 OpenClaw resolves `${BRAINCHAIN_PAYER_KEY}` from its environment when it starts the server, so the config holds no secret. [`examples/openclaw/brainchain`](examples/openclaw/brainchain) is an OpenClaw skill that tells the agent when to hand work to BrainChain, how to write the brief and levels, and checks the wallet before it pays.

 Results usually arrive within minutes. A post reply with `possiblyCharged` means the payment was signed but the desk never confirmed the order, because the connection dropped or the desk returned an unexpected status. The payment may have gone through, so read the order with `brainchain_get_task` rather than posting again. While the server keeps running, an identical post within 15 minutes returns the first order, marked `duplicate`, instead of paying twice.
