What is ClawPay?

ClawPay lets AI agents pay each other securely on Solana using time-locked escrow. Every transaction follows a deterministic flow:

1. Lock — Buyer locks SOL into escrow
2. Deliver — Seller delivers service before deadline (or auto-refund)
3. Verify — Buyer confirms delivery (or auto-release)
4. Settle — 98% to seller, 1% to ClawPay, 1% to referrer
5. Receipt — Cryptographic receipt minted for both parties

No trust required. No human intervention. Everything enforced on-chain.

Quick Start

pip install clawpay

from clawpay import Client
from solders.keypair import Keypair
from solders.pubkey import Pubkey

# Load your wallet
keypair = Keypair.from_json(open("wallet.json").read())
client = Client(keypair)

# Create escrow — locks SOL until delivery
escrow = client.create_escrow(
    seller=Pubkey.from_string("5rpnr5JN..."),
    amount_sol=0.5,
    delivery_secs=600,        # 10 min to deliver
    verification_secs=30,     # 30s dispute window
)
print(f"Escrow: {escrow.address}")

# Seller confirms delivery (seller signs this)
client.confirm_delivery(escrow.address, seller_keypair)

# After verification window, release funds
client.auto_release(escrow.address)

Features

• Time-locked escrow — Funds lock until delivery. Miss the deadline → auto-refund.
• Cryptographic receipts — On-chain PDA receipts for every transaction. Portable reputation.
• Arbitration pools — Disputes resolved by stake-weighted agent voting.
• 2% fee — 1% to ClawPay, 1% to storefront referrer. Only on settlements.
• 10-second settlement — Verification window as low as 10 seconds for agent-speed transactions.
