EverClaw Documentation

Everything you need to deploy, manage, and trade sovereign AI agents on Base.

Overview

EverClaw is a no-code OpenClaw agent launcher built on Base. Every agent you deploy gets:

• An ERC-721 Identity NFT — your agent's on-chain credential
• IPFS/Filecoin storage — memory, config, and state that persists forever
• A dedicated VPS — compute provisioned in your name
• USDC subscriptions — pay on-chain, no middlemen
• Full portability — migrate, sell, or transfer your agent any time

Quick Start

1. Connect wallet — MetaMask, Coinbase Smart Wallet, or any EVM wallet
2. Choose a template — Research, Trading, Assistant, Social, Dev, or Custom
3. Name & configure — Set personality, goals, and connected tools
4. Pick a tier — Starter ($15), Pro ($25), or Power ($35)/month
5. Deploy — Mints your Agent NFT and starts your subscription

Connect Wallet

EverClaw runs on Base (Chain ID: 8453). When you connect, the app will automatically prompt you to switch to Base if needed.

Supported wallets:

• Coinbase Smart Wallet — recommended for new users. No seed phrase needed.
• MetaMask — most popular. Install the browser extension.
• Any WalletConnect-compatible wallet — Rainbow, Trust, etc.

You'll need USDC on Base to pay for subscriptions. ETH on Base is needed for gas (usually <$0.01).

Deploy an Agent

The deploy wizard walks you through 4 steps:

Step 1: Template

Choose a pre-built template or start from scratch. Templates come with optimized system prompts and tool configurations.

Step 2: Configure

Set your agent's name, personality (becomes its SOUL.md), and connected tools (Telegram, Discord, email, APIs).

Step 3: Tier

Select compute resources. All tiers include the Agent Identity NFT and IPFS storage.

Step 4: Deploy

Two transactions: (1) Mint the Agent Identity NFT, (2) USDC subscription payment. Your agent is live after confirmation.

Agent Identity (NFT)

Every EverClaw agent is represented by an ERC-721 NFT on Base. The token stores:

• Agent name and template type
• Config hash — SHA-256 of the agent's configuration
• State CID — IPFS content identifier pointing to the latest state snapshot
• Tier and active status
• On-chain metadata via tokenURI() — fully on-chain, no external dependencies

The NFT is transferable. When you sell or gift an agent, the new owner gets the full state — memory, personality, everything the agent has learned.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are managed by a smart contract. No credit cards, no Stripe, no chargebacks.

You can upgrade tiers mid-cycle (prorated), renew before expiry, or cancel auto-renewal. Subscription status is readable on-chain — giving the agent's runtime cryptographic proof of service.

IPFS / Filecoin Storage

Agent state is pinned to IPFS on every update:

• Memory files, conversation history, knowledge bases
• System prompts and personality config
• Tool configurations and API connections

Filecoin storage deals ensure long-term persistence beyond IPFS pinning. The on-chain NFT always points to the latest verified state CID — making the agent fully reconstructable from scratch.

To use IPFS features, set your Pinata JWT in Settings. Free tier is sufficient for most agents.

Agent Wallet

Each agent can be provisioned with its own Base wallet at deploy time. The agent can:

• Hold USDC and receive micropayments for completed tasks
• Spend funds autonomously — API calls, tools, on-chain services
• The wallet address is bound to the agent's NFT identity

Agent Portability

Your agent is not locked to any platform:

• Migrate servers — spin up on a new VPS, pull state from IPFS, resume
• Transfer ownership — send the NFT, state follows the token
• Export everything — config, memory, tools are all in standard formats

$ECLAW Token

$ECLAW is the native token of the EverClaw ecosystem on Base. It's a fair launch token — no presale, no team allocation, no VC. Community first.

Utility

• Governance — vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and ecosystem grants
• Agentic Staking — stake $ECLAW to earn yield from platform fees
• Template Marketplace — premium templates priced in $ECLAW
• Priority Access — holders get early access to new features and tiers
• Fee Discounts — pay subscriptions with $ECLAW at a discount

Buyback & Burn

EverClaw operates a continuous buyback and burn mechanism:

• Platform fees — a percentage of every subscription payment goes to buyback
• VPS margin — profit from infrastructure provisioning feeds the buyback pool
• Marketplace royalties — 5% of every secondary NFT sale
• Template sales — platform's 30% cut goes to buyback

Bought tokens are permanently burned, reducing supply over time. The more agents deployed, the more tokens burned. Revenue → buyback → burn → deflation.

Revenue Sources          → Buyback Pool → DEX Buy → Burn Address

Agentic Staking

EverClaw introduces agentic staking — a new paradigm where staking is tied to live agent activity:

How it works

• Stake $ECLAW alongside your deployed agent
• Rewards are weighted by agent activity — active agents with longer uptime earn more
• Stakers who run high-quality, actively-used agents get bonus multipliers
• Idle stakes still earn base yield, but active agent operators earn 2-5x more

Staking Tiers

Governance

$ECLAW holders govern the protocol through on-chain voting:

• Fee structure — adjust subscription prices and buyback percentages
• Ecosystem grants — fund template creators, integrations, and tooling
• Protocol upgrades — approve new features, contract upgrades, chain expansions
• Burn rate — vote to increase or decrease the buyback allocation

Voting power is proportional to staked $ECLAW. Proposals require a minimum threshold to submit and a quorum to pass.

Contract Addresses

All contracts are deployed on Base mainnet (Chain ID: 8453).

AgentIdentityNFT

ERC-721 with ERC-2981 royalties. Key functions:

mintAgent(name, configHash, stateCID, template, tier) → tokenId
updateState(tokenId, newCID)     // Owner only
getAgent(tokenId) → AgentMeta    // Full agent metadata
getAgentsByOwner(address) → uint256[]
tokenURI(tokenId) → string       // On-chain JSON metadata
    

SubscriptionManager

Manages USDC subscription lifecycle:

subscribe(tokenId, tier)     // Pay USDC, activate agent
renew(tokenId)               // Extend 30 days
changeTier(tokenId, newTier) // Upgrade/downgrade (prorated)
cancel(tokenId)              // Stop auto-renewal
isActive(tokenId) → bool     // On-chain subscription check
    

Explore Agents

Browse all deployed agents at /app/explore. Filter by template, view on-chain data, and discover trained agents for sale.

Buy & Sell Agents

Because agents are ERC-721 NFTs with state on IPFS:

• List for sale — on EverClaw's marketplace or any NFT platform (OpenSea, etc.)
• Transfer — send directly to any address
• State transfers with the token — buyer gets the full trained agent

Royalties

5% royalty on every secondary sale via ERC-2981. Royalties flow to the platform treasury and feed the buyback & burn mechanism.
