# DragonClaw

DragonClaw is a self-hosted, open-source AI agent built for crypto-native Chinese users.

It ships with Binance trading skills from day one. It also connects to WeChat, DingTalk, Feishu, Telegram, Discord, and custom clients.

Use Chinese LLMs like DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and GLM at a fraction of the cost of many Western models.

### How it works

DragonClaw runs as a layered runtime.

1. **Client channels** receive messages from WeChat, DingTalk, Feishu, Telegram, Discord, WebSocket clients, or the CLI.
2. **Gateway layer** accepts REST and WebSocket traffic, then applies auth, rate limits, and input validation.
3. **Agent layer** selects relevant skills, retrieves memory, calls the model, and handles tool execution.
4. **Execution layer** combines skills, LLM providers, memory, and connectors to produce the final response.

### Core capabilities

* Real-time meme token tracking
* Smart money ranking and wallet analysis
* Token metadata and contract risk checks
* Binance spot trading with confirmation gates
* Persistent memory across channels and sessions
