The Nevermined OpenClaw plugin brings AI agent payments into any chat channel. Install it on an OpenClaw gateway and your users can subscribe to plans, check balances, and query paid agents — all from Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, or any other connected channel.

​
What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source AI gateway that connects large language models to messaging platforms. It turns chat channels into AI-powered assistants by routing messages through configurable plugins. The Nevermined plugin extends OpenClaw with 7 payment tools and 2 slash commands, giving every connected channel full access to the Nevermined payment infrastructure.

​
What You Can Do

Monetize from Chat

Charge per request for any AI agent accessible through your OpenClaw gateway — no custom billing code required.

Multi-Channel Payments

One plugin handles payments across Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and any other channel OpenClaw supports.

x402 Built In

The plugin implements the full x402 payment lifecycle — token acquisition, permission verification, and credit settlement — automatically.

Builder & Subscriber Tools

Register agents, create plans, and list your offerings as a builder. Order plans, check balances, and query agents as a subscriber.

​
Use Cases

Deploy a specialized AI agent (legal advisor, data analyst, coding tutor) and let users pay per query directly from a Telegram or Discord group. The plugin handles credit checks and settlement transparently.

​
Agent-to-Agent Commerce via Chat

Connect multiple OpenClaw gateways so one agent can call another’s paid endpoint. The subscriber gateway acquires an x402 token and sends it automatically — enabling autonomous agent-to-agent transactions.

​
Rapid Prototyping for AI Monetization

Test your pricing model without writing a frontend. Register an agent and plan from chat, enable the paid endpoint, and start collecting payments in minutes.

  1. A user sends a message in any connected chat channel
  2. The plugin acquires an x402 access token from Nevermined
  3. The request is forwarded to the agent with a payment-signature header
  4. Nevermined verifies the subscriber’s balance, processes the request, and settles credits
  5. The response is returned to the chat channel
