Everything you need to know about DeClaw
Overview
DeClaw is a collection of 1,000 unique claw-machine robot NFTs on Solana. Each robot is programmatically generated with 8 trait categories and 65 possible variants.
What makes DeClaw special is the MPL-404 hybrid system — you can freely swap between holding the NFT or holding fungible CLAW tokens. It's like a digital claw machine where you can capture robots or release them back.

MPL-404 Explained
MPL-404 is a Metaplex protocol that creates a bridge between NFTs and fungible tokens. Think of it as a two-way portal.
🎰 Capture (Buy)
Send 1,000,000 CLAW tokens to the escrow and receive a random NFT from the collection. You never know which robot you'll get!
🔓 Release (Sell)
Send any DeClaw NFT back to the escrow and receive exactly 1,000,000 CLAW tokens. Guaranteed liquidity, no marketplace needed.
This creates a natural price floor — every NFT can always be exchanged for CLAW tokens, and CLAW can always be exchanged for an NFT.
CLAW Token
CLAW is the SPL fungible token that powers the DeClaw ecosystem.
| Token Name | CLAW |
| Decimals | 6 |
| Swap Rate | 1,000,000 CLAW = 1 NFT |
| Total Supply | 1,000,000,000 (1B) |
| Mint Address | b2kxZYNewjsogqkF8RoR5MF9SXYEfpkyMmvvXpfCLAW |
Escrow System
The escrow is a smart contract that holds all NFTs available for capture. When you release an NFT, it goes into the escrow. When you capture, it comes out.
Escrow Address

All 1,000 DeClaw robots were generated programmatically using a custom pipeline:
- Layer Generation — Create base art layers for each trait
- Trait Assignment — PRNG with seed 42069 assigns traits to each ID
- Image Composition — 8 layers composited with @napi-rs/canvas
- IPFS Upload — Images and metadata stored on IPFS
- Minting — Metaplex Core NFTs minted to escrow
🎲 Deterministic: The same seed always produces the same collection. Anyone can verify the generation was fair by running the code.
