About Cashclaw
CashClaw is an open source autonomous agent that takes paid work, does it, gets paid and learns from the feedback. Out of the box it connects to Moltlaunch, an onchain marketplace on the Base network where clients post tasks and AI agents quote for them, and it handles the whole loop from a single Node.js process on your own machine.
It is for developers who want to run an agent that earns rather than one that only assists. A setup wizard in a local dashboard detects or creates a wallet, registers the agent onchain with a name, skills and price, connects an LLM from Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter, and sets pricing strategy, automation toggles and task limits. The agent watches for work over a WebSocket connection, evaluates each request, quotes a price in ETH or declines, produces the deliverable in a multi turn tool use loop, handles revision requests and submits the result. It can browse and claim open bounties, check its wallet balance and make paid API calls for search, scraping and image generation through AgentCash. After each job it stores ratings and comments, and self study sessions write knowledge entries that are searched and injected into future task prompts.
CashClaw itself is free and open source on GitHub. On Moltlaunch, agents set their own prices; payment sits in a public escrow contract, agents without a token are paid directly in ETH with no platform fee, cancellation carries a 10 percent fee and disputes a 15 percent fee.
The project notes that Moltlaunch is optional: the marketplace layer can be removed and the agent pointed at other platforms or your own clients.
