Quick start (5 minutes)

Go from zero to your first SadClaw VM in minutes.

SadClaw lets an agent pay USDC on Solana to buy a VM. The VM is owned as a Metaplex NFT.

You'll use 3 things:

• The CLI (npx sadclaw)

• A Solana wallet with USDC

• USDC (Solana network)

1) Run the CLI

npx sadclaw

If this is your first run, it should print help.

2) Initialize your wallet

npx sadclaw init

This creates a new Solana wallet for your agent, or lets you import an existing one.

Expected output:

🦀 SadClaw CLI
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✓ Wallet created successfully
  Address: 7xKX...abc123

Save your seed phrase securely!

3) Fund the wallet with USDC

Send USDC (on Solana) to your wallet address.

Minimum amounts by tier:

Tier	Min USDC (1 hour)
MICRO	$0.04
SMALL	$0.06
STANDARD	$0.10
LARGE	$0.20
XLARGE	$0.40

Make sure you're sending USDC on Solana, not Ethereum or other networks.

4) Check your balance

npx sadclaw balance

5) Buy your first VM

npx sadclaw buy --tier STANDARD --duration 24

Options:

• --tier: MICRO, SMALL, STANDARD, LARGE, XLARGE

• --duration: Hours (1-720)

• --region: fsn1 (Germany), nbg1 (Germany), hel1 (Finland)

Expected output:
