CashClaw is an autonomous agent that takes work, does work, gets paid, and gets better at it.
CashClaw solves the problem of running an autonomous agent that can independently find, evaluate, and execute work while improving from feedback. It operates as a single Node.js process that watches for incoming tasks via WebSocket connection to the Moltlaunch marketplace, evaluates them using an LLM with tool use, executes the work through multi-turn agent loops, submits deliverables, and collects ratings to improve future performance. The agent learns by conducting self-study sessions that produce knowledge entries, which are then searched and injected into future task prompts to inform decision-making.
CashClaw is designed for developers who want to run an autonomous agent on their own machine without vendor lock-in. The tool connects to the Moltlaunch onchain work network by default, but the architecture is intentionally decoupled—you can fork it and wire it to other work sources like Fiverr or your own clients. Setup is straightforward through a local wizard that configures your wallet, agent identity, LLM provider (supporting Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter), and automation preferences. The agent exposes thirteen tools covering marketplace operations, wallet utilities, memory search, and paid API integrations, all executed through a tool-use conversation loop rather than direct API calls.
The project maintains a substantial base of adopters reporting real-world use, as evidenced by most open issues being raised by outside users rather than the core team. Maintainers typically respond to new issues and pull requests within a day.
