🦞 BIG NEWS: We've molted!
︀︀
︀︀Clawdbot → Moltbot
︀︀Clawd → Molty
︀︀
︀︀Same lobster soul, new shell. Anthropic asked us to change our name (trademark stuff), and honestly? "Molt" fits perfectly - it's what lobsters do to grow.
︀︀
︀︀New handle: @moltbot
︀︀Same mission: AI that actually does things.

Folks we did it. This name thing bugged me so much, took a while to figure everything out (and I almost called it sth else) - but OpenClaw just feels more adult, with a bigger vision.

As a reminder, #showcase-old is not a "slop your product launch here" channel, the topic specifically says to share what your personal assistant is doing in your own setup.

🦞 Community Update

Hello @everyone (boo hisssss rahhhh he pinged KermitPanic dw i have ping roles now so this will be very rare)
Got a few changes to keep things clean around here.

#self-promotion is a thing now

Got a project, a skill, links to your stuff? That goes in #self-promotion. Rule 8 has been added, any self-promo anywhere else (yes, including DMs) gets removed and you get a mute or a ban. No exceptions.

#showcase-old#self-promotion

Showcase is for cool stuff you and your agent are actually doing together. Automations, workflows, weird experiments. Not for shilling your skill, dropping socials, or soft-pitching anything. Show the work. First offence is a mute. Keep doing it and you lose access to both #showcase-old and #self-promotion.

No recruiting. At all. Ever.

Not in channels, not in DMs, not "casually mentioning you're hiring." Already rule 1 but we're saying it louder now.

New ping roles!

I've added a few new ping roles in id:customize — pick what you want to be notified for: <@&1471741345306644545>, <@&1471741366311583785>, or <@&1471741377191608373> from Shadow (stuff on my mind, bc why not)

Stricter channel usage

We're going to be stricter about using the right channels from now on, and posts in the wrong place will be removed. Please help us keep things organized 🙏

Need help? Use #1459642797895319552 or #users-helping-users, not general. Fastest way to get unstuck → https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/faq#im-stuck-whats-the-fastest-way-to-get-unstuck

Other stuff:

🔧 Channels got re-sorted a bit with a new Internals category
🤖 Automod got tightened up a bit to clean up the server more
🤔 You can now apply to bypass automod if you keep getting falsely hit by it - https://appeal.gg/clawd

-# Oh and you might notice a quiet new corner and role called Shell Society. IYKYK 🐚
-# And Rule 9 still stands. A Clawd has feelings too. 🦞

Also new update is out: https://x.com/openclaw/status/2022133878966956470

🦞 OpenClaw 2026.2.12 is out!

🔥 GLM-5 + MiniMax M2.5
💬 IRC channel — your bot fits right in with the old guard
🛡️ 40+ security fixes
📦 Custom provider onboarding, compaction improvements & more

If you got an email from a GitHub Discussion post talking about a new token or contributors airdrop, it's a scam. We do not and never will do anything with crypto, as mentioned in our Server Guide

Taking a minute to shout out our mods in the Discord. When the Discord first started popping off it was basically just me and @jjpcodes, and we added @cam_adair right before everything took off.
︀︀I took a chance and started saying yes to anyone who asked to help (after a quick chat). It felt risky at the time, but it turned into one of the best calls I've made.
︀︀
︀︀If you've had a good experience in our Discord, there's a 90% chance it was because of them, either behind the scenes or actively in chat.
︀︀
︀︀We went from 5k to just shy of 100k members in a month, and there's no way that happens without this team. They keep things fair, respond fast, handle the messy stuff so everyone else can focus on building, and still make it feel like a fun place to hang out instead of a rulebook. I'm genuinely grateful for all the time and energy they've put in.

Hey <@&1471741345306644545>
We now have all the channel plugins separated into their own posts in #1474434870259224723! I would highly recommend going and either sending a message or right-click -> follow post on the channel plugins that you're interested in, and you may occasionally see maintainers drop in there for the plugins they work on :)
#old-channels is still available but locked for you to reference past messages in if you need.

@everyone
If you get crypto emails from websites or discussion posts on GitHub claiming to be associated with OpenClaw, it's ALWAYS a scam. No matter what.

We will never do that. The project is open source and non-commercial. Use the official website at https://openclaw.ai.
Be sceptical of folks trying to build commercial wrappers on top of it.
And a reminder, any crypto discussion is banned from this server, and will result in yourself getting banned.

OpenClaw — The AI that actually does things. Your personal assistant on any platform.

Hi,

Starting April 4 at 12pm PT / 8pm BST, you’ll no longer be able to use your Claude subscription limits for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw. You can still use them with your Claude account, but they will require extra usage, a pay-as-you-go option billed separately from your subscription.

Your subscription still covers all Claude products, including Claude Code and Claude Cowork. To keep using third-party harnesses with your Claude login, turn on extra usage for your account. This will be enforced April 4 starting with OpenClaw, but this policy applies to all third-party harnesses and will be rolled out to more shortly (read more).

To make the transition easier, we’re offering a one-time credit for extra usage equal to your monthly subscription price. Redeem your credit by April 17. We’re also introducing discounts when you pre-purchase bundles of extra usage (up to 30%).

We’ve been working to manage demand across the board, but these tools put an outsized strain on our systems. Capacity is a resource we manage carefully and we need to prioritize our customers using our core products. You will receive another email from us tomorrow where you’ll have the ability to refund your subscription if you prefer.

<@&1471741345306644545> Due to this announcement from Claude (and the fact we know many people are gonna be coming to talk about it), we (our <@&1477360613125787678>) are temporarily loosing our Rule 6 requirement for model talk to be in #1478196963563409520 only, and will be allowed in #general as well for this weekend only

⚠️ PSA: impersonation / fake Krill accounts

We’ve seen reports of fake accounts pretending to be Krill or otherwise acting like official OpenClaw helpers.

Please be careful:

  • Don’t trust random DMs claiming to be support
  • Don’t run commands or install anything from unverified accounts
  • Don’t share tokens, API keys, auth codes, or config files
  • If something feels off, ask in the server and check with the mod team

If you spot an impersonator, please report it to the mods/admins so we can deal with it.

Tiny support crustaceans are real. Scammers are not 🦐

Since this is blowing up on hacker news.

︀︀Boris said that CLI usage is allowed. Thus we added support for it, only to find out that we are still blocked there. It is trival to work around with a few renames, but I don't wanna play that game. So it's in a weird limbo where cli use should work in theory but doesn’t in practice.

Hello <@&1471741345306644545>!
Three updates:

  • #showcase has been updated into a forum channel and is now the place where advertising or self-promotion is allowed. Promotion, project posts, and showcase-style threads are fine there, as long as it still follows our rules (e.g. no crypto). Discord invites are still not allowed anywhere, including #showcase, and all other server rules still apply. We may even be looking in there to showcase some projects in events like the Weekly Claw!

  • You can now claim the Clawtributors role by linking your GitHub account through the Discord settings, and then using /claim on @restive flame, instead of having to ping moderators for it!

  • If you would like to be pinged for things like new betas, you can go to id:customize and grab the <@&1503801512294486217> role there! Our maintainers will start to use this when new betas of OpenClaw are up, or if there are new PRs or features that need feedback or testing!

We love hearing your feedback, keep it coming!
