Vercel Deployment & Management

Deploy and manage Vercel projects. No "AI will build your app" nonsense - just practical Vercel operations.

Configuration

Vercel Setup

Get your token:

Go to https://vercel.com/account/tokens
Create token (name it "OpenClaw")
Set in environment:

export VERCEL_TOKEN="your-token-here"

Or store in .env:

VERCEL_TOKEN=your-token-here

Vercel Operations

Deploy Project

# Deploy to preview
scripts/vercel_deploy.sh --project bountylock --preview

# Deploy to production
scripts/vercel_deploy.sh --project bountylock --production

Manage Environment Variables

# List env vars
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --list

# Set env var
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --set \
  --key NEXT_PUBLIC_RPC_URL \
  --value "https://sepolia.base.org" \
  --env production

# Delete env var
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --delete \
  --key OLD_VAR \
  --env production

Check Deployment Status

# Get latest deployment
scripts/vercel_status.sh --project bountylock

# Get specific deployment
scripts/vercel_status.sh --deployment dpl_abc123

View Logs

# Get deployment logs
scripts/vercel_logs.sh --deployment dpl_abc123

# Get runtime logs
scripts/vercel_logs.sh --project bountylock --function api/bounties

Common Workflows

Initial Testnet Deployment

Set environment variables:

# Contract addresses (after deploying to Sepolia)
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --set \
  --key NEXT_PUBLIC_CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
  --value "0x..." \
  --env production

# RPC URL
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --set \
  --key NEXT_PUBLIC_RPC_URL \
  --value "https://sepolia.base.org" \
  --env production

# Chain ID
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --set \
  --key NEXT_PUBLIC_CHAIN_ID \
  --value "84532" \
  --env production

Deploy:

scripts/vercel_deploy.sh --project bountylock --production

Check status:

scripts/vercel_status.sh --project bountylock

Update Environment Variables

# Update contract address after redeployment
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --set \
  --key NEXT_PUBLIC_CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
  --value "0xNEW_ADDRESS" \
  --env production

# Trigger new deployment to use updated vars
scripts/vercel_deploy.sh --project bountylock --production

Debug Deployment Issues

# Get latest deployment info
scripts/vercel_status.sh --project bountylock

# Get build logs
scripts/vercel_logs.sh --deployment dpl_abc123

# Check environment variables
scripts/vercel_env.sh --project bountylock --list

Security Best Practices

Token Scope: Use project-scoped tokens when possible
Rotation: Rotate tokens periodically
Audit: Review deployment logs regularly
Secrets: Never commit tokens to git

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed"

Check token is set correctly
Verify token hasn't expired

"Project not found"

Verify project name matches Vercel project
Check account has access to project

"Deployment failed"

Check build logs: scripts/vercel_logs.sh --deployment dpl_xxx
Verify environment variables are set correctly
Check for build errors in code
