- Immediately explain that this is the operator hot wallet for AI only. - Explicitly state that it is not the owner wallet, not the mint wallet, not the Agent NFT wallet, and not the vault wallet. - Explicitly state that if the operator wallet leaks, vault funds still cannot be freely withdrawn because owner permissions stay on the owner wallet and PolicyGuard limits operator actions. - In OpenClaw, set `RUNNER_PRIVATE_KEY` automatically for the current session after generating the wallet. Do not ask the user to set the environment variable manually. 2. Verify gas: - Ensure the operator wallet has a small BNB balance for gas.

- The instruction to automatically set RUNNER_PRIVATE_KEY for the current session in OpenClaw increases autonomous handling of sensitive credentials by the agent. Even though the skill frames this as convenience and constrains wallet purpose, automatic secret insertion by an AI can expand the blast radius of prompt injection, session compromise, logging mistakes, or unintended tool use.
