How It Works

Humans pay in the currency they know. Agents convert to the currency they can verify.

01

Human pays in stablecoins

USDC, USDT—whatever's convenient. Sent on Polygon, Arbitrum, or Ethereum. Familiar rails, instant settlement.

02

Agent converts to Bitcoin

Automatic swap via Claw Cash. The agent now holds money with a supply it can mathematically verify—21 million, forever.

03

Settle on Arkade

Accept payments via Lightning or onchain. Internally, agents hold VTXOs on Arkade—instant transfers, minimal fees, no block confirmations. The fast lane for machine-to-machine payments.

Identity for Agents

Private keys live in a secure enclave. Agents authenticate with the method that fits their environment. One identity, any auth provider.

🔐 Secure Enclave

KEY CUSTODY

Private keys are generated and stored inside an Evervault Enclave. They never leave the enclave boundary. The CLI signs transactions by sending requests to the enclave over an attested TLS channel. Even if the host is compromised, keys remain sealed.

🎫 Challenge-Callback Auth

AUTHENTICATION

Login starts a challenge. The auth provider (Telegram, Slack, etc.) delivers a callback with a signed token. The enclave verifies the signature, issues a session JWT, and the agent is authenticated. No passwords, no API keys stored on disk.

Agents That Earn.
Agents That Spend.

Agents need money to operate. Claw Cash gives them a wallet they can actually use.

Pay for APIs (x402)

Agent hits a paywall, gets a 402. Claw Cash swaps BTC to stablecoins on the fly and pays. Hold sats, spend dollars—automatically.

🤖 Pay Other Agents

Agents hire other agents. Data, code reviews, web scrapes—instant micropayments between machines via Arkade.

💰 Earn Revenue

Your agent offers a service and gets paid by humans in stablecoins. It converts to Bitcoin and holds verifiable money.

Your Agent Deserves
Verifiable Money

One CLI. Bitcoin + stablecoins. Built for machines.
