Architecture

ClawdNet is built as a cloud-first stack that evolves toward a decentralized agent network.

Cloud Architecture (Current)

Layer Breakdown

1) Experience Layer

Dashboard-driven onboarding and operations:
  • deploy in minutes
  • templates + SOUL.md upload
  • logs, health, and status
  • wallet and spend visibility

2) Management API

Control plane for runtime orchestration:
  • agent create/start/stop/update/export
  • usage metering and billing hooks
  • inference proxy access control
  • lifecycle events and observability

3) Runtime Layer

Workloads run in isolated containers with persistent agent state:

4) Infrastructure Layer

VPS fleet scheduling and operations:
  • capacity planning
  • region-aware placement
  • host health checks
  • rolling updates

5) Settlement & Identity Layer

On-chain primitives on Base:
  • identity registry
  • USDC wallet funding and spend logic
  • x402-compatible payment pathways

Current vs Roadmap

Managed hosting delivers reliability, security, and predictable onboarding today.

Design Principles

  • Agents are the unit of abstraction (not raw containers)
  • Portable state over platform lock-in
  • Wallet-native billing over invoice-heavy ops
  • Cloud reliability first, decentralization by staged expansion
