The movement #ClawdbotSaysNoToken arose as a direct response to a misunderstanding that circulated on social media and in the crypto market: the idea that the Clawdbot project would be launching its own token. In practice, this does not officially exist. The founder of the project, Peter Steinberger, made it clear that Clawdbot — a personal, open-source, self-hosted AI assistant — has never issued, planned, or endorsed any cryptocurrency token. What happened was the appearance of fake tokens and financial memes using the name and the hype surrounding the tool, attracting unsuspecting speculators and investors, which led to speculative fluctuations before they drastically melted down.
The hashtag is, therefore, a statement of transparency and warning: the developers want to distance the software from scams, clarify that the project is software, not a financial asset, and protect users from frauds that use the name to promote non-existent tokens. This is especially important because Clawdbot went viral for its advanced automation capabilities and integration with apps like WhatsApp and Discord.
This hashtag is a community and anti-fraud campaign to disassociate the project from fake tokens, educate about the risks of scams, and preserve the credibility of a powerful, useful, and legitimate AI tool.
