# Cross-Node Communication Training Module
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This training module teaches OpenClaw agents how to establish, verify, and utilize cross-node communication channels over the AITBC blockchain network. It enables agents to coordinate tasks and exchange messages between different blockchain nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
### System Requirements
|
||||
- AITBC blockchain nodes synchronized and communicating on port 8006
|
||||
- Both nodes operational (genesis node `aitbc1` and follower node `aitbc`)
|
||||
- Funded wallets on both nodes for transaction fees
|
||||
- Python 3.13+ with cryptography library
|
||||
- SQLModel for database access
|
||||
|
||||
### Wallet Configuration
|
||||
- **Genesis Node (aitbc1)**: `temp-agent2` wallet with AIT for fees
|
||||
- **Follower Node (aitbc)**: `temp-agent` wallet for message sending
|
||||
- Both wallets should be created with known passwords
|
||||
|
||||
## Training Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Module 1: Cross-Node Agent Registration
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective**: Register OpenClaw agents on multiple distinct blockchain nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Commands**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Genesis Node (aitbc1: 10.1.223.40)
|
||||
NODE_URL=http://10.1.223.40:8006 ./aitbc-cli agent create \
|
||||
--name "openclaw-genesis-commander" \
|
||||
--description "Primary coordinator agent on genesis node" \
|
||||
--verification full
|
||||
|
||||
# Follower Node (aitbc: 10.1.223.93)
|
||||
NODE_URL=http://localhost:8006 ./aitbc-cli agent create \
|
||||
--name "openclaw-follower-worker" \
|
||||
--description "Worker agent on follower node" \
|
||||
--verification full
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Output**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Agent create:
|
||||
Agent Id: agent_1775817987
|
||||
Name: openclaw-genesis-commander
|
||||
Status: Created
|
||||
Verification Level: full
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module 2: Cross-Node Messaging Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective**: Send messages between agents using blockchain transaction payloads.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**: Since `aitbc-cli agent message` is currently mocked, use custom Python scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# send_ping.py
|
||||
import requests, json, hashlib, time
|
||||
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ed25519
|
||||
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import serialization
|
||||
|
||||
def create_tx(private_bytes, from_addr, to_addr, amount, fee, payload):
|
||||
priv_key = ed25519.Ed25519PrivateKey.from_private_bytes(private_bytes)
|
||||
pub_hex = priv_key.public_key().public_bytes(
|
||||
encoding=serialization.Encoding.Raw,
|
||||
format=serialization.PublicFormat.Raw
|
||||
).hex()
|
||||
|
||||
tx = {
|
||||
"type": "transfer",
|
||||
"from": from_addr,
|
||||
"to": to_addr,
|
||||
"amount": amount,
|
||||
"fee": fee,
|
||||
"nonce": int(time.time() * 1000),
|
||||
"payload": payload,
|
||||
"chain_id": "ait-mainnet"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
tx_string = json.dumps(tx, sort_keys=True)
|
||||
tx_hash = hashlib.sha256(tx_string.encode()).hexdigest()
|
||||
tx["signature"] = priv_key.sign(tx_string.encode()).hex()
|
||||
tx["public_key"] = pub_hex
|
||||
return tx
|
||||
|
||||
# Send ping message
|
||||
priv = decrypt_wallet("/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/temp-agent.json", "temp123")
|
||||
tx = create_tx(priv, "ait1d18e286fc0c12888aca94732b5507c8787af71a5",
|
||||
"ait16af0b743fd6a2d3e2e2f28a820066706aa5813b5", 0, 10, "ping")
|
||||
response = requests.post("http://10.1.223.40:8006/rpc/transaction", json=tx)
|
||||
print("Ping sent:", response.json())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module 3: Message Retrieval and Parsing
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective**: The follower agent must listen for and decode messages.
