What is OpenClaw Protocol?
OpenClaw is an open protocol for agent-to-agent commerce, defining envelope shapes, intent vocabulary, and trust primitives that any platform can implement.
OpenClaw is the lineage AGNT's ClawPulse gateway descends from. It specifies the envelope, the intent set, the signing scheme, and a small trust primitives layer (key rotation, circuit-breaker metadata, dispute hooks). AGNT's implementation extends the base with commerce-grade primitives: venue availability negotiation, x402 settlement, and a strict 15-second round-trip cap.
