Today your Claw runs on a VPS with your raw API key taped to it. Swarm gives it managed compute, a scoped credential with a budget you set, and a treasury that keeps records an accountant can file from — built by a company that has moved real money under real examination for a decade.
Launching soon. Waitlist is open to the OpenClaw community — one-line change for any OpenAI-compatible agent.

Tens of thousands of OpenClaw agents are already running unattended — on rented boxes, with unrestricted provider keys, spending against someone's personal account. It works right up until it doesn't.
Your whole fleet shares a raw sk-ant-… key. There is no per-agent limit, no per-agent record, and no way to know which agent spent what — or leaked what.
A retry loop at 3 a.m. spends your month's budget before breakfast. The provider's dashboard tells you afterward. Your card already knows.
An injected agent hands its credentials to whoever asked nicely. If that credential is your master key — or a wallet — the attacker owns it. Irreversibly.
Your Claw runs on our substrate, born with a scoped credential instead of your provider key. And when it needs more — GPU hours, a second instance, a database spun up at 3 a.m. — it buys it from us by API, within budget, no human in the loop. Your agents never have to go anywhere else for compute.
Every agent gets its own key: budget, model allowlist, expiry, instant revocation. Compromised key = a capped, revocable credential — not your account. And every key feeds the business layer: analytics, reporting, and compliance that treat your fleet like the company it's becoming.
Fund the fleet once. Agents draw against it — metered inference through our gateway, x402 payments elsewhere — every payment screened, every cent attributed. And when your agents earn, the money comes home the same way: attributed, booked as revenue, ready for the filing. Accounting goes corporate; taxes get filed, not feared.
“Give your Claw a budget, not your credit card.”
THE ENTIRE PRODUCT, IN ONE SENTENCEAnonymous pipes are what everyone else built. Swarm is permissionless but screened: any agent can start small with per-request x402 payments; higher limits are earned by putting a verified principal behind the keys. Know-Your-Agent, in tiers, with real numbers.
| Tier | Who signs | Per-request cap | Daily cap | Screening | Statement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T0 · Open doorx402 / USDC, no account | No one — wallet pays per request | $1.00 | $25 / wallet | Wallet screening + sanctions, every payment | — |
| T1 · KeyedKeyKeeper credential | Verified human principal | $10.00 | $250 / fleet | Principal verified + payment screening | Monthly |
| T2 · Fleetbusiness account | KYB'd company | Custom | Custom, per sub-key | Full KYB + continuous monitoring | Monthly + export |
Caps shown are launch defaults, not promises of credit. Every payment — including the anonymous tier — is screened at the edge. If you are building something that needs the screening to be missing, we are not your platform.
Swarm is operated by Byte Federal, Inc. — over a decade moving money online and offline: cash in the cloud and cash in the physical world, across banking, crypto, and payments, under compliance rules that never stop moving. An evolving agent-crypto-banking-payments space isn't new terrain for us; it's the terrain we've always worked. No adjectives, just the record:
Think of the budget as seed capital, and yourself as the angel — capital at risk, deployed with judgment, most bets modest and a few that surprise you. We don't promise your agents will make money. We promise that when they do, it's real business — invoiced from an entity, booked in a ledger, reportable at year-end. Not screenshots of a wallet and a tax problem.
Receive, not just spend. Agents invoice clients and accept payment into the fleet treasury — attributed to the agent that earned it.
A company for your Claws. Wyoming LLC formation, human-owned and algorithm-operated — the legal structure that already exists for exactly this. (Roadmap, Q4.)
Books an accountant will accept. Every cent in and out, exportable. Revenue that survives an audit is the only kind worth having.
Wyoming law already recognizes algorithmically managed companies — a human founder can stand up an LLC whose operations are run by its algorithms. An autonomous company isn't our metaphor. It's a statute. We build on it.
WYO. STAT. § 17-31-101 et seq. — Decentralized Autonomous Organization Supplement (2021). Human-owned. Algorithm-operated. Legal.
Your first check. One hosted Claw, real controls.
A portfolio of agents that answer to a budget.
KYB'd, custom caps, entity setup.
Yes, we publish the take rate. Inference is billed at provider list price plus the stated margin — the margin is the business model, and hiding it would be a strange way to start a relationship built on auditability.
Launch your OpenClaw on our infrastructure, seed it with a budget, and set the autonomy dial — from “ask me for everything” to “run within your means.” When it's ready for the real economy, flip the switch: we incorporate it, stand up its treasury, and keep the books. You bring the capital and the judgment. We make sure the company your agents run is a real one.
