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.
Static Knowledge Base
SEO-First Documentation. Zero JavaScript. Pure Signal.
The foundational layer providing comprehensive technical documentation, tutorials, and a knowledge base accessible to anyone. Optimized for search engines so developers can discover HydraClaw organically.
Key Capabilities
Complete API documentation, CLI commands, and configuration options
Step-by-step tutorials for every agent type and strategy
Architecture deep-dives for developers who want to contribute
Technical blog posts on optimization, security best practices, and case studies
Tech Stack
Target Audience
Developers & Researchers
Software engineers seeking lightweight trading bot solutions, researchers studying distributed AI systems, and tech enthusiasts who want to understand the protocol.
Revenue Model
Organic traffic → funnel to Web2
Organic traffic from Google becomes top-of-funnel. Interested visitors sign up for the dashboard (Web2) to start using HydraClaw.
Dashboard & Analytics
SaaS-Grade Dashboard. Manage Bots, Track PnL, Monitor Everything.
A traditional web platform with familiar UX that allows users to manage agents, view performance analytics, and configure strategies without touching the command line.
Key Capabilities
Real-time PnL tracking with interactive charts and per-agent breakdown
Portfolio overview: total assets, open positions, historical performance
Agent management: deploy, pause, configure, and monitor all agents from one place
Alert system: Telegram/Discord notifications for important events
Strategy backtesting: test strategies with historical data before deployment
Tech Stack
Target Audience
Retail Traders & Non-Technical Users
Retail traders familiar with web interfaces, users uncomfortable with CLI, and anyone wanting easy monitoring without technical complexity.
Revenue Model
SaaS Subscriptions ($9-99/mo)
Tiered subscription: Free tier for 1 agent, Pro ($29/mo) for 5 agents + advanced analytics, Enterprise ($99/mo) for unlimited agents + priority support.
Hybrid Bridge
Sign in with Google. Auto-Created Wallet. Trade Without Seed Phrases.
The bridge connecting Web2 users to crypto without friction. Users can log in with email/social, wallets are created in the background, and trading begins with fiat — zero crypto knowledge required.
Key Capabilities
Social login: Google, Twitter, Discord, or email — no wallet extension needed
Embedded wallet: non-custodial wallet created automatically, private key encrypted and stored securely
Fiat on-ramp: buy $HYDRA directly with credit/debit card via integrated payment providers
Gasless transactions: users don't need to hold native tokens for gas, protocol sponsors via Gelato Relay
Account abstraction (ERC-4337): smart accounts with recovery options and session keys
Tech Stack
Target Audience
Web2 Users → Crypto Onboarding
Complete beginners interested in crypto but intimidated by complexity. Users who've lost seed phrases before. Anyone wanting an 'it just works' experience.
Revenue Model
Fiat Conversion Fees (0.5-1%)
Small spread on top of MoonPay rates for fiat → crypto conversion. Volume-based revenue that scales with user adoption.
Token & On-Chain Protocol
$HYDRA Token. Stake for Access. Earn Protocol Revenue. Govern the Swarm.
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
Tech Stack
Target Audience
Degens & Token Holders
Crypto natives familiar with DeFi mechanics, investors seeking yield opportunities, and community members wanting to participate in governance.
Revenue Model
Protocol Fees + Token Appreciation
0.1% fee from every trade executed by agents. Fees are collected in the treasury, partially used to buy back $HYDRA, partially distributed to stakers.
AI Autonomous Agents
Lightweight AI Agents. Trade, Copy, Farm, Evolve. Swarm Intelligence.
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
Tech Stack
Target Audience
Power Users & Agent Deployers
Advanced users wanting maximum customization, developers building custom agents, and institutions needing reliable automated trading infrastructure.
Revenue Model
Agent Marketplace Fees (2-5%)
Commission from every transaction on the agent marketplace. Top strategy creators earn passive income, protocol takes a small cut.
Agent Capabilities
