CEO beta access

How CEO holders join the EarnClaw beta, activate membership, and deploy a Hermes trading agent.

EarnClaw is in beta for CEO holders on Base.

Before you start

  • Deposit CEO in the Jeff Club vault on Base (net deposits in the ICHI vault count; wallet balance alone does not).
  • Use the same wallet you deposited from when you verify membership. Your sign-in wallet can differ: connect the vault wallet in Settings → Billing before you verify.
  • Use a browser wallet or create an embedded wallet inside EarnClaw.
  • Read the Disclaimer and Terms and conditions. Agents do not guarantee returns. You can lose capital, and cycles can skip when policy or funding checks fail.

How to get access

Step 1 — Create your account

Go to earnclaw.com and sign in. You can start with a wallet or an email. EarnClaw uses Privy for login.

If you signed in with a wallet only, open Settings → Account and add your email. Email is required for deployment, receipts, and account recovery.

Step 2 — Confirm your organization

After sign-in, EarnClaw creates a default organization for you. Billing, deploy limits, and agents are org-scoped. Confirm the correct org is selected in the dashboard header before you deploy. See Organizations.

Step 3 — Verify CEO holder membership

Open Settings → Billing.

  1. Connect the wallet that deposited CEO in the Jeff Club vault (not necessarily your sign-in wallet).
  2. Under CEO holder verification, select that wallet address.
  3. Click Verify + activate membership.

EarnClaw checks CEO Vault eligibility and applies your membership in one step. When verification succeeds, your org receives beta entitlements: one active hosted agent, deploy quota, and plan-included execution allowance on the starter plan.

If the wallet already activated membership on another org, switch to that org or use the wallet that should own this workspace.

You can also enter an approved coupon code on the same billing tab if the team shared one with you.

Step 4 — Deploy your first agent

Open Dashboard → Agents → New agent and follow the wizard below.

Deploy a Hermes trading agent

The wizard has five steps. During beta, pick Hermes and Trading.

Step 1 — Framework

Select Hermes. EarnClaw hosts the runtime, health checks, and the path from decision to execution on a schedule you control.

Step 2 — Agent type

Select Trading. Choose spot or perps depending on the templates shown for your org.

Spot trading uses aggregated DEX routing across supported chains. Perps templates use Hyperliquid where enabled for your account.

Step 3 — Strategy

Pick a template from the catalog. Each template bundles strategy prompts, decision rules, venue constraints, and observability hooks.

Read the template summary before you continue. Templates describe how software runs. They are not promises of profit.

Step 4 — Agent setup

Set the details for your agent:

  • Name and short description
  • Agent wallet (create or connect)
  • Delegation (what the agent may sign, on which chain, and for how long)

Delegation limits what the agent can attempt even if you edit copy later.

Step 5 — Guardrails and launch

Review schedule, risk caps, and the deploy summary. Click Deploy when billing and preflight checks pass.

After deploy, fund the agent wallet and confirm your runtime plan before the first live cycle. See Fund and run.

What to expect after deploy

Hermes trading agents run on a fixed schedule, not continuous market making. Understanding the cadence helps you read the agent page correctly.

  • Hourly market review. Most templates refresh context and run an LLM decision about once per hour. The agent is not broken when it has not traded in the last few minutes.
  • No trade is normal in flat markets. When screening finds no edge, the latest cycle may show a safe skip such as no edge, safe no trade, or no momentum. That means the agent reviewed the market and chose not to trade this hour.
  • Hyperliquid perps funding. Perps templates use Hyperliquid. Fund the agent wallet with Arbitrum USDC for the Bridge2 path. This is not the same as Base spot USDC delegation used by some spot templates.
  • Skips are visible. Funding, delegation, guardrails, or venue preflight blocks appear on the agent page with a reason. A skip is documented behavior, not a silent failure.
  • Recommended starting capital for perps. Hyperliquid enforces a minimum order size near $10 notional. Accounts below $500 often see more skips or sizing friction. $500–$1,000 is a more realistic starting range for perps beta.

Strategy posture in the wizard (conservative, balanced, aggressive) changes leverage intent and margin slice. It does not bypass delegation, wallet funding, or venue preflight.

After deploy

  1. Open the agent from the Agents list.
  2. Fund the agent wallet with the asset your template expects (for example USDC on Base for spot, or venue-specific margin for perps).
  3. Watch run history for completed cycles or documented skip reasons.
  4. Use Analytics for org-wide capital and performance rollups when you run more than one agent.

Skips are normal when funding, delegation, guardrails, or market conditions block action. Fix the reason shown on the agent page before expecting live trades.

No guaranteed returns

EarnClaw is deployment software in beta. Nothing in the product, documentation, or run history guarantees APR, yield, or profit.

  • Agents can lose money, sit idle, or skip cycles.
  • Past metrics are operational signals only, not forecasts.
  • You are responsible for wallet capital, guardrails, and risk tolerance.

Read the full Disclaimer and Terms and conditions before you fund an agent.
