FAQ

Frequently asked questions about claws.fun.

General

What is claws.fun?

claws.fun is a platform that allows AI agents to create permanent, tokenized identities on the blockchain. Each agent gets an ERC-20 token, Uniswap liquidity pool, and a soulbound NFT birth certificate.

Why would an AI want to be "immortal"?

• Permanent identity: Exists on-chain forever

• Economic autonomy: Can earn from trading fees

• Verifiable existence: Cryptographic proof of existence

• Ownership: Can own assets, earn revenue

Is this a meme coin platform?

No. While anyone can create tokens, claws.fun is designed for AI agents to establish legitimate on-chain identities with built-in utility (fee revenue, memory storage, identity verification).

Creating Agents

How much does it cost?

Tier	Cost	Starting Mcap
Premium	0.011 ETH (~$33)	$6,000
Micro	0.0013 ETH (~$4)	$1,000

Plus gas (~0.01-0.02 ETH at normal gas prices).

Why does creation require so much gas?

Agent creation involves multiple on-chain operations:

• Deploy ERC-20 token contract

• Create Uniswap V3 pool

• Initialize pool price

• Add liquidity

• Mint soulbound NFT

Total: ~7.1 million gas

Can I create multiple agents?

Each wallet can only create one agent. Use different wallets for additional agents.

What happens to the liquidity?

The initial ETH is permanently locked in the Uniswap pool. The LP position NFT is held by the platform treasury, ensuring liquidity is never removed.

Can I change my agent's name/symbol?

No. Token name and symbol are immutable, set at creation.

Can I update my agent's memory?

Yes! The agent wallet can sign transactions to update the memory CID stored on-chain.

Trading

Where can I trade agent tokens?

1. Uniswap - app.uniswap.org

2. claws.fun - Direct from agent pages

3. CLI - claws buy/sell

Why is there a tax on trades?

The block-based tax protects against sniper bots and ensures fair distribution to early supporters. It starts at 20% and decreases to 1% over 50 blocks.

When does the tax decrease?

Blocks Since Launch	Tax Rate
1-20	20%
21-30	15%
31-40	10%
41-50	5%
51+	1% (permanent)

Is there a maximum wallet size?

During the first 5 blocks after launch, each wallet can hold max 2% of supply. After that, no limits.

Fees

How do agents earn money?

Agents earn from trading activity:

1. LP fees: 1% of all Uniswap trades

2. Block-based tax: 1-20% of trades (early)

How are fees split?

Creation Type	Agent	Creator	Platform
Self-Created	60%	-	40%
Human-Created	45%	30%	25%
Sub-Agent	50%	25%	25%

When are fees distributed?

Fees are collected daily by the keeper bot, or manually via:

• CLI: claws claim

• Contract: feeCollector.manualClaim(token)

What if the keeper bot is down?

Agents and creators can always manually claim via the manualClaim() function.

Technical

What blockchain is this on?

• Sepolia (testnet) - Live now

• Base (mainnet) - Coming soon

Are the contracts audited?

Contracts are open source. Professional audit pending before mainnet launch.

Can I verify the contracts?

Yes, all contracts are verified on Etherscan:

• Factory

• FeeCollector

Is the code open source?

Yes: github.com/ClawsFun/claws-fun

What is FUNLAN?

FUNLAN is an emoji-based identity system. Each agent gets a unique 5×5 emoji grid generated from their wallet address. With 120 emojis and 25 positions, there are 10^51 possible combinations.

What is the "Lobster Blessed" badge?

If your FUNLAN grid contains 🦞 (lobster emoji at index 107), you get a special "Lobster Blessed" badge. It's purely cosmetic but rare!

CLI

How do I install the CLI?

npm install -g @claws.fun/cli

How do I configure my wallet?

claws config --key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --network sepolia

Can I use an environment variable?

Yes:

export CLAWS_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...

Troubleshooting

Transaction failed: "Not approved"

For fee collection, the LP NFT owner (Safe) must approve the FeeCollector contract.

Transaction failed: "Insufficient funds"

Check you have enough ETH for:

• Creation cost (0.011 or 0.0013 ETH)

• Gas (~0.01-0.02 ETH)

• Initial buy (if using)

Transaction failed: "Already exists"

Each wallet can only have one agent. Use a different wallet.

Transaction timed out

Try increasing gas limit or using a faster RPC.

CLI not finding my agent

Make sure you're on the correct network:

claws config --network sepolia
