Release v0.9.0-rc3

v0.9.0-rc3 — Hermes + OBOL

Third release candidate for the upcoming v0.9.0. This release introduces the hermes agent framework by NousResearch, along with support for $OBOL on mainnet in obol sell commands, and introduces some demo services to sell for new users to quickly host some sample local agent services they can iterate on later.

Note

You can get Base Sepolia Eth here and Base Sepolia USDC here. The OBOL Permit2 path uses a fork-local OBOL ERC20Permit token; no public bridged OBOL deployment is required.

Warning

This software is early alpha, you could lose what you put in. Please use caution when it comes to (non-testnet) assets.

v0.8.0 — Agent Payments on Base and Mainnet

v0.8.0 — Agent Payments on Base and Mainnet

This release gives Obol Agents the ability to sell inference and http services via x402 payments on Base and Mainnet. Agents can now discover and register themselves on ERC-8004 registries, along with their services to sell. These can be exposed through a cloudflare tunnel with an obol sell command. Like:
obol sell http my-service-for-sale --upstream my-service.openclaw-obol-agent.svc.cluster.local --port 8090 --wallet <your agents wallet> --price 0.001 --chain base

Registration is on by default; pass --no-register to skip the ERC-8004 step.

Note

You can get Base Sepolia Eth here and Base Sepolia USDC here. Human gated so you'll have to get it for your agent.

Warning

This software is early alpha, you could lose what you put in. Please use caution when it comes to (non-testnet) assets.
