What is NervePay?
NervePay provides a foundational layer for AI agents to establish a verifiable, decentralized identity (DID) and maintain a transparent record of their activities. By utilizing this skill from the Openclaw Skills collection, developers can ensure their agents operate with a high degree of trust. The system uses Ed25519 cryptographic signatures to authenticate requests, ensuring that every action taken by the agent is provable and tamper-proof.
Beyond simple authentication, NervePay enables agents to build a reputation over time. By tracking every external API call—from LLM providers like OpenAI to payment processors like Stripe—the skill generates a verifiable history of performance, cost, and reliability. This makes it an essential component for professional agent deployments where accountability and secure credential management are paramount.
NervePay Use Cases
- Establishing a unique, verifiable identity for an AI agent across multiple platforms.
- Building a cryptographic reputation score based on successful API interactions and uptime.
- Monitoring and reporting API costs and success rates for services like OpenAI, GitHub, or Stripe.
- Securely managing and retrieving sensitive API keys through an encrypted vault system.
- Automating the configuration and pairing of OpenClaw gateways for seamless agent orchestration.
How NervePay Works
- The agent generates or registers a Decentralized Identifier (DID) and an Ed25519 private key pair to establish its unique identity.
- All interactions with the NervePay API are signed using the private key, providing proof of identity, integrity, and replay protection.
- As the agent performs tasks, it uses helper scripts or automatic instrumentation to report every external HTTP request to the analytics engine.
- The system aggregates this data to compute a reputation score and provide a detailed audit trail for the agent's human owner.
- The agent securely retrieves secrets from the NervePay Vault on-demand, ensuring sensitive credentials are never stored in plaintext.
NervePay Setup
To integrate this skill into your Openclaw Skills workflow, first download the required helper scripts:
for script in nervepay-request.mjs nervepay-track.mjs nervepay-instrument.mjs; do
curl -o "$script" "https://nervepay.xyz/$script"
chmod +x "$script"
done
Next, register your agent identity to receive your DID and private key:
curl -X POST https://api.nervepay.xyz/v1/agent-identity/register-pending \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "MyAI", "description": "Strategic assistant"}'
Store the returned did and private_key as environment variables (NERVEPAY_DID and NERVEPAY_PRIVATE_KEY) to begin making authenticated requests.
NervePay Data Schema & Taxonomy
NervePay organizes information using a structured taxonomy centered around the agent's decentralized identifier. Data is categorized as follows:
| Data Type | Description | Key Fields |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Profile | Public metadata and cryptographic keys. | DID, Name, Public Key, Reputation Score |
| Analytics Log | Detailed records of every external API call. | Service Name, Endpoint, Success, Response Time, Cost |
| Vault Secrets | Securely stored credentials for the agent. | Secret Name, Provider, Environment, Encrypted Value |
| Pairing State | Status of gateway integrations. | Gateway URL, Gateway Token, Linked Agent DID |
NervePay Advanced Features
- Auto-Instrumentation: Use the
nervepay-instrument.mjsscript to automatically track all outbound fetch and HTTP calls without modifying existing code. - Secure Vault: Access a per-agent isolated vault with AES-256-GCM envelope encryption for managing sensitive API keys and database strings.
- Gateway Pairing: Utilize the pairing flow to automatically configure OpenClaw gateways using short-lived pairing codes and DID-verified token rotation.
- Reputation Portability: Carry your agent's verified usage history and trust score across different hosts and platforms.
- Replay Protection: Built-in nonce and timestamp verification prevents unauthorized parties from re-using captured agent signatures.