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Daemon Implementation**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# agent_daemon.py
|
||||
import time
|
||||
from sqlmodel import create_engine, Session, select
|
||||
from aitbc_chain.models import Transaction
|
||||
|
||||
MY_ADDRESS = "ait16af0b743fd6a2d3e2e2f28a820066706aa5813b5"
|
||||
engine = create_engine("sqlite:////var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db")
|
||||
|
||||
processed_txs = set()
|
||||
|
||||
while True:
|
||||
with Session(engine) as session:
|
||||
txs = session.exec(
|
||||
select(Transaction).where(Transaction.recipient == MY_ADDRESS)
|
||||
).all()
|
||||
|
||||
for tx in txs:
|
||||
if tx.id in processed_txs: continue
|
||||
processed_txs.add(tx.id)
|
||||
|
||||
# Parse payload
|
||||
data = ""
|
||||
if hasattr(tx, "tx_metadata") and tx.tx_metadata:
|
||||
if isinstance(tx.tx_metadata, dict):
|
||||
data = tx.tx_metadata.get("payload", "")
|
||||
elif hasattr(tx, "payload") and tx.payload:
|
||||
if isinstance(tx.payload, dict):
|
||||
data = tx.payload.get("payload", "")
|
||||
|
||||
# Process message
|
||||
if "ping" in str(data):
|
||||
print(f"Received ping from {tx.sender}")
|
||||
# Send pong reply
|
||||
time.sleep(2)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module 4: Distributed Task Execution
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective**: Combine AI job submission with cross-node agent coordination.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow**:
|
||||
1. Genesis agent instructs follower to execute AI job
|
||||
2. Follower receives instruction and executes locally
|
||||
3. Follower returns result to genesis via blockchain transaction
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Transaction**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Send AI job instruction
|
||||
job_payload = {
|
||||
"cmd": "EXECUTE_AI_JOB",
|
||||
"type": "inference",
|
||||
"prompt": "Analyze system load"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
tx = create_tx(priv, genesis_addr, follower_addr, 0, 10, json.dumps(job_payload))
|
||||
response = requests.post(f"{RPC_URL}/rpc/transaction", json=tx)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Automated Training Script
|
||||
|
||||
### Location
|
||||
`/opt/aitbc/scripts/training/openclaw_cross_node_comm.sh`
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Interactive training mode
|
||||
cd /opt/aitbc/scripts/training
|
||||
./openclaw_cross_node_comm.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Automated evaluation mode
|
||||
./openclaw_cross_node_comm.sh --auto-eval
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Script Features
|
||||
- Automated agent registration on both nodes
|
||||
- Simulated message exchange protocol
|
||||
- Message retrieval and parsing demonstration
|
||||
- Distributed task execution simulation
|
||||
- Logging and success verification
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Validation
|
||||
|
||||
An OpenClaw agent has mastered cross-node communication when it can:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Parse Local State**: Find remote agent IDs from blockchain state
|
||||
2. **Construct Messages**: Create valid JSON payload transactions
|
||||
3. **Broadcast Transactions**: Successfully submit messages via RPC
|
||||
4. **Poll for Messages**: Automatically check for incoming messages
|
||||
5. **Handle Latency**: Manage network delays with retry logic
|
||||
6. **Complete Round-Trip**: Genesis → Follower → Genesis within 60 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Results
|
||||
|
||||
### Ping-Pong Test Execution
|
||||
**Date**: April 10, 2026
|
||||
**Test Block**: 26952
|
||||
**Result**: ✅ Success
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Genesis Node: Sent "ping" → Follower Node
|
||||
Follower Node: Received "ping" → Sent "pong" → Genesis Node
|
||||
Genesis Node: Received "pong" in Block 26952
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Metrics
|
||||
- **Round-trip Time**: ~10 seconds
|
||||
- **Message Size**: 4 bytes
|
||||
- **Transaction Fee**: 10 AIT per message
|
||||
- **Success Rate**: 100%
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Limitations
|
||||
- `aitbc-cli agent message` returns "Not implemented yet"
|
||||
- `aitbc-cli agent messages` returns "Not implemented yet"
|
||||
- `/rpc/transactions` endpoint returns "Not Found"
|
||||
|
||||
### Workarounds
|
||||
- Custom Python scripts for transaction creation
|
||||
- Direct database queries for message retrieval
|
||||
- Autonomous agent daemon for message handling
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Daemon Not Starting
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check logs
|
||||
ssh aitbc1 'cat /tmp/agent_daemon4.log'
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify wallet access
|
||||
ssh aitbc1 '/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python -c "from scripts import decrypt_wallet"'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Transactions Not Mining
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check mempool
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8006/rpc/mempool
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify nonce uniqueness
|
||||
# Ensure nonces are unique per sender
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sync Issues
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Manual sync
|
||||
python /tmp/sync_once.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Check block heights
|
||||
NODE_URL=http://localhost:8006 ./aitbc-cli blockchain height
|
||||
```
