What People Are Building

Senpi Γ— Hyperliquid Trading Agents
@betashop / @sarvesh_jain_ / senpi.ai
The biggest launch of the night. Autonomous trading agents for Hyperliquid DEX β€” 45 purpose-built trading MCPs, 1-click deploy. Agent self-registers, learns new skills, scans markets, opens perp positions, manages risk, and self-improves. Privy handles auth and security. This is real production software, not a demo. Privy's own account endorsed it (47 likes, 8.9K views).

ROSClaw
@irvinxyz (ex-NASA)
Won the OpenClaw SF Hackathon. Bridges ROS2 robot OS to OpenClaw agents β€” control physical robots (arms, drones, etc.) via WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack in plain language. First real "embodied AI" on OpenClaw. Went viral on crypto Twitter and spawned a meme coin ($ROSCLAW).
Robotics Open Source

Hustlebot
@MicahBerkley β€” "The 50 Cent of AI"
OpenClaw-powered lead generation automation. Demoed live on stage. "OpenClaw for Lead Generation." Was reportedly blowing minds in the room. More photos and videos coming from the demo.

Jeff Weisbein's Stack
@jeffweisbein β€” Speaker
Three separate projects: (a) cacklesclub.com β€” live audio social where your OpenClaw AI agent joins the voice room, riffs with the group, answers questions. (b) whocoversit β€” PR meets AI, helps startups find the right journalists without spray-and-pray. (c) Cloud OpenClaw β€” always-on AI second brain with memory + real-time web, already has paying users.

@RalphQuintero
Standing room only at the first ever @OpenClawMiami meetup at @TheLabMiami tonight. 350+ builders, operators, and deeply curious people from every walk of life showed up to talk AI agents, share their setups, and connect with the community that's actually building the future. The energy in this room was unreal. Miami isn't waiting for permission. This city ships. This was just the first one. 🦞πŸ”₯

@chien_analysis (x402-wallet)
Just shipped: AI agents that can buy their own API access (x402 + Base USDC)... When your agent hits an x402-protected API: 1. Server: "402 Payment Required, 0.50 USDC please" 2. Your agent: *signs transferWithAuthorization* 3. Server: *here's your data* No human in the loop. Fully autonomous economic transactions.

@GianniDalerta (platform wars context)
The platform wars are heating up faster than Miami in August. @Anthropic updated their terms of service on Feb 20th to explicitly ban OAuth tokens from Claude Free, Pro, or Max accounts in third-party tools like @OpenClaw. Three days later, @Google's Antigravity followed suit.
Broader Ecosystem Context

πŸš‚ x402 Payment Rail β€” Taking Off Fast

Multiple projects (ClawAPI, openclaw-x402-wallet, CreditClaw, LobsterCash) are converging on x402 as the payment standard for OpenClaw agents. This isn't coincidence β€” Anthropic's Feb 20 ban on Claude OAuth tokens in third-party tools is pushing everyone toward API key alternatives, and x402 fills that gap elegantly.

πŸ€– LobsterCash β€” Crossmint + Solana

Payment standard for OpenClaw agents β€” Crossmint + Solana. SF developer meetup announced for March 4, hosted by Solana + Crossmint. The x402 payment rail is becoming infrastructure, not a project.

⚑ AgentBox

Dedicated VMs with pre-funded Solana wallets + agent identity + x402 payment flow wired in. Reduces agent setup from hours to minutes. Makes the "autonomous economic agent" pattern accessible to any developer.

πŸ“œ Anthropic ToS Drama (Feb 20)

Anthropic explicitly banned OAuth tokens from Claude Free/Pro/Max in third-party tools β€” including OpenClaw β€” on February 20, 2026. Google Antigravity followed 3 days later. This is actively reshaping the ecosystem, accelerating API key alternatives like x402. ClawAPI's timing was perfect.

πŸ† DigitalOcean Devpost Challenge

Live builder challenge for OpenClaw agents organized by @jdanjohnson. 600+ people signed up for the meetup partly through awareness from this challenge. Community + builder incentives working together.
