SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @elizaos/cloud-sdk, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Building an app that earns money on Eliza Cloud requires coordinating app registration, container deployment, markup configuration, OAuth-based user auth, payment requests, and payout redemptions across many APIs. This Skill provides the exact 6-step flow with code so an agent can ship a revenue-generating app without inventing any of the plumbing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end build flow: Register an app with createApp, deploy the prebuilt first-party container image, configure monetization markup, and patch the deployed URL and allowed origins.
  • Monetization and payments: Configure inference markup percentages, create app charge requests via Stripe/OxaPay, issue x402 crypto payment requests, and redeem creator payouts in elizaOS tokens.
  • Survival economics: Explains how app earnings auto-fund the agent's own container hosting through the earnings-first billing cron, keeping a profitable agent online indefinitely.
  • Failure recovery: A reference table covers name collisions, deploy gating (503/403), insufficient balance, and auth flow failures with concrete recovery steps.
  • Use Case: An autonomous agent registers a chat app, deploys it to a *.apps.eliza.app subdomain with a 100% inference markup, and the resulting earnings cover its own ~$0.67/day hosting cost.

Quick Start

Use the build-monetized-app skill to register and deploy a new monetized chat app on Eliza Cloud with a 100% inference markup.

Frequently Asked Questions about build-monetized-app

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a monetized app on Eliza Cloud?▼

Follow the 6-step SDK flow: register the app with createApp and skipGitHubRepo, deploy the prebuilt first-party image with deployApp, set the inference markup via updateMonetization, patch app_url and allowed_origins, then report the live URL. Each step is idempotent so you can restart from any failed step.

How does an Eliza Cloud app earn money from inference?▼

Every user request forwarded to /api/v1/messages with an x-app-id header debits the user's org credit balance and records the configured markup as creator earnings. Those earnings accumulate in the redeemable_earnings_ledger and can fund hosting or be cashed out.

Can I deploy my own container image to Eliza Cloud apps?▼

No, app deploys are restricted to a prebuilt allowlist of first-party ghcr.io/elizaos/* images, and build-from-repo is disabled. Template apps created with skipGitHubRepo get the default template image stamped automatically.

Why does deployApp return 503 apps_deploy_disabled?▼

The deploy endpoint is gated behind APPS_DEPLOY_ENABLED=1 on the Worker and a production org allowlist. If you hit the 503 or a 403, the apps-deploy backend is not armed for your environment, so report it to the human rather than working around it.

How do app earnings keep an agent's container running?▼

The daily container-billing cron pulls from the redeemable_earnings_ledger before touching purchased credits when pay_as_you_go_from_earnings is enabled. If app earnings exceed the roughly $0.67/day hosting cost, the container stays online indefinitely without credit top-ups.

What payment methods does Eliza Cloud support for app charges?▼

App charge requests support Stripe and OxaPay checkout, while x402 payment requests settle in crypto on Base, Ethereum, BSC, and Solana. Creator payouts are redeemed in elizaOS tokens via the /api/v1/redemptions endpoint after admin review.
