Introducing CLAW Trade Credits

‍TLDR
‍The Eagle AI token has always needed a stronger connection to real trading activity inside CLAW. CLAW Trade Credits (CTC) solve that by giving $EAI a direct purpose. You buy CTC using $EAI. You spend CTC every time you copy a trader or use an automated model. When you run out, you top up with more $EAI.
‍
Every membership plan gets a monthly allowance of CTC with it. These credits act as a fair-usage pool for the month, and they include full access to all indicators and standard trading tools. Higher membership plans receive more CTC and pay less when buying extra.

On top of this you can purchase more CTC should you use up all of the free allowance. A discount is applied when purchasing CTC depending on how much $EAI you hold. The more $EAI you hold the bigger the discount.

CTC sits at the centre of the system. Your membership supplies a base amount of credits. Your $EAI balance lets you buy more whenever you want to automate serious volume. As trading activity rises, demand for the token rises with it.

This is the connection the token has been missing. Now it’s tied directly to trading behaviour, membership benefits and real usage inside CLAW.

For a long time, the biggest question around the Eagle AI token has been the same. What does it actually do for you inside CLAW? Many of you hold $EAI, some of you trade it, and others wait for staking rewards to return. But the link between the token and the product has always felt weaker than it should be. You could trade on CLAW without holding $EAI. You could benefit from the tools without ever touching the token. That created a gap in the system and it showed.

Introducing CLAW Trade Credits

So we’re fixing that gap with something new. CLAW Trade Credits, or CTC. A credit system that you buy using $EAI. A credit system that you spend on the automated features inside CLAW that you already know are powerful. CTC creates a direct path between the token and real trading activity. It also gives you a clearer reason to buy $EAI and a more obvious way to use it.

CTC is simple on purpose. You buy credits with $EAI. Your balance updates. You spend those credits every time you place a copy trade or run an automated trade with one of our models. When you run out, you top up. Nothing complicated and nothing hidden. You use the token to power the features. That connection has been missing and it’s time we fix it.

Why We’re Introducing CTC

One mistake we made in the past was assuming staking and competitions would carry the token story. They helped a bit but they didn’t explain why the token matters inside CLAW. They didn’t help new users understand why holding $EAI benefits them. They didn’t create consistent demand over time. CTC changes that. It ties your trading activity to the token in a direct way. When you value the tools, you value the token.

• If you want to copy a trader ranked in the top categories, you spend CTC (CTC cost varies depending on the level of the trader you are copying).
• If you want to automate BreakoutBot or other models, you spend CTC (CTC cost varies depending on the power of the model).
• You get a portfolio of automated trades and CTC becomes part of the cost of running those trades, while you get to sit back and relax.

Your CLAW membership plan gives you a free monthly allowance of CTC. These credits sit inside your account, and at the start of each month you get more free CTC added. Each membership plan receives a different amount. This makes your membership meaningful because it lowers the real cost of automated trading.

On top of this you can purchase more CTC should you use up all of the free allowance. A discount is applied when purchasing CTC depending on how much $EAI you hold. The more $EAI you hold the bigger the discount. It also means holding more $EAI gives you access to bigger discounts when you buy more CTC.

You get full control over how fast you spend it. You can save it for bigger moves or burn through it in a single active week.

Pricing and Token Impact

You may wonder what this does to the value of EAI?

It creates steady buy pressure instead of temporary spikes. If you want to keep using copy trading, you buy $EAI to top up your CTC. If CLAW keeps improving, demand grows. If more traders join and more features arrive, demand grows again. And as the platform expands, usage expands with it. You end up with a system that ties product growth directly to $EAI token demand.

We’ve kept pricing flexible because token markets move. Some projects pick a fixed conversion and hope it works forever. That approach breaks as prices shift. So instead, CTC stays roughly aligned with a dollar value that we have calculated. The number of $EAI needed to buy CTC updates as the price moves. This gives you predictable usage while still driving demand for the token. You won’t wake up one morning and find copy trading suddenly costs five times more. You also won’t see the tools become meaningless because the token dipped. The system stays steady.

Holding $EAI still matters. Your membership tier gives you free monthly CTC. The higher your tier, the more you get for free each month. We’ve also added tier-based discounts when you buy CTC. The more $EAI you hold, the cheaper it is to buy credits. This creates a clear reason to move up the tiers beyond bragging rights.

CTC also strengthens the competitive environment for Pro Traders. Copying a Diamond-level trader will cost more than copying someone lower on the leaderboard. Their ranking will update based on performance over 7, 14 and 30 day periods. You’ll choose who you copy based on results, not marketing. As traders compete for ranking, the ecosystem improves. You get better signals and they get more followers, which in turn drives more CTC usage, which in turn means they get bigger commissions.

A Simple Example

A simple example shows the whole system (values used are an example):

1. You see a Diamond Pro Trader who has been performing well over the last month.
2. You decide you want to copy their next trade.
3. The platform tells you it costs 10 CTC.
4. You check your balance and you only have 5 CTC left.
5. You go to your account.
6. You buy a 500 CTC package.
7. It shows the current amount of $EAI required.
8. You send the EAI.
9. Your CTC balance updates.
10. You activate the copy trade.
11. CLAW deducts 10 credits.
12. You carry on.
13. Later you return to see a successful copy trade.
14. You profit!

When you start using more features, you buy more CTC. And every time you do, you buy $EAI.

This solves the token utility gap without adding friction for users. You won’t feel like you’re being forced into anything. You’re choosing to spend credits because the tools give you value. That’s the difference. Tokens fail when they are added as decoration. They work when they sit at the heart of the product and power something you want to use every day.

So How Much and When?

We’re starting cheap so you can experiment without committing too much at the start. As the token grows and as CLAW brings more features to the market, the CTC structure will adapt. Nothing is locked forever. We’ll continue adjusting the conversion rate by hand at first. This lets us watch how the community reacts. Later we may automate it to keep things smooth. The goal is to keep the system fair, predictable and linked directly to real trading behaviour.

CTC is built to support the strongest parts of CLAW without creating a confusing token loop. It gives copy trading a simple cost structure. It makes holding $EAI feel meaningful. It builds tangible value for tier holders. And it helps the product scale without creating unnecessary barriers.

We’ll share release dates, calculators and more details soon so you can get familiar with the numbers. For now, the most important thing is the principle behind it.

Trading takes energy. CTC is that energy. $EAI is how you get it.
