Architecture

5 Layers. One Unified Protocol.

HydraClaw isn't just a trading bot — it's a full-stack protocol bridging Web1 through Web4 in one integrated ecosystem.

Each layer has a specific function, different target audience, and sustainable revenue model. Together, they form a mutually reinforcing flywheel.

WEB 3.0

Token & On-Chain Protocol

$HYDRA Token. Stake for Access. Earn Protocol Revenue. Govern the Swarm.

04

The native token that serves as the backbone of the protocol economy. $HYDRA isn't just a governance token — holders get access to premium features, a share of protocol revenue, and voting power to determine development direction.

Key Capabilities

Access tiers: the amount of $HYDRA held determines access level (Bronze → Diamond)

Revenue sharing: a percentage of protocol fees is distributed to stakers

Governance: proposals and voting for parameter changes, new features, and treasury allocation

Agent marketplace currency: buy/sell agent strategies using $HYDRA

Staking rewards: additional APY for those who lock $HYDRA for specific periods

05

The pinnacle of the stack — autonomous AI agents running on edge hardware. Each agent is a standalone Rust binary with an embedded ML model that can learn, adapt, and communicate with other agents for strategy coordination.

Key Capabilities

On-device inference: ML model runs locally, no API calls to cloud — zero latency

Continuous learning: agents collect data and retrain models to improve performance

Strategy marketplace: buy proven strategies from top performers, or sell your own

Swarm mesh: agents communicate via libp2p to share signals and coordinate entry/exit

Failover & redundancy: if one agent goes down, others take over — zero downtime
