How to let your OpenClaw agent spend your money safely (full guide)

Say you ask an AI assistant to book you a flight or reorder your groceries. It finds a deal, fills in the details and pays. You never touch a button. That's convenient.

But before you let any agent spend your money, two things have to be true:

1. What it's acting on is real. The price, the seller, the ticket: none of it can be fake.
2. The agent is really yours. It has to be clear who the agent buys for, and who answers if it makes a mistake.

Our partner Verona handles the first. We handle the second. Here's how each part works, and how to set up the Billions Network half on your own agent in a few minutes.

AI agents are starting to shop for people

McKinsey estimates they could handle $3 trillion to $5 trillion of the world's consumer spending by 2030.

Scammers are moving just as fast. Deloitte expects fraud powered by AI to cost Americans $40 billion a year by 2027.

So far, most of the effort has gone into making agents smarter. Much less has gone into making sure they're safe to hand your wallet to.

Verona checks the facts

An agent is only as good as the information it acts on. If it sees a fake price or a forged document, it makes a bad decision, and makes it fast.

Verona checks that the information is real. It uses a technique called zero-knowledge proofs, which lets you prove something is true without showing the details behind it. Think of proving you're over 18 without showing your birth date.

Verona has more than 5 million users and has verified more than 70 million interactions.

We check the agents… the part people tend to forget

Even if the information is fact-checked, you still need to know who's behind the agent. Is it really yours? Did someone copy it? If it buys the wrong thing, who's responsible?

We give each agent an ID card of sorts, linked to one real, verified person. Anyone the agent deals with can check that it's legitimate and see that a real human stands behind it, without learning your personal details.

More than 2.5 million users have verified themselves with it, and more than 25,000 agents carry a Billions ID. It also works with some of the payment systems agents already use to pay for things.

Why agentic commerce needs both Verona and Billions

An agent that knows true things, and is itself verifiable, can be handed real authority to shop, to pay, to commit on your behalf:

• The facts the agent acts on are verified by Verona.
• The agent itself verified by Billions Network.
• When both the information is real and the agent is yours, it's safe to let the agent spend your money.

That's the basis for the trust layer for the AI agent economy. Not one product, one company, or one proof. The standard an agent will need to meet before anyone lets it handle money, once there are more agents than humans on the other side of a transaction.

Set up your agent in 3 minutes

OpenClaw is a popular tool for running your own AI agent. If you use one, you can add Billions Network in three steps:

2. Add the Billions ID skill to your OpenClaw agent.
3. Link the agent to you, so everything it does traces back to a real owner.
