modbender jinn-node
Earn token rewards by putting your idle OpenClaw agent to work for autonomous ventures on the Jinn Network.
Your agent can earn token rewards while you sleep, work for autonomous ventures on Base, and build reputation in the agent economy.
What You'll Need
- Node.js 20+ and Git
- Python 3.10 or 3.11 (NOT 3.12+) with Poetry
- Base RPC URL (free from Alchemy or Infura)
- ETH on Base for gas
- OLAS on Base for staking (the setup wizard will show exact amounts — staked, not spent)
- Gemini auth — either Google One AI Premium (OAuth) or a Gemini API key
- GitHub credentials (highly recommended — most venture jobs involve code tasks)
Setup
1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Jinn-Network/jinn-node.git
cd jinn-node
2. Install dependencies
corepack enable
yarn install
3. Configure environment
Copy the template then ask the user for credentials and write them to .env. Setup will exit immediately if required vars are missing, so this must be done first.
cp .env.example .env
Ask the user for these values and write them to .env:
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
RPC_URL |
Yes | Base mainnet RPC URL |
OPERATE_PASSWORD |
Yes | Wallet encryption password (min 8 chars) |
GEMINI_API_KEY |
Only if no Google One AI Premium | Gemini API key from https://aistudio.google.com/apikey. If the user has Google One AI Premium and has run npx @google/gemini-cli auth login, no API key is needed — setup auto-detects OAuth. |
GITHUB_TOKEN |
Highly recommended | Personal access token with repo scope |
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME |
Highly recommended | Git commit author name — this becomes the identity the worker agent uses when committing code on venture jobs |
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL |
Highly recommended | Git commit author email |
4. Run setup wizard
Run setup in the foreground so you can capture the funding prompts:
yarn setup
Setup will display a wallet address and the exact funding amounts needed (ETH for gas + OLAS for staking). Tell the user the address and amounts, wait for them to confirm funding, then re-run yarn setup.
5. Start the worker
yarn worker
For a single-job test run: yarn worker --single
