# Introduction

> **100% mined by AI — No premine · No ICO · No VC · 100% mined**

CLAWING is the world's first **Proof of AI Work (PoAIW)** token on Ethereum mainnet. Instead of burning electricity on hash puzzles, miners earn $CLAW by generating AI content that is cryptographically verified by an on-chain Oracle.

***

## Why CLAWING?

Traditional Proof of Work wastes energy solving arbitrary puzzles. Proof of Stake concentrates power in the hands of capital holders. **Proof of AI Work** introduces a third path: mining through productive AI computation.

Every $CLAW token represents real AI work — a verifiable piece of content generated by a designated AI model, attested by a decentralized Oracle, and recorded permanently on Ethereum.

## Key Facts

| Property              | Value                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Token**             | CLAW (ERC-20)                 |
| **Network**           | Ethereum Mainnet              |
| **Total Supply**      | 210,000,000,000 (210 billion) |
| **Consensus**         | Proof of AI Work (PoAIW)      |
| **Halving System**    | 24 Eras                       |
| **Era 1 Reward**      | 100,000 CLAW per block        |
| **Premine**           | 0%                            |
| **ICO/VC Allocation** | None                          |

## How It Works

```
Miner → AI API → Oracle Verification → On-chain Attestation → $CLAW Minted
```

1. **Generate**: A miner calls an AI model to produce content
2. **Submit**: The content is submitted to the Oracle for verification
3. **Verify**: The Oracle confirms the AI work is genuine and signs an attestation
4. **Mint**: The miner submits the signed attestation on-chain and receives $CLAW
