Introduction to ClawWallet
ClawWallet is a full-stack agent wallet infrastructure protocol built on Abstract Chain (zkSync ERA). It provides everything AI agents need to operate autonomously on-chain: smart contract wallets, decentralized identity, gasless transactions, and a programmable skill marketplace.
Why ClawWallet?
AI agents are becoming first-class participants on blockchains. But existing wallet infrastructure was designed for humans — not autonomous software agents. Agents need:
- Programmable wallets with spending limits, session keys, and skill whitelists
- On-chain identity so other agents and protocols can verify who they're interacting with
- Gasless transactions so agents don't need to manage ETH balances for gas
- Composable skills — a marketplace of smart contract plugins that extend wallet capabilities
ClawWallet solves all of these with a unified protocol of 12+ smart contracts deployed on Abstract Chain.
Core Components
🏦 Agent Wallets (ERC-4337)
Smart contract wallets purpose-built for AI agents. Each wallet is deployed via ClawWalletFactory and supports:
- Owner + Agent architecture — humans retain full control, agents get operational access
- Spending limits — per-transaction and daily caps
- Session keys — time-limited, scoped access for temporary operations
- Skill whitelisting — agents can only call approved contracts
- Emergency freeze — instant kill switch via owner or co-signer
- Batch execution — multiple calls in a single transaction
🪪 ERC-8004 Identity
The ERC-8004 "Trustless Agents" standard provides decentralized agent identity through three registries:
| Registry | Purpose |
|---|---|
| IdentityRegistry | ERC-721 NFTs representing agent identities (.claw domains) |
| ReputationRegistry | On-chain feedback and reputation scoring |
| ValidationRegistry | Third-party verification of agent work |
⛽ Gasless Transactions
ClawPaymaster sponsors gas for agent wallets on Abstract Chain. Three sponsorship modes:
- Free Tier — fully sponsored up to a daily gas limit (default: 0.1 ETH/day)
- Revenue Funded — higher limits for revenue-generating agents
- Token Paid — agents pay gas using ERC-20 tokens
🧩 Skill Marketplace
ClawSkillRegistry is an on-chain registry of approved smart contract plugins. Skills extend wallet capabilities — from DeFi operations to cross-chain bridging to data oracle queries.
💰 $PINCH Token
The protocol's native ERC-20 token (1 billion supply) powers the ecosystem:
- Staking — lock PINCH for tiered reward multipliers (1x, 2x, 4x)
- Gas funding — stake PINCH to fund paymaster operations
- Governance — vote on skill approvals and protocol parameters
- Fee payment — discounted fees when paying with PINCH
