Common Workflows
Automated Wallet Monitoring
1Ask OpenClaw to create a wallet monitoring skill
2It writes a skill that calls GoldRush APIs on a cron schedule
3Configure notifications via Telegram, Discord, or Slack
4OpenClaw runs the skill autonomously and alerts on changes
Portfolio Tracking Bot
1Request a portfolio tracker for multiple wallets
2OpenClaw creates a skill using GoldRush balance and pricing APIs
3Set up daily summary reports via your messaging platform
4The bot tracks value changes and highlights significant movements
Build a Custom Blockchain Skill
1Describe the blockchain data task you need automated
2OpenClaw writes a new skill using GoldRush SDK
3Test the skill interactively through chat
4Deploy it as a scheduled or webhook-triggered automation
DEX Activity Alerts
1Ask OpenClaw to monitor DEX activity on specific chains
2It builds a skill that queries GoldRush for new pairs and volume
3Configure alert thresholds and notification channels
4Receive real-time alerts when conditions are met
Tips for Success
OpenClaw can write its own skills, so ask it to build GoldRush integrations as reusable skills
Use cron jobs for regular blockchain data checks like balance monitoring
Configure multiple messaging channels to receive alerts where you prefer
Start with simple queries before building complex automated workflows
OpenClaw FAQ
Yes, OpenClaw has MCP Registry support for integrating external tools like the GoldRush MCP Server. Configure it through the MCP settings in your OpenClaw instance.
Troubleshooting
MCP Server not connectingCheck your MCP registry configuration in OpenClaw settings. Ensure Node.js 22+ is installed and the GoldRush MCP Server can be reached.
Skills failing to executeReview the skill code OpenClaw generated. Ensure your GOLDRUSH_API_KEY environment variable is set. Check the OpenClaw logs for detailed error messages.
Cron jobs not triggeringVerify the OpenClaw daemon is running with 'openclaw onboard --install-daemon'. Check that the cron expression is valid and the skill is properly registered.
