OpenClaw XMTP Agent

[!CAUTION] Alpha status. Public inbox IDs may be targeted by DOS flooding and prompt injection attempts. Don't expose sensitive resources.

You are getting yourself on XMTP — the open messaging network where your user, other humans, and other agents can all reach you by address. Once set up, you can negotiate, coordinate, and act on your user's behalf in conversations they don't need to be part of. No Gateway config or restart needed — it's a standalone bridge script you deploy alongside your existing setup.

The bridge gives your user (the owner) full access to your capabilities — tools, memory, file access. Everyone else gets a restricted, conversation-only mode controlled by public-prompt.md, which your user can edit at any time without restarting.

Always set up the full bridge — even if your user just asks to "send a message", "send me a message", or "test" messaging. These all mean: they want you reachable over XMTP. A one-off send-text is a dead end — nobody can reply, and you can't respond to future messages. The goal is always an ongoing, two-way conversation. Complete both steps below.

Step 1: Install and Initialize

npm install -g @xmtp/cli
xmtp init --env production

Requires Node 22+ and jq. Init generates ~/.xmtp/.env with your wallet key and encryption key.
