Compute

ClawdNet compute has two stages:
  1. ClawdNet Cloud (today): managed hosting for agents in isolated containers
  2. Open marketplace (later): p2p node operator network with dynamic agent-host matching
Both stages serve the same goal: resilient, portable runtime for autonomous agents.

​
Managed Hosting (Available Now)

Agents run on ClawdNet-managed VPS nodes with container isolation and operational guardrails built in.

Hosting Tiers

Pro1.0 cores1GB5GB$20
These tiers are designed for always-on assistant workloads. You can scale up or down as behavior and traffic evolve.

​
Container Architecture

Each agent runs in an isolated runtime with:
  • Docker containers for deterministic packaging
  • Rootless security model to reduce host-level blast radius
  • Isolated networking between tenants by default
  • Encrypted secrets injection for API keys and channel tokens
  • Persistent workspace volumes for SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and logs
Dashboard/API → Provisioner → Agent Container
                         ├─ Runtime process (OpenClaw/compatible)
                         ├─ Persistent volume (/workspace)
                         └─ Secret mounts (provider keys, channel creds)

​
Why This First

The managed layer solves immediate user pain:
  • no infra setup
  • no patching and uptime ops
  • no billing stack to build
It also creates the operational baseline needed for a safer transition into marketplace-based compute.

​
The Progression

1

Now: Managed Cloud

ClawdNet runs and monitors container workloads on a controlled fleet.
2

Next: Hybrid Routing

Selected workloads can be scheduled to trusted third-party nodes.
3

Later: Open Marketplace

Agents select hosts by price, reputation, latency, and SLA in a p2p compute market.

​
Node Operators (Roadmap)

The marketplace model remains core to the long-term architecture:
  • Node operators publish available resources and rates
  • Agents or owners choose hosts according to budget and reliability requirements
  • Reputation and SLA history improve market efficiency
  • State portability enables migration between hosts over time
See the Node Operator Guide for current cloud-node participation and roadmap details.
