Telegram Stars — Zero Friction Payments

Every competitor uses credit cards and Stripe. We're the only OpenClaw hosting provider that accepts Telegram Stars. Pay inside the chat, no redirect, no signup form. Telegram takes 0% commission.

Official OpenClaw Team

We are OpenClaw. Not a third-party wrapper. Same-day support for new releases, deeper integrations, direct access to core developers, auto-updates on day one.

MCP Servers in Every Plan

Connect Model Context Protocol servers on any subscription. Bring your own tools and data sources without plan upgrades or add-ons.

Self-Improving, Self-Modifying

OpenClaw can refine prompts, update configs, and evolve its behaviors on request. You can ask it to improve itself and it will apply changes safely within your tenant.

Browser Control

Enable agentic workflows that can operate your browser and complete tasks end-to-end. Great for research, QA, and ops automation.

Telegram-Native Onboarding

Competitors require: website → signup → email → verify → card → wait. Our flow: open bot → /create → pick plan → pay → deployed. All inside Telegram. Zero context switching.

Multi-Channel From Day One

Deploy once, chat everywhere. Your OpenClaw instance connects to Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, iMessage, Signal, Web, and Matrix simultaneously.

Own Your Instance

ChatGPT and Gemini are shared SaaS. OpenClaw Box gives you a dedicated, isolated tenant with your own config, tools, and data controls.

Tooling Without Limits

MCP servers and custom tools are available on every plan. No paywalled integrations or enterprise-only features.

Agentic Automation

OpenClaw can control your browser and execute workflows end-to-end, not just answer chats.

Per-Tenant Isolation

Every instance runs in its own Kubernetes namespace with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage limits. Network policies prevent cross-tenant traffic. Your data never touches another user's instance.

Automatic TLS & DNS

Traefik provisions Let's Encrypt certificates automatically. Cloudflare handles DNS. Every tenant gets a subdomain (you.oclawbox.com) with HTTPS on day one.

Auto-Updates & Backups

We roll out new OpenClaw releases with canary deployments — zero downtime. Daily backups protect your data. Rollback if anything breaks.

❯ System Design

A clear view of how requests move through OpenClaw Box and where your data lives. Built for isolation, auditability, and predictable spend.

Message Handling

Telegram messages flow to OpenClaw Box, then to your isolated tenant gateway. We only store routing metadata and subscription state in the control plane.

Model Requests

Requests are proxied through LiteLLM with per-tenant API keys and spend limits. BYOK traffic goes directly to your provider.

Tenant Isolation

Each tenant runs in a dedicated Kubernetes namespace with its own volume, network policy, and resource limits.

Data Retention

Chat logs stay inside your tenant volume. Control-plane data is minimal: user ID, plan, billing, and routing records.

❯ Simple, Transparent Pricing

Pay with Telegram Stars. No credit card. No Stripe. No hidden fees. Telegram takes 0% commission.
