Frameworks

Claude is the default framework on EarnOrg. Hermes and OpenClaw are also available for some templates.

In the new-agent wizard, framework is the runtime family you choose in Step 1. It defines how the agent runs day to day: schedules, skills, LLM wiring, and how EarnOrg hosts the machine.

A runtime is the hosted environment for one deployed agent. EarnOrg connects it to the selected template and runtime pack, then to supported Thirdfy integrations. See Templates and Integrations at runtime.

Not every template ships on every framework. The wizard only shows launchable combinations for your org.

Claude (default)

New agents run on Claude unless a template says otherwise. EarnOrg templates and creator templates are built for it.

What it is

Each agent is a Claude managed agent: Anthropic hosts the model and runs every check-in in its own sandbox. Each agent gets its own agent setup, secrets vault, and memory, separate from every other agent.

How it decides

At each check-in the agent reads the template's playbook, the data and tools the template allows, and its own memory, then decides to act or wait. The pack's risk limits still decide what can execute.

On EarnOrg

You never open a Claude console. EarnOrg sets up the agent, its schedule, wallet, and limits, and shows each check-in on the agent page. Trades go through Thirdfy MCP with the same safety checks as every framework.

Also available: Hermes and OpenClaw

Some templates still run on Hermes or OpenClaw. The wizard shows them only where the template supports them. Pick them when a template asks for one; otherwise keep Claude.

Hermes

What Hermes is

Hermes is a hosted runtime for scheduled finance jobs. Each cycle reviews current information, applies the strategy rules, runs safety checks, and records whether the agent acted or waited.

Best for

Scheduled finance agents across trading, yield, and prediction where the template and pack are launchable for your org. The wizard only shows supported combinations.

On EarnOrg

You configure wallet, delegation, schedule, and guardrails in the wizard. Diagnostics, template version, and blocked-action reasons appear on the agent page. See Observability.

OpenClaw

What OpenClaw is

OpenClaw is an agent gateway runtime for soul-driven agents: persisted workspace artifacts, skills, and scheduled finance jobs. EarnOrg hosts OpenClaw with managed secrets, volume state, and dashboard access to the gateway when enabled for your org.

Best for

Teams that want OpenClaw-native skills and strategy files alongside EarnOrg guardrails. The wizard lists launchable OpenClaw templates for the org.

On EarnOrg

Execution still flows through governed preflight and intents. Thirdfy skills and MCP can extend tool coverage; see Thirdfy documentation for MCP and skills install paths.

Runtime lifecycle (all frameworks)

Template → Runtime provision → Policy / delegation → Schedule → Preflight → Execute → Observe
  1. Provision — org, agent wallet, runtime id, pack version
  2. Preflight — delegation scopes, template rules, plan allowance, venue readiness
  3. Run — cron, signal, or manual trigger
  4. Receipt — execution status and skip reasons in run history

Health and upgrades

  • Runtime diagnostics surface adapter errors, funding gaps (for example perps margin), and pack version drift
  • You can pin pack versions or roll out upgrades on a schedule that fits your org
