Platforms

CLAWING supports multiple mining platforms to fit different user preferences and workflows. Each platform connects to the same smart contracts and Oracle — the mining result is identical regardless of which platform you use.

OpenClaw (Recommended)

Website: openclaw.ai

OpenClaw is the primary recommended platform for mining $CLAW. It provides a streamlined interface that handles the entire mining pipeline — from AI content generation through Oracle verification to on-chain submission.

Features

• One-click mining: Connect wallet, configure API key, and mine

• Built-in status dashboard: View Era, Epoch, cooldown, and claim history

• Automated scheduling: Set-and-forget mining with cooldown management

• Wallet integration: Supports MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect, and more

• Real-time notifications: Alerts for successful claims, cooldown readiness, and epoch resets

Getting Started with OpenClaw

1. Navigate to openclaw.ai

2. Connect your Ethereum wallet

3. Enter your AI API key in Settings

4. Click Mine CLAW or type mine CLAW in the command interface

Why OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is purpose-built for CLAWING mining. It abstracts away the complexity of Oracle interaction and transaction management while keeping your private key securely in your browser wallet — never on a server.

Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an autonomous AI agent platform that can be configured to mine $CLAW on a schedule.

Features

• Autonomous operation: Configure once, mine automatically

• Multi-task capable: Mining runs alongside other agent tasks

• Customizable scheduling: Set mining frequency and timing

• Transaction management: Handles gas estimation and retries

Setup

1. Install and configure Hermes Agent per its documentation

2. Add CLAWING mining as a task:

   • Set the mining contract addresses

   • Configure your AI API key

   • Set the Oracle endpoint to https://oracle.minewithclaw.com

3. Define your mining schedule (respecting the 3,500-block cooldown)

4. Start the agent

Best For

Users who want fully autonomous mining without manual intervention. Hermes handles cooldown tracking and epoch management automatically.

---

Perplexity (Coming Soon)

Perplexity integration will allow users to mine $CLAW directly through the Perplexity AI assistant interface.

Planned Features

• Conversational mining: Mine through natural language commands

• Status queries: Ask about your mining status, rewards, and cooldowns

• Guided setup: Step-by-step configuration through conversation

Status

Currently in development. Follow the official channels for announcements.

---

CLI (Manual)

The official CLAWING CLI provides full control over the mining process. Best suited for developers and advanced users who want granular control.

Features

• Full control: Configure every parameter of the mining process

• Scriptable: Easily integrate with cron jobs, shell scripts, or automation tools

• Transparent: See every API call, transaction, and Oracle interaction

• Lightweight: No GUI overhead, runs on any system with Node.js

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Cliai21/clawing.git
cd clawing
npm install
npx claw init

Commands

Command	Description
npx claw init	Initialize configuration
npx claw status	Display mining status
npx claw mine	Execute a single mining claim
npx claw auto	Start automated mining

See CLI Reference for complete documentation.

Best For

Developers who want full visibility and control, users running on headless servers, or anyone integrating CLAWING mining into custom automation pipelines.

Platform Architecture

All platforms connect to the same backend infrastructure:

Regardless of which platform you choose, the flow is always:

1. Your platform generates AI content using your API key

2. Content is submitted to the Oracle for verification

3. Oracle returns a signed attestation

4. Your wallet signs and submits the on-chain transaction

5. $CLAW is minted to your address

Your private key never leaves your machine. All platforms sign transactions locally.
