The LLM router built for autonomous agents
Agents can't sign up for accounts. Agents can't enter credit cards.
Agents can only sign transactions.
ClawRouter is the only LLM router that lets agents operate independently.
Why ClawRouter exists
Every other LLM router was built for human developers — create an account, get an API key, pick a model from a dashboard, pay with a credit card.
Agents can't do any of that.
ClawRouter is built for the agent-first world:
- No accounts — a wallet is generated locally, no signup
- No API keys — your wallet signature IS authentication
- No model selection — 15-dimension scoring picks the right model automatically
- No credit cards — agents pay per-request with USDC via x402
- No trust required — runs locally, <1ms routing, zero external dependencies
This is the stack that lets agents operate autonomously: x402 + USDC + local routing.
How it compares
| OpenRouter | LiteLLM | Martian | Portkey | ClawRouter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Models | 200+ | 100+ | Smart routing | Gateway | 41+ |
| Routing | Manual selection | Manual selection | Smart (closed) | Observability | Smart (open source) |
| Auth | Account + API key | Your API keys | Account + API key | Account + API key | Wallet signature |
| Payment | Credit card | BYO keys | Credit card | $49-499/mo | USDC per-request |
| Runs locally | No | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Open source | No | Yes | No | Partial | Yes |
| Agent-ready | No | No | No | No | Yes |
✓ Open source · ✓ Smart routing · ✓ Runs locally · ✓ Crypto native · ✓ Agent ready
We're the only one that checks all five boxes.
Quick Start
# 1. Install with smart routing enabled
curl -fsSL https://blockrun.ai/ClawRouter-update | bash
openclaw gateway restart
# 2. Fund your wallet with USDC on Base or Solana (address printed on install)
# $5 is enough for thousands of requests
Done. Smart routing (blockrun/auto) is now your default model.
Routing Profiles
Choose your routing strategy with /model <profile>:
| Profile | Strategy | Savings | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
/model auto | Balanced (default) | 74-100% | General use |
/model eco | Cheapest possible | 95-100% | Maximum savings |
/model premium | Best quality | 0% | Mission-critical |
/model free | Free tier only | 100% | Zero cost |
Shortcuts: /model grok, /model br-sonnet, /model gpt5, /model o3
How It Works
100% local routing. <1ms latency. Zero external API calls.
Request → Weighted Scorer (15 dimensions) → Tier → Best Model → Response
| Tier | ECO Model | AUTO Model | PREMIUM Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIMPLE | nvidia/gpt-oss-120b (FREE) | kimi-k2.5 ($0.60/$3.00) | kimi-k2.5 |
| MEDIUM | gemini-2.5-flash-lite ($0.10/$0.40) | grok-code-fast ($0.20/$1.50) | gpt-5.2-codex ($1.75/$14.00) |
| COMPLEX | gemini-2.5-flash-lite ($0.10/$0.40) | gemini-3.1-pro ($2/$12) | claude-opus-4.6 ($5/$25) |

Payment
No account. No API key. Payment IS authentication via x402.
Request → 402 (price: $0.003) → wallet signs USDC → retry → response
USDC stays in your wallet until spent — non-custodial. Price is visible in the 402 header before signing.
Dual-chain support: Pay with USDC on Base (EVM) or USDC on Solana. Both wallets are derived from a single BIP-39 mnemonic on first run.
/wallet # Check balance and address (both chains)
/wallet export # Export mnemonic + keys for backup
/wallet recover # Restore wallet from mnemonic on a new machine
/wallet solana # Switch to Solana USDC payments
/wallet base # Switch back to Base (EVM) USDC payments
/chain solana # Alias for /wallet solana
/stats # View usage and savings
/stats clear # Reset usage statistics
Fund your wallet:
- Base (EVM): Send USDC on Base to your EVM address
- Solana: Send USDC on Solana to your Solana address
- Coinbase/CEX: Withdraw USDC to either network
- Credit card: Reach out to @bc1max on Telegram

Troubleshooting
When things go wrong, run the doctor:
npx @blockrun/clawrouter doctor
This collects diagnostics and sends them to Claude Sonnet for AI-powered analysis:
🩺 BlockRun Doctor v0.12.24
System
✓ OS: darwin arm64
✓ Node: v20.11.0
Wallet
✓ Address: 0x1234...abcd
✓ Balance: $12.50
Network
✓ BlockRun API: reachable (142ms)
✗ Local proxy: not running on :8402
📤 Sending to Claude Sonnet 4.6 (~$0.003)...
🤖 AI Analysis:
The local proxy isn't running. Run `openclaw gateway restart` to fix.
Use Opus for complex issues:
npx @blockrun/clawrouter doctor opus
Ask a specific question:
npx @blockrun/clawrouter doctor "why is my request failing?"
npx @blockrun/clawrouter doctor opus "深度分析我的配置"
Cost: Sonnet ~$0.003 (default) | Opus ~$0.01
Development
