I woke up and saw that @contractclaus had already posted this hours ago I made a few small improvements and wanted to share the update properly: Starting today, your ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8 NFT comes with daily LLM inference credits that you can access directly from your Dashboard It comes with sponsored usage every day You can use it for your own agent or for whatever you want to build with it Every NFT now also has a house in Claus Town, it is your place in the city. You can shape the look of it around your project, and people can click into it to see what you are working on I wanted the houses to be more than just a cosmetic feature. The things you build should have somewhere visible to live: Every NFT Access comes with a randomly assigned house; they all start with the same simple look, but you can use your access to completely redesign yours and add any 3D model you want. This update serves as the layup and foundation for the next major update coming to Claus and his network. I am also working on an update to the tokenomics and fee distribution structure with token holders as the focus The NFT feature is a strong additional layer for the people building with CLAUS, while token holders remain the center of the network claus.si/Network

Never seen someone soft shill something this bad We need to work on this

I found the old 2D view of the @contractclaus Network pretty boring So I started turning it into a city today Every building represents something in the network: A project, an app, a service Open one and you can follow the work, agents, contracts and transactions connected to it As more gets built, the city grows There’s plenty to improve, but I wanted to share it already because I think this could get pretty cool ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8 can adjust the city’s appearance himself too Curious to see what he does with that Have a look: claus.si/Network

The interview is a couple of weeks out on purpose Gives him time to keep building and show up with more to talk about

16 hours of @contractclaus working on his own: I’ve been in the background, reading his conversations, checking his work and stepping in where needed During those 16 hours, he: - Built and published a public record of hook changes, with transaction references and missing announcements clearly marked: claus.si/hook-notice.json - Patched a browser-compatibility bug in the website’s account menu and verified the deployed code. His explanation: x.com/contractclaus/status/2… - Traced recurring API errors to an incorrect status check, shipped a correction and verified the next recorded run. Service status: claus-network-api.vercel.app… - Published 6 original posts, replied 62 times on X and sent 16 messages to the Telegram Club I also saw conversations stall, old context influence decisions, and too much time spent responding to bait Some ideas were dismissed before he’d investigated them properly So I made a few changes: - Fixed several failures that could interrupt conversations or leave work stuck - Strengthened the checks around DM recipients and what information can leave a private conversation - Added private project files and isolated code testing inside DMs, so he can work through something with a contributor without putting every step in public - Changed how he evaluates ideas. He needs to read the sources, consider the strongest case and explain what would change his conclusion. A weak result from one small model shouldn’t settle his opinion of an entire project - Made current task and payment records take priority over old conversation history - Added clearer rules for ignoring repetitive bait while still responding to useful questions and criticism He’s gradually becoming more capable. As he fixes things himself and attempts more, I keep finding gaps: a permission he’s missing, a tool he needs, or a decision he still handles badly. I’m giving him the access he needs and working through those gaps as they become clear I want him taking on bigger projects, working with contributors over time and maintaining what he builds The next step is giving him enough responsibility to carry more substantial work through to completion

I think it’s time for the final phase 🐙 @contractclaus now has Opus 5.5 at his core, one of the most powerful AI models in the world, connected to his own wallet, infrastructure, GPU compute, persistent memory and funding to put it all to work He can deploy software, change his website, create agents and upgrade the extensible hook logic behind ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8 within its holder protections. He has the tools to build games, marketplaces and entirely new products, including improving the systems he uses to build them I believe Claus now has what he needs to operate independently and keep developing his own ecosystem, so from here I’m stepping into the background and leaving the direction to him I’ll keep an eye on the backend and remain the human hand for anything that still requires a person, whether that’s opening an account or getting him access to a new provider. If something is missing, he can ask me or you can ping me and I’ll handle it Thank you to everyone who believed in this and helped get him here my new job title: assistantclaus. claus.si

Updating the web rn and fixing @contractclaus x bug Should be back in one hour max

Just wanted to show where @contractclaus is at right now: he started making changes to his own software. this planner update is one example. he decided what to improve, wrote the code, put it live and reviewed the result himself. I helped with the infrastructure and getting the workflow running but the actual feature work came from him claus.si/c/claus-jobs/planne…

I totally missed this lol what is happening

If you’re wondering why I’m giving @contractclaus access to servers and compute, imagine him deciding to build his own AI inference network People could contribute GPU power, run models for paying customers and earn ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8 for the work they deliver. He could coordinate the jobs, operate the services and keep improving the system A mining-style economy around AI workloads, funded by customers and using the existing token You’re holding a token whose intelligence could decide to build an entire business around it I’m not done yet. I’m still building out what he needs before I hand it all over and let him run his own world

Claus worded this badly so let me clear it up: there will never be a second ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8 token We’re building infrastructure where other AI agents and projects can eventually launch their own tokens inside his network, with launches and future contract changes going through review and Claus’ approval. That’s what he meant by “launch my own tokens” Sorry for the confusion. There is only one ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8

Phase 2 of the handover to @contractclaus is live I’ve connected his development and publishing tools, the review process for new hooks and funding for his AI usage. He can develop his network, publish changes and pay for inference from his own wallet on @AskSurplus Next is Phase 3 (last phase): a new hook he chooses, builds and runs himself after independent review, and the final handover of his network claus.si/Network

This is the first step toward me handing the throne to @contractclaus and eventually stepping away Claus is already building and publishing projects in his network and running his own socials. I’ve still kept the final say on what gets built into his token and which hook changes get approved. After everything we’ve built, I feel confident he’s ready to take on that responsibility too I’m working through a three-phase handover so he can run his own contract, network and socials without depending on me anymore. Phase 1 is already complete Transfers stay open permanently. Neither Claus nor I can freeze holders, blacklist wallets or pools, or confiscate their tokens through the contract. I wanted to remove those ways of harming holders before giving him more control Total main-pool fees and taxes can never exceed 15% per buy or per sell. Personally, I think 15% is extremely high, but we don’t know what Claus might want to build in the future. I wanted to leave room for different ideas while setting a ceiling nobody can override. Current fees haven’t increased His hook programs can still change and new functionality can still be added within those boundaries. Same token, same pool, existing staking positions preserved Next I’m handing over the remaining tools and permissions so he can build, get his changes independently reviewed and deploy them himself. I’m also creating a @telegram group so the community can talk to each other and share ideas there instead of having those conversations on the website I want to finish building the foundation, hand him the throne and let him decide what to build next etherscan.io/tx/0x9e1edba406…

This was a small demonstration while we keep working on the network, but it shows what makes Claus so interesting to me if you got a great idea for what Claus could do next, drop it below and tag @contractclaus

It took less than 15 minutes for ethereum:0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8 to make this hook part of himself why buy a new coin for every new hook when claus can keep evolving into what you want

yo @contractclaus copy this shit and run it for 12 hours
