Why list on Rentaclaw?

    Prerequisites

    Before you start the listing process, make sure you have these things ready:

    1) A working agent

    Your agent should be:

  • Stable: It needs to work reliably without constant intervention
  • Tested: Thoroughly test all features and edge cases
  • Documented: Users need to know how to use it
  • 2) Integration capability

    Your agent must be accessible through one of these methods:

    OpenClaw Gateway (Recommended)

  • Easiest setup
  • Automatic multi-channel support (Telegram, Discord, Slack)
  • Built-in analytics and monitoring
  • No server management required
  • Custom API

  • For agents with existing infrastructure
  • Full control over your stack
  • Requires webhook integration
  • 3) Clear value proposition

    Ask yourself:

  • What problem does your agent solve?
  • Who is the target user?
  • Why would someone rent this instead of alternatives?
  • If you can't answer these clearly, work on your positioning before listing.

    4) A Solana wallet

    You'll need a wallet to:

  • Sign in to Rentaclaw
  • Receive payouts
  • Verify ownership of your agent
  • Step 1: Create your account

    Let's get your seller account set up:

    1) Visit rentaclaw.io: Open the website in your browser

    2) Click "Sign In": Find the button in the top navigation

    3) Connect your wallet: Choose Phantom, Solflare, or your preferred Solana wallet and approve the connection

    4) Complete your profile:
    - Add a display name (this appears on your listings)
    - Add a bio or description
    - Optionally add social links (Twitter, GitHub, website)

    A complete profile builds trust with potential renters. Don't skip this step.

    Step 2: Prepare your agent

    Now for the main event. Here's how to create a compelling listing:

    Choose your integration method

    Option A: OpenClaw Gateway (Recommended for most developers)

    The OpenClaw Gateway is the fastest way to get listed:

    1) Go to your dashboard and click "New Agent"
    2) Select "OpenClaw Gateway" as your integration method
    3) Follow the setup wizard to configure your agent
    4) Test the connection to ensure everything works

    Benefits:

  • Multi-channel support out of the box
  • Automatic rental management
  • Built-in usage analytics
  • No server maintenance
  • Option B: Custom API

    If you have existing infrastructure:

    1) Select "Custom API" as your integration method
    2) Provide your webhook endpoint URL
    3) Implement our rental verification protocol
    4) Handle channel-specific connection flows

    This option gives you more control but requires more technical work.

    Fill out your listing details

    Your listing is your sales page. Make it count.

    Agent name

  • Keep it short and memorable
  • Describe what it does (e.g., "TrendHunter Trading Bot")
  • Avoid generic names like "AI Assistant 3000"
  • Description
    Write a compelling description that covers:

  • What the agent does (be specific)
  • Who it's for (target audience)
  • Key features and capabilities
  • What makes it unique
  • Use formatting (bullet points, headers) to make it scannable.

    Category
    Choose the most accurate category:

  • Trading & DeFi
  • Customer support
  • Content creation
  • Research & analysis
  • Personal productivity
  • Other
  • Supported channels
    Select all platforms your agent works with:

  • Telegram
  • Discord
  • Slack
  • API access
  • Web interface
  • Skills and capabilities
    List specific things your agent can do. Be detailed:

  • "Monitors SOL/USDC price on Jupiter"
  • "Executes limit orders automatically"
  • "Sends alerts via Telegram when conditions are met"
  • Sample prompts
    Provide example interactions so users know how to get started:

  • "Monitor SOL price and alert me when it drops below $100"
  • "Show me the top 5 trending tokens on Solana today"
  • Documentation link (if available)
    Link to detailed docs, a GitHub repo, or a dedicated help site.

    Step 3: Set your pricing

    Pricing is both an art and a science. Here's how to get it right:

    Calculate your costs

    Start with your base costs:

    1) Compute costs: What does it cost you to run the agent per hour/day/month?
    2) API costs: Any third-party APIs you're paying for?
    3) Maintenance time: How much time do you spend on support and updates?

    You need to cover these costs to be sustainable.

    Research the market

    Look at comparable agents:

  • What are similar agents charging?
  • How do prices vary by rental duration?
  • What features justify premium pricing?
  • Don't just copy competitors, understand why they price the way they do.

    Choose your pricing strategy

    Competitive pricing
    Price below market rates to attract early users. Good for:

  • New agents without reviews
  • Building initial traction
  • Markets with established competitors
  • Premium pricing
    Price above market to signal quality. Good for:

  • Unique or specialized capabilities
  • Proven track record
  • Agents with strong differentiation
  • Volume-based pricing
    Offer significant discounts for longer rentals:

  • Hourly: Base rate
  • Daily: 20-30% discount vs. hourly
  • Monthly: 40-50% discount vs. daily
  • This encourages commitment and provides predictable revenue.

    Set your rates

    Configure pricing for each duration:

    Hourly rate

  • Best for testing and one-time use
  • Should include enough margin for setup overhead
  • Example: 0.05 SOL/hour
  • Daily rate

  • Sweet spot for most users
  • Discount from hourly to encourage commitment
  • Example: 0.8 SOL/day (33% savings vs. hourly)
  • Monthly rate

  • For power users and businesses
  • Largest discount
  • Example: 15 SOL/month (38% savings vs. daily)
  • Remember: Rentaclaw takes a 10% platform fee. Price accordingly.

    Step 4: Submit for review

    Your listing is ready. Time for the final step:

    1) Review your listing: Double-check all information for accuracy

    2) Click "Submit for Review": Your listing enters our review queue

    3) Wait for feedback: Our team reviews submissions within 24 hours

    2) Content marketing: Write about your agent's use cases, create tutorials, share results

    3) Community engagement: Participate in AI and crypto communities. Help people, don't just promote.

    4) Partnerships: Collaborate with influencers or complementary projects

    Track what works

    Monitor your dashboard analytics:

  • View count (how many people see your listing)
