AI Project OpenClaw Bans Any Mention of Cryptocurrencies on Discord
The AI project OpenClaw has imposed a strict crypto ban on its Discord server after scammers made off with millions using a fake token.
On the official Discord server of the AI project OpenClaw, Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies are strictly prohibited. As project founder Peter Steinberger confirmed on X, even the mere mention of crypto can lead to immediate exclusion [1].
The drastic measure stems from a fraud case in January. During a rebranding of the project, criminals took over former OpenClaw social media accounts and used them to promote a Solana token called $CLAWD. Within just a few hours, it reached a market capitalization of approximately 16 million US dollars [1].
After Steinberger publicly clarified that he had nothing to do with the token, its value collapsed by over 90 percent. The developer stated unequivocally that he would never launch a cryptocurrency and described such projects as fraud [1].
To excluded users, Steinberger pointed to the server rules that members agree to upon joining. These prohibit any mention of cryptocurrencies. OpenClaw, formerly known as Moltbot or Clawdbot, is an open-source, voice-controlled AI agent that can independently access websites, control APIs, and manage files [1].
