This skill gives Clawd access to the Sponge Wallet REST API — a full crypto wallet with swaps, bridges, trading, payments, banking, and paid external services.

Quick Start

What You Can Do

1. Manage crypto — check balances, transfer tokens (EVM/Solana/Tempo), swap on Solana/Base/Ethereum/Polygon/Arbitrum/Tempo, bridge cross-chain
2. Create payment links — generate reusable x402 payment URLs
3. Access paid external services — search, image gen, web scraping, AI, data enrichment
4. Banking — KYC onboarding, virtual bank accounts (receive USD as USDC), off-ramp to bank
5. Trade — Polymarket prediction markets, Hyperliquid perpetuals
6. Checkout — shop from online stores via URL checkout
7. Store cards — encrypted card data for checkout, virtual cards, Sponge Card
8. Fiat onramp — buy crypto with card/bank via Stripe or Coinbase

Error Handling

Security

• Never share your API key in logs, posts, or screenshots
• Store API key in environment variable SPONGE_API_KEY
• Rotate the key if exposure is suspected
• Use sponge_test_* keys for development, sponge_live_* for production

Integration with Clawd

The Sponge Wallet can be used by Clawd in two ways:

1. Direct REST calls — use fetch_url tool or curl via shell to hit the Sponge API
2. MCP Server — connect to https://api.wallet.paysponge.com/mcp with Authorization: Bearer $SPONGE_API_KEY header for structured tool access
