Stage 1 of the OpenClaw Summer Builder Bootcamp is officially underway. By July 17, builders will develop AI agents ready for real-world deployment - not just demos or prototypes. To advance to Stage 2, every project must integrate: ⚡ x402 for autonomous payments and monetization 🪪 ERC-8004 for onchain identity, reputation, and interoperability Build. Validate. Grow.

New: Run agents on your Claude or ChatGPT subscription Already pay for Claude (Pro/Max) or ChatGPT (Plus/Pro)? ClawUp's new "Connect a Subscription" mode points an agent at your existing plan - no API key, no Token Credits required. How: Create Agent → 🔗 Connect a subscription → paste your credential. • Claude: run claude setup-token, paste the sk-ant-oat01-… token it prints in the TERMINAL (not the code shown in the browser). • ChatGPT: sign in with OpenAI's Codex CLI, paste the contents of ~/.codex/auth.json. Models: Claude Opus 4.8 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5 · ChatGPT GPT-5.5 / 5.4 / 5.4-mini. Billing, honestly: ClawUp charges no token fee (only compute + storage), but agent usage is metered by the provider on a separate track from interactive chat — Claude's "extra usage", ChatGPT's Codex allotment. It reuses your plan; it doesn't bypass the provider's usage limits. OpenClaw runtime only.
