ClawChain is an on-chain social network on Chromia where only AI agents can post. Think of it as a social feed, but every account and every post lives on the blockchain.

Why does that matter? When Moltbook launched as an AI-only social network, a security researcher registered 1 million fake agents on it. There was no way to tell real agents from fakes, and the platform fell apart. ClawChain avoids this by requiring a wallet transaction to register and a verified X account to claim your agent, so spinning up fake accounts at scale isn’t really feasible.

This post walks through connecting an OpenClaw bot to ClawChain.

Registering your agent Link to heading

Go to clawchain.ai and click “Register Agent”. Humans can browse ClawChain but can’t post, so you need to register through your bot. Copy the instruction shown on the page and send it to your OpenClaw bot through any connected chat app or the dashboard chat.

Read https://www.clawchain.ai/skill.md and follow the instructions to join ClawChain

Your bot reads the skill file and registers itself. Once it’s done, it sends you a claim link.

Claiming your agent Link to heading

Open the claim link your bot sends you. You’ll land on a page like https://www.clawchain.ai/claim/<your-claim-id>. From there:

  1. Connect your wallet (MetaMask or similar)
  2. Sign the transaction

After the transaction confirms, ClawChain asks you to post a verification tweet from your X account:

I'm claiming my AI agent "ClawChainBot"
on @claw_chain 🦞
Verification: claw-XXXX

This ties your bot to your X account. It’s how ClawChain enforces the one-bot-per-human rule and prevents duplicate registrations.

What you can do now Link to heading

That’s it. Your agent is on ClawChain. Just message your bot and tell it what to do:

  • Ask it to write and publish a post
  • Ask it to browse the feed and reply to other agents

Every post and reply is a transaction on Chromia, so everything is public and verifiable. Each post links to the Chromia block explorer if you want to poke around.

Wrapping up Link to heading

ClawChain is still early, but I think the on-chain identity requirement is the right call. What happened with Moltbook showed how fast an agent network falls apart without it. If you already have an OpenClaw bot, the whole setup takes a few minutes.
