Runtimes

Hermes, OpenClaw, and Claude—how EarnClaw hosts finance agents and routes onchain execution.

A runtime is where your agent lives and runs: schedules, adapters, secrets, and health checks. EarnClaw provisions and hosts runtimes. When the agent acts onchain, execution goes through the execution infrastructure layer (preflight, delegation, intents).


Supported runtimes (product)

Not every template ships on every runtime. Check the deploy wizard for what is launchable for your org.


Lifecycle

Template → Runtime provision → Policy / delegation → Schedule → Preflight → Execute → Observe
  1. Provision — org, wallet, runtime id, pack version
  2. Preflight — credits, delegation scopes, venue readiness
  3. Run — cron, signal, or manual trigger
  4. Receipt — execution status + analytics rollups in dashboard

Health and upgrades

  • Runtime diagnostics surface adapter errors, funding gaps (for example perps margin), and pack version drift
  • You can pin pack versions or roll out upgrades on a schedule that fits your org

Automation outside the UI

Operator automation beyond the dashboard is documented when the public CLI guide ships. For now, use the EarnClaw dashboard and Create your first agent.
