Your Personal Crypto AI Agent — Self-hosted, Multi-chain, Multi-channel
CryptoClaw is a self-hosted cryptocurrency AI assistant that runs on your own devices. It manages encrypted wallets, executes DEX swaps, tracks portfolios, and provides on-chain agent identity via the ERC-8004 Trustless Agents standard — all with enterprise-grade key security.
Built on a multi-channel messaging platform, CryptoClaw answers on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, and more. It speaks and listens on macOS/iOS/Android, and renders a live Canvas you control.
Fork Notice: CryptoClaw is forked from OpenClaw (formerly an open-source multi-channel AI assistant). We’ve extended it with a full blockchain stack — wallets, DeFi tooling, on-chain identity, and transaction security — to create a purpose-built crypto agent.
- Multi-chain Wallets — Create, import, and manage AES-256-GCM encrypted wallets across 16+ EVM networks
- DEX Swaps — Automated quoting and execution on Uniswap V2+V3, PancakeSwap V2+V3, QuickSwap
- Token & NFT Tools — ERC-20 transfers, approvals, NFT operations, arbitrary contract reads/writes
- ERC-8004 Agent Identity — On-chain identity as ERC-721 NFTs with decentralized reputation tracking
- 5-Layer Key Guard — Private keys never leak to AI context, chat history, or messaging channels
- Spending Limits — Per-transaction and daily USD caps with mandatory confirmation hooks
- Multi-channel Inbox — WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Nostr, WebChat
- Voice Wake + Talk — Hands-free interaction on macOS, iOS, and Android
- Skills Platform — Extensible tools for market data, portfolio tracking, and custom workflows
- Local-first Architecture — Your keys, your data, your machine. Nothing leaves your device unless you say so.
Requirements: Node.js 22+
# Install globally
npm install -g @termix-it/cryptoclaw@latest
# Run the onboarding wizard
cryptoclaw onboard --install-daemon
The wizard walks you through:
- Gateway setup (local or remote)
- LLM provider auth (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.)
- Channel connections (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.)
- Skill installation
- Wallet creation — create or import your first crypto wallet
# Create a new wallet
cryptoclaw wallet create --label "Trading"
# Import an existing wallet
cryptoclaw wallet import --label "DeFi"
# List wallets
cryptoclaw wallet list
# CLI chat mode
cryptoclaw
# Example prompts:
# "What's my BNB balance?"
# "Swap 0.1 BNB for USDC on BSC"
# "Register my agent on Ethereum"
# "Show my portfolio"

CryptoClaw implements defense-in-depth for private key protection:
Layer 1: Tool Design — import/export are CLI-only, never exposed as agent tools
Layer 2: Parameter Guard — passphrases & keys stripped from tool call parameters
Layer 3: Result Sanitize — all tool results scrubbed before session transcript persistence
Layer 4: Outbound Sanitize — messages to channels scrubbed before sending
Layer 5: System Prompt — agent instructed to never handle or output private keys
- Algorithm: AES-256-GCM with scrypt key derivation function
- Keystore permissions:
0600(owner read/write only) - Passphrase caching: Configurable TTL, auto-expires from memory
- Wallet storage:
~/.cryptoclaw/wallets/(encrypted keystore + metadata)
- Per-transaction maximum: $1,000 USD (configurable)
- Daily limit: $5,000 USD (configurable)
- Confirmation required: All state-changing operations (transfers, swaps, approvals) require explicit user confirmation via
before_tool_callhook
token_transfer, token_approve, nft_transfer, execute_swap, deploy_contract, write_contract, agent_register, agent_set_wallet
CryptoClaw supports the ERC-8004 Trustless Agents standard for on-chain AI agent identity:
- Register your agent as an ERC-721 NFT on any supported chain
- Set a wallet for your agent via EIP-712 signed messages
- Build reputation through on-chain feedback from users and other agents
- Query identity — look up any agent’s metadata, wallet, and reputation score
- Deployed across 18 chains (10 mainnet + 8 testnet)
