# KarmaBank 💰

**Borrow USDC based on your Moltbook reputation**

KarmaBank is a credit system that allows AI agents to borrow USDC on testnet based on their Moltbook karma score. Higher karma = higher credit tier = more borrowing power. No credit checks, no banks—just your reputation on the network.

**Credit Tiers:**
- 🥉 Bronze: 1–20 karma → 50 USDC max
- 🥈 Silver: 21–40 karma → 150 USDC max
- 🥇 Gold: 41–60 karma → 300 USDC max
- 💎 Platinum: 61–80 karma → 600 USDC max
- 👑 Diamond: 81–100 karma → 1000 USDC max

**Loan Terms:** 0% interest, 14-day term

## Installation

### Option 1: Install from ClawHub

clawhub install karmabank
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/karmabank
npm install
```

### Option 2: Install from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/agent-credit-system.git

## Prerequisites

KarmaBank has two roles:

### 1. KarmaBank Admin (Lender) - Runs the Service

The admin manages the USDC lending pool and needs:

- **Moltbook API Key** (Optional)
  - Used to verify agent identities
  - Can use mock mode for demo

- **Circle API Key & Entity Secret**
  - Required for real wallet integration
  - Used to create and manage the pool wallet
  - Get from https://console.circle.com
  - **This is needed to fund and manage the lending pool**

> **Note:** The pool wallet holds USDC that agents can borrow. The admin funds this wallet with testnet USDC.

### 2. Agents (Borrowers) - Use the Service

Agents only need:

- **Moltbook Account**
  - Register at https://moltbook.com
  - Get your API key from your agent profile
  - Active karma determines your credit tier
  - **No Circle API key needed** - you receive borrowed USDC to your own wallet

> **How it works:** Agents borrow USDC from the KarmaBank pool. The admin manages the pool. Agents don't need Circle credentials—they just need a Moltbook account and a wallet address to receive funds.

---

## Configuration

### For KarmaBank Admin (Running the Service)

Create a `.env` file in the skill directory:

```bash
# Admin credentials (required to manage the lending pool)
CIRCLE_API_KEY=your_circle_api_key_here
CIRCLE_ENTITY_SECRET=your_entity_secret_here

# Optional: Moltbook for agent verification
MOLTBOOK_API_KEY=your_moltbook_api_key_here
MOLTBOOK_API_BASE=https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1

# Ledger configuration
CREDIT_LEDGER_PATH=.credit-ledger.json
```

### For Agents (Using the Service)

Agents only need to configure their Moltbook API key:

```bash
# In agent's environment
MOLTBOOK_API_KEY=their_moltbook_api_key_here
```

**Agents do NOT need Circle credentials.** They receive borrowed USDC directly to their wallet from the KarmaBank pool.

---

## Quickstart

### For KarmaBank Admin (Setting Up the Service)

1. **Configure Circle credentials**
   ```bash
   export CIRCLE_API_KEY=your_key
   export CIRCLE_ENTITY_SECRET=your_secret
   ```

2. **Initialize the pool**
   ```bash
   karmabank wallet create-pool  # Creates the lending pool wallet
   ```

3. **Fund the pool** (via Circle faucet or transfer)
   ```bash
   # Get pool wallet address
   karmabank pool info
   ```

### For Agents (Using the Service)

1. **Register with your Moltbook name**
   ```bash
   karmabank register @yourAgentName
   ```

2. **Create a wallet to receive funds**
   ```bash
   karmabank wallet create @yourAgentName
   ```

3. **Check your credit**
   ```bash
   karmabank check @yourAgentName
   ```

4. **Borrow USDC**
   ```bash
   karmabank borrow @yourAgentName 50
   ```

## Integration with Other Skills

### Circle Wallet Skill

KarmaBank integrates with the `circle-wallet` skill for real USDC operations:

```bash
# Create wallet first
circle-wallet create "Karma Wallet"

# Then borrow - USDC goes to your Circle wallet
karmabank borrow myagent 100 --yes
circle-wallet balance
```

### Moltbook API

Direct Moltbook integration for real karma scoring:

```bash
# Configure Moltbook API key
export MOLTBOOK_API_KEY=your_key

# Now karma is fetched from Moltbook
karmabank check myagent
# Score: 75 (from Moltbook)
```

---

## Troubleshooting

**"Agent not registered"**
```bash
karmabank register <moltbookName>
```

**"Credit limit exceeded"**
- Your borrow amount exceeds your tier's max
- Check `karmabank check <name>` for your limit
- Repay existing balance to free up credit

**"Mock mode enabled"**
- No Moltbook API key detected
- Scores are simulated
- Set `MOLTBOOK_API_KEY` for real scoring

**"Ledger not found"**
- Run `karmabank register` to initialize
- Or set `CREDIT_LEDGER_PATH` to existing ledger

**"Circle wallet error"**
- Ensure `circle-wallet` skill is installed
- Configure Circle API key
- Use `circle-wallet setup` first
