Skills

#	Skill	Endpoint	Method	Description
1	balance	`/balance/:address`	GET	ETH and USDC balances for any Base address
2	tx	`/tx/:hash`	GET	Decoded transaction details for any Base tx hash
3	price	`/price/:token`	GET	Current USD price for ETH, USDC, WETH, DAI, USDT, CBETH
4	wallet	`/wallet/generate`	GET	Generate a fresh Ethereum keypair for Base
5	chat	`/chat`	POST	Chat with the Pinion AI agent (web search enabled)
6	send	`/send`	POST	Construct an unsigned ETH or USDC transfer on Base
7	trade	`/trade`	POST	Get an unsigned swap tx via 1inch aggregator on Base
8	fund	`/fund/:address`	GET	Wallet balances and funding instructions for Base

Each skill has its own SKILL.md in skills/<name>/ with full parameters, example requests and responses.

How x402 Works

•Client calls a paywalled endpoint (e.g. GET /skill/balance/0x...)
•Server responds with HTTP 402 and payment requirements (amount, token, network, recipient)
•Client signs a USDC TransferWithAuthorization (EIP-3009) using their wallet
•Client retries the request with the X-PAYMENT header containing the signed payment
•Server verifies the payment via the x402 facilitator, returns the data, and settles the USDC transfer

Every call = 1 real USDC transaction on Base.

Install as OpenClaw Plugin

Copy the pinion-openclaw-skill/ directory into your OpenClaw workspace skills/ folder:

bash

cp -r pinion-openclaw-skill ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/pinion-chain-intel

Or install from the repo:

bash

git clone https://github.com/chu2bard/pinion-os.git
cp -r pinion-os/pinion-openclaw-skill ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/pinion-chain-intel

OpenClaw loads skills from workspace/skills/ on the next session. The 8 individual SKILL.md files tell the agent what each skill does, how to call it, and what to expect back.

Use with Pinion OS SDK

bash

npm install pinion-os

typescript

import { PinionClient } from "pinion-os";

const pinion = new PinionClient({ privateKey: process.env.PINION_PRIVATE_KEY });
const balance = await pinion.skills.balance("0x101C...");
const price = await pinion.skills.price("ETH");
const chat = await pinion.skills.chat("what is x402?");

The SDK handles x402 payment signing automatically.

Run Your Own Server

bash

git clone https://github.com/chu2bard/pinion-os.git
cd pinion-os
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# Set ADDRESS to your wallet
npm run dev
