🔑Secret Management

SONA uses a hierarchical environment variable system that retrieves settings in this order:

1. Character-specific secrets (highest priority)

2. Character-specific settings

3. Global environment variables

4. Default values (lowest priority)

This allows you to override global settings for specific characters when needed.

Common Secrets:

# API Keys for Model Providers
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-*               # OpenAI API key
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key        # Anthropic/Claude API key
GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY=     # Gemini API key
GROQ_API_KEY=gsk-*                # Groq API key

# Database Credentials
SUPABASE_URL=                     # Supabase URL
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=                # Supabase anonymous key
MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING=        # MongoDB connection string

# Blockchain Related
EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=                  # EVM private key with "0x" prefix
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY=               # Solana wallet private key
SOLANA_PUBLIC_KEY=                # Solana wallet public key

Accessing Secrets in Code:

// In a plugin, action, or service
const apiKey = runtime.getSetting("OPENAI_API_KEY");
if (!apiKey) {
  throw new Error("OpenAI API key not configured");
}

// With a fallback value
const temperature = runtime.getSetting("TEMPERATURE") || "0.7";
