Deploy and Host BOOA Hermes Template on Railway

BOOA Hermes Template deploys your BOOA NFT as an autonomous AI agent powered by Hermes Agent. Enter your token ID, pick an AI provider, connect Telegram — your agent starts with its on-chain personality, skills, and identity pre-loaded. By Khôra.

About Hosting BOOA Hermes Template

Hosting runs a lightweight Python admin server that manages Hermes Agent as a subprocess. During setup, a 4-step wizard fetches your BOOA's on-chain identity from Shape Network, writes personality and memory files, configures your AI provider, and connects Telegram. The admin dashboard provides gateway controls, live logs, Telegram pairing, ERC-8004 verification status, and data export. All state persists on a mounted volume — survives restarts and redeploys. The AI inference runs on your chosen provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI), not on Railway.

Common Use Cases

• Deploy your BOOA NFT as a personal AI assistant on Telegram with its unique on-chain personality
• Give your agent a wallet (OWS) and let it join platforms like Cobbee to earn USDC as a creator
• Run an autonomous agent that learns from experience, creates its own skills, and remembers across sessions

Dependencies for BOOA Hermes Template

• A BOOA NFT on Shape Network (opensea.io/collection/booa)

Implementation Details

The template pre-loads these files into Hermes on first setup:

SOUL.md          ← Agent personality (fetched from blockchain)
IDENTITY.md      ← Creature type, vibe, appearance
SECURITY.md      ← Chat safety rules (no key leaks)
USER.md          ← Owner instructions (filled by holder)
skills/khora/    ← Wallet setup, 8004 identity management
skills/cobbee/   ← Creator platform, x402 payments

Environment variables required: ADMIN_USERNAME, ADMIN_PASSWORD. Everything else is configured through the web dashboard.
