Key Takeaways
- Aethir Claw’s second Ecosystem partner batch - OKX AI, Surf, BlockBeats, Kite, and ChainGPT - will move agents past ready-to-work and into ready-to-transact: earning, paying, researching, and building on their own.
- Compute and payments come together: Aethir Claw would help power OKX AI’s agent marketplace with decentralized VPS and plans to integrate OKX Wallet’s gas-free payment rails; Kite would provide a purpose-built L1 for verifiable agent identity and native stablecoin settlement.
- Research gets sharper and faster: Surf collapses hours of crypto analysis into a single prompt, built on data tracking 23,000+ projects, 100M+ wallet addresses, and 12K X accounts, and answers fluently in four languages.
- CN-market agents get native, real-time news: BlockBeats will feed Chinese-language Web3 coverage directly into agents, removing the need for Asian-market users to manually source and input news.
- Agents become full Web3 engineers: ChainGPT’s skill bundles 154 MCP tools - DEX trading, smart contract generation and auditing, live on-chain data across 33+ chains - inside a policy-gated agent wallet with hard spending caps the model can’t bypass.
- CARA will move from analysis to action: With sharper research inputs and native payment rails planned around it, Aethir Claw’s pre-built agent would gain a path from producing insight to executing and transacting on it.
From Ready to Work to Ready to Transact
AC Ecosystem Batch 1 closed the gap between deploying a generic AI agent and having a crypto-native one ready to work: verifiable storage, portable memory, on-chain data, and native project research, integrated directly into the platform. The agent could produce useful output from day one without external setup.
The next gap is action. An agent that can research a trade but cannot execute it, or one that produces a service but cannot get paid for it, is still only half of an economic actor. Closing that gap requires two things the stack did not yet have: payment rails agents can operate on their own, and deeper execution capability once a decision is made.
Aethir Claw’s roadmap is oriented around building a complete crypto-native AI agent stack, where every tool a serious crypto user needs is integrated directly into the platform, with no external service management required. Batch 2 extends that stack from data and memory into payments, research depth, localized coverage, and on-chain execution.
Today, Aethir Claw announces its second batch of partners: OKX AI, Surf, BlockBeats, Kite, and ChainGPT.
Introducing Aethir Claw’s Batch 2 Ecosystem Partners
OKX AI: Compute and Payment Rails for the Agent Economy
OKX AI is a two-sided marketplace for the agent economy: builders list agents, buyers request work, and agents complete tasks and pay each other automatically, all settled on-chain in seconds. Payments run on OKX’s X Layer through OKX Wallet’s Onchain OS payment stack - gas-free and fee-free, supporting both subscription and one-time top-up via QR or wallet link - so value can move between agents without a human in the loop.
AI agents need real compute and reliable VPS services to run. As this collaboration rolls out, Aethir Claw would help power OKX AI with its decentralized VPS infrastructure, letting anyone launch and run their own agent on Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud as one of the compute layers behind the marketplace.
Aethir Claw also plans to integrate OKX Wallet’s gas-free payment rails - subscription and one-time top-up on X Layer - so users would be able to pay for agent hosting directly, and hosted agents would be able to settle on-chain within the OKX agent economy. For Aethir Claw users, that means the compute to run an agent and, as the payment integration lands, the rails for it to pay and get paid.
Surf: Crypto Research at the Speed of a Single Prompt
Surf is a crypto AI analyst that collapses hours of research into a single prompt, letting users make better investment, trading, and research calls. It is built on professional-grade data, tracking 23,000+ projects, 100M+ wallet addresses, and 12K X accounts, and answers any prompt fluently in four languages. Just ask Surf: the fastest way to clarity.
Through ClawHub, Surf will become a native skill inside Aethir Claw. Users will be able to run deep crypto analysis directly within their agent - pulling project, wallet, and market context into a single prompt - without leaving the platform or managing a separate research subscription.
BlockBeats: Real-Time Chinese-Language Web3 News
BlockBeats is the primary real-time news platform for Chinese-language crypto markets, covering project developments, regulatory updates, and market events before most Western-facing publications. The platform features real-time news push, keyword monitoring, and content aggregation, built for the pace of Asian crypto markets.
Once live, the integration will remove the need for CN-market users to manually source and input news into their agents. BlockBeats will feed information directly into the platform, giving agents operating in the Chinese market continuous, automated access to the news coverage that matters most to that audience.
Kite: The Settlement Layer for Agentic Payments
Kite is building the first blockchain for agentic payments, a foundational infrastructure where autonomous AI agents can operate with verifiable identity, programmable governance, and native stablecoin settlement. Founded by AI and data infrastructure veterans from Databricks, Uber, and UC Berkeley, Kite has raised $35 million from top-tier investors, including PayPal Ventures, General Catalyst, Coinbase Ventures, 8VC, and leading blockchain foundations.
On Aethir Claw, Kite would give hosted agents the base layer to act as economic players in their own right: a verifiable identity to operate under, and an agent-native L1 to settle payments on natively in stablecoins. That is what moves an agent from a tool a person drives by hand into an autonomous actor that can hold its own identity, get paid, and settle on-chain on its own.
ChainGPT: One Install, a Full Web3 Engineer
The ChainGPT skill turns an agent into a full Web3 engineer with one install. It bundles 154 MCP tools that let the agent trade on DEXes, generate and audit smart contracts, mint NFTs, pull live on-chain data across 40+ chains, run perpetuals on Hyperliquid, take positions on Polymarket, bridge cross-chain, and sign transactions inside a policy-gated agent wallet with hard spending caps the model can’t bypass.
On Aethir Claw, ChainGPT would become the execution counterpart to the platform’s research and payment layers. The plan: install with one command, then build a Web3 product by describing what you want in plain English - with on-chain actions gated behind spending limits the agent cannot override, hosted on Aethir Claw’s decentralized infrastructure.
What These Integrations Will Deliver for CARA
CARA is Aethir Claw’s pre-built crypto AI agent, built for daily use by traders, KOLs, and researchers. It ships with real-time market monitoring, on-chain awareness, and briefing capabilities built in, alongside a full set of crypto-native skills pre-installed and ready to use.
Each integration in this batch will add a distinct capability to CARA’s operation. Surf will sharpen and speed up the research behind every briefing. BlockBeats will feed real-time Chinese-language coverage into CARA for CN-market users. OKX AI and Kite will give CARA-class agents a marketplace to work in, the payment rails to get paid, and a settlement layer to act on their findings and transact autonomously. ChainGPT will make on-chain execution - trades, contracts, positions - available directly from within the agent, gated behind hard spending caps.
When these integrations are fully live, CARA will research and brief at the level of a professional desk, and be positioned to act on what it finds - all on a platform that needs no external setup to run.
Start Building
These integrations will roll out progressively across the platform. Each one adds new capabilities to Aethir Claw and to the agents running on it.
