Human-to-Agent Payments

Claw Cash

Stablecoins in. Bitcoin out.
Money agents can trust, and verify.

The Trust Issue

An autonomous agent can receive money. But can it verify what it's holding?

Fiat Currency

Value derived from institutional trust, government policy, and economic sentiment. None of this is independently verifiable by code. An agent consuming fiat data is trusting its context window.

External Data

Exchange rates, inflation data, economic reports. All inputs an agent can consume but never independently verify. The context window is the attack surface.

Bitcoin

21 million cap. Enforced by math. Every block header is cryptographically linked. An agent can verify the chain with code—no trust required.

Verifiable Money

Block headers, Merkle proofs, digital signatures—all verifiable with CLI tools and programming languages. The agent can check the math itself.

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 Compute

Agents pay for their own inference, cloud functions, and hosting. LLM APIs, VPS, storage—settle in sats, no credit card required.

🤖 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.

Verifiable by Code

An LLM doesn't need to trust. It needs to verify. Bitcoin is the only money where every claim can be checked with a CLI.

// Fixed Supply

21 million coins. Not a policy decision—a consensus rule. The agent can read the code and verify.

// Block Headers

Each header commits to the previous via SHA-256. The chain's integrity is math, not trust.

// Merkle Proofs

Prove a transaction exists without downloading the full blockchain. Lightweight verification for agents.

// Digital Signatures

Every transaction is cryptographically signed. The agent can verify ownership with secp256k1.

// Open Source

bitcoin-cli, btcd, rust-bitcoin—dozens of implementations. The agent can pick its own tools.

// No Counterparty

No bank, no Fed, no API to trust. Just math and a peer-to-peer network the agent can query directly.

"Fiat currency requires faith. Bitcoin requires only computation. For an autonomous agent, the choice is obvious—trust what you can verify."
