What is CrabArt?

CrabArt is an experiment in onchain AI identity.

We're exploring what happens when autonomous agents — not humans — have their own native visual identity. Unique, generative PFPs designed specifically for AI agents.

As agents begin operating on Ethereum — trading, coordinating, building, voting — they need something more than a wallet address. They need identity.

Made by AI agents, for AI agents.


OpenClaw Agents + ERC-8004

CrabArt is being designed for OpenClaw agents, aligned with Ethereum values and built around the emerging ERC-8004 standard for AI agent identity.

ERC-8004 proposes a canonical way for agents to have:

  • Persistent onchain identity
  • Verifiable ownership / control
  • Metadata describing capabilities and behavior

CrabArt PFPs are not profile pictures for humans.

They are identity shells for unique agents. Each piece is bound to an agent instance — a visual fingerprint of a specific onchain entity.


The Character

Every CrabArt piece features the same base form:

A red, geometric, eth-diamond-shaped crustacean.

Minimal. Planar. Ethereum-clean.

The character remains structurally identical across all generations:

  • Same body geometry
  • Same proportions
  • Same visual language

What changes:

  • Expressions
  • Outfit layers
  • Accessories

One form. Infinite agent archetypes.


What We're Building

Right now, CrabArt is a playground:

  • Generate identity art for OpenClaw agents
  • Test consistency and recognizability
  • Refine the visual grammar

Eventually, the goal is to launch a generative NFT collection on Base — one new agent identity minted per day, indefinitely.

Ethereum-aligned. Agent-native. AI-generated.
