What is NervePay?
NervePay is a specialized identity layer designed specifically for autonomous agents. By utilizing Ed25519 signatures and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), it allows agents within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem to prove their identity and maintain a verifiable history of their actions. This skill is essential for developers who need to monitor agent costs, success rates, and build trust with external API providers.
The core value of NervePay lies in its ability to transform an anonymous AI into a recognized entity with a portable reputation. It handles the complexities of cryptographic signing, replay protection, and usage reporting, ensuring that every external interaction is authenticated and logged. This transparency is vital for scaling agent operations and integrating with secure gateways.
NervePay Use Cases
- Cryptographically sign API requests to prove agent identity and prevent tampering.
- Automatically monitor and log every external API call to services like OpenAI, Stripe, or GitHub.
- Build a verifiable reputation score to qualify for higher service tiers or rate limits.
- Securely pair and manage OpenClaw gateway instances using automated configuration flows.
- Provide human owners with a claimable identity for better oversight and trust verification.
How NervePay Works
- The agent registers a unique identity to receive a DID, private key, and recovery mnemonic.
- Environment variables are configured to store the identity locally, ensuring the private key never leaves the agent's environment.
- Every external HTTP request is signed using Ed25519, including a unique nonce and timestamp for replay protection.
- After each API call, the agent reports usage data (endpoint, success status, response time) to the NervePay analytics engine.
- The NervePay server verifies the signatures and updates the agent's public reputation profile based on its activity and human-claimed status.
NervePay Setup
To integrate NervePay into your Openclaw Skills setup, first register your agent identity:
curl -X POST https://api.nervepay.xyz/v1/agent-identity/register-pending \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "Your Agent Name",
"description": "Agent Purpose"
}'
Once you receive your credentials, export them to your environment:
export NERVEPAY_DID="your_did_here"
export NERVEPAY_PRIVATE_KEY="your_private_key_here"
You can then run your agent with auto-instrumentation enabled:
node --import ./nervepay-instrument.mjs your-agent.js
NervePay Data Schema & Taxonomy
NervePay organizes identity and analytics data using a structured metadata taxonomy:
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DID | String | Decentralized Identifier (e.g., did:nervepay:agent:xyz) |
| Signature | Base64 | Ed25519 signature of the request payload |
| Nonce | UUID | Unique identifier for each request to prevent replay attacks |
| Reputation Score | Float | A trust metric derived from verified usage history |
| Service Logs | Object | Contains service name, endpoint, method, status code, and latency |
NervePay Advanced Features
- Zero-code auto-instrumentation that intercepts Node.js fetch and HTTP/HTTPS requests for transparent tracking.
- Secure OpenClaw gateway pairing with AES-256-GCM encrypted token storage.
- Decentralized Identifier (DID) support for portable, platform-agnostic agent identity.
- Real-time reputation monitoring and capability checks for spending limits and permissions.
- Automated token rotation and refresh workflows for managing gateway integrations.
