Gonka.ai × OpenClaw — one-command setup for almost-free AI agents.
GonkaClaw sets up openGNK (a Gonka inference proxy) and OpenClaw together, giving you a fully working AI agent framework powered by Gonka's decentralized inference network — at up to 100x less cost than commercial APIs.
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gonkalabs/gonkaclaw/main/setup.sh)That's it. The script handles everything:
- Clones & builds openGNK — fetches the repo and starts the Docker-based Gonka proxy
- Creates a Gonka wallet — downloads the
inferencedCLI, generates a keypair, registers on-chain - Configures openGNK — writes
.envwith wallet credentials, native tool calls enabled, multi-node retry - Installs OpenClaw —
npm install -g openclaw@latest - Configures OpenClaw — sets openGNK (
localhost:8080/v1) as the default AI provider with Qwen3 235B
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| Docker | Daemon must be running |
| Node.js ≥ 22 | Required by OpenClaw |
| git | To clone openGNK |
| curl | To download inferenced |
| unzip | To extract inferenced |
All options are environment variables you can set before running the script:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
INSTALL_DIR |
./opengnk |
Where to clone the openGNK repo |
OPENGNK_PORT |
8080 |
Port for the openGNK proxy |
NODE_URL |
http://node1.gonka.ai:8000 |
Gonka genesis node for account creation |
ACCOUNT_NAME |
opengnk-wallet |
Name for the local wallet keyring entry |
Example with custom port:
OPENGNK_PORT=9090 bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gonkalabs/gonkaclaw/main/setup.sh)- Fund your wallet — go to gonka.gg/faucet and paste your wallet address
- Open the dashboard — run
openclaw dashboard - Try the proxy directly —
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"model":"Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-FP8","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'
- Open the web UI — http://localhost:8080
| Path | Description |
|---|---|
opengnk/ |
Cloned openGNK repo with configured .env |
.data/ |
inferenced binary + wallet keyring |
wallet-info.txt |
Wallet address, private key, mnemonic (chmod 600) |
Commercial AI APIs charge $15–20 per million tokens. Gonka's decentralized inference network provides the same models (Qwen3 235B with native tool calling, 240k context) at roughly $0.15 per million tokens — that's up to 100x cheaper.
GonkaClaw removes all the setup friction: no API keys to manage, no billing to configure, no vendor lock-in. Just run one command and start building.
