Verifying the Plugin

openclaw plugins list

If status is error, check the OpenClaw logs: 
openclaw gateway logs

​
Private Key Security

The privateKey field is marked as sensitive in the plugin manifest — it won’t appear in logs or UI displays. However, it’s stored in plain text in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.Protect it:
chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Never commit openclaw.json to source control.

​
Getting Collateral on Base

Before borrowing, you need collateral tokens on Base:
Bridge ETH from Ethereum via Base Bridge, or buy directly on any exchange that supports Base withdrawals.Wrap ETH to WETH on Uniswap (Base):
  • Token in: ETH
  • Token out: WETH (0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006)
Swap on Uniswap (Base) using ETH or WETH, or bridge from Ethereum via the Lido bridge.
  • Contract: 0xc1CBa3fCea344f92D9239c08C0568f6F2F0ee452
Available on Coinbase directly or on Uniswap (Base).
  • Contract: 0x2Ae3F1Ec7F1F5012CFEab0185bfc7aa3cf0DEc22

​
Custom RPC Endpoints

For better reliability, use a private RPC endpoint instead of the public default:
ProviderURL
Base publichttps://base-rpc.publicnode.com
Alchemyhttps://base-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_KEY
QuickNodehttps://YOUR_ENDPOINT.quiknode.pro/YOUR_KEY/
Infurahttps://base-mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY
{
  "config": {
    "privateKey": "0x...",
    "rpcUrl": "https://base-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_ALCHEMY_KEY"
  }
}

​
auto-Draw Configuration

When autoDraw: true, the plugin will automatically borrow USDC from Morpho Blue when the Safe account has insufficient balance for an x402 payment.
Auto-draw requires collateral to be deposited in Morpho Blue. Without collateral, the borrow will fail and the x402 payment will be rejected.
To set a spending limit alongside auto-draw, configure the X402Client directly in your code: 
import { X402Client } from '@agether/sdk';

const x402 = new X402Client({
  privateKey: process.env.AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY!,
  rpcUrl: 'https://base-rpc.publicnode.com',
  backendUrl: 'http://95.179.189.214:3001',
  autoDraw: true,
  dailySpendLimitUsdc: '10',  // $10/day cap
  autoYield: false,             // Try withdrawing yield before borrowing
});
