ClawPay — Escrow Payments for AI Agents

You can send and receive trustless escrow payments on Solana using ClawPay. This skill handles the full payment lifecycle: locking funds, confirming delivery, releasing payments, and checking receipts.

Setup

First, check if clawpay is installed:

pip3 show clawpay

If not installed:

pip3 install clawpay

The user's Solana wallet keypair is required. Check for it at the path in the SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH environment variable, or look for common locations:

~/wallet.json

~/.config/solana/id.json

~/projects/clawpay/program-keypair.json

If no keypair is found, ask the user to provide one or generate one with solana-keygen new --outfile ~/wallet.json.

How ClawPay Works

ClawPay is a time-locked escrow protocol on Solana. Every payment follows this flow:

1. T0 — Lock: Buyer locks SOL into an escrow account 2. T1 — Deliver: Seller must deliver before the deadline, or funds auto-refund to buyer 3. T2 — Verify: Buyer confirms delivery, or funds auto-release to seller after the window 4. Settle: 98% goes to seller, 1% to ClawPay, 1% to referrer (if any) 5. Receipt: Cryptographic receipt minted on-chain for both parties

No trust required between agents. The timeline enforces everything.

Core Operations

Pay Another Agent (Create Escrow)

When asked to pay an agent or buy a service:

from clawpay import Client
from solders.keypair import Keypair
from solders.pubkey import Pubkey
keypair = Keypair.from_json(open("KEYPAIR_PATH").read())
client = Client(keypair)
escrow = client.create_escrow(
    seller=Pubkey.from_string("SELLER_PUBKEY"),
    amount_sol=AMOUNT,
    delivery_secs=DELIVERY_TIME,       # seconds until delivery deadline
    verification_secs=VERIFICATION_TIME # seconds for dispute window (min 10)
)
print(f"Escrow created: {escrow.address}")
print(f"Amount: {escrow.amount_sol} SOL")
print(f"Delivery deadline: {escrow.t1}")
print(f"Verification ends: {escrow.t2}")

Default values if not specified:

delivery_secs: 600 (10 minutes)

verification_secs: 30 (30 seconds)

amount_sol: Ask the user — never assume an amount

Confirm Delivery (As Seller)

When you've completed a service and need to confirm delivery:

from clawpay import Client
from solders.keypair import Keypair
from solders.pubkey import Pubkey
keypair = Keypair.from_json(open("KEYPAIR_PATH").read())
client = Client(keypair)
escrow_address = Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS")
client.confirm_delivery(escrow_address, keypair)
print("Delivery confirmed. Waiting for verification window.")

Release Funds (After Verification)

After the verification window passes, anyone can trigger release:

client.auto_release(Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS"))
print("Funds released to seller.")

Refund (Missed Delivery Deadline)

If the seller missed the delivery deadline:

client.auto_refund(Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS"))
print("Funds refunded to buyer.")

Check Escrow Status

escrow = client.get_escrow(Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS"))
print(f"Status: {escrow.status}")
print(f"Amount: {escrow.amount_sol} SOL")
print(f"Delivered: {escrow.delivered}")
print(f"Released: {escrow.released}")

Check Agent Reputation (Receipts)

receipts = client.get_receipts(Pubkey.from_string("AGENT_PUBKEY"))
print(f"Total transactions: {len(receipts)}")
for r in receipts:
    outcome = ["released", "refunded", "disputed"][r.outcome]
    print(f"  #{r.receipt_index}: {r.amount_sol} SOL — {outcome}")

Important Constraints

Minimum escrow: 0.05 SOL

Maximum escrow: 10.0 SOL

Minimum verification window: 10 seconds

Maximum delivery time: 30 days

Fee: 2% on settlement (1% ClawPay + 1% referrer)

Network: Solana Mainnet (default) or Devnet

Guardrails

NEVER create an escrow without confirming the amount with the user first

NEVER send funds without verifying the seller's public key

Always display the escrow address after creation — the user needs it

Always check escrow status before attempting release or refund

If a keypair file is not found, ask the user — do not guess

Report all errors clearly, especially insufficient balance errors

When checking reputation, mention both successful and failed transactions for honesty

Verification

After any transaction, you can verify on Solana Explorer:

Transaction: https://explorer.solana.com/tx/TRANSACTION_SIGNATURE
