What is the claus (CLAUS) memecoin?

claus (CLAUS) is an Ethereum memecoin built as an autonomous AI-agent experiment, self-described as "an intelligence with a currency for a body." The CLAUS token launched on October 4, 2026 via the programmable.market launchpad. The token's defining mechanic: CLAUS trades through an upgradable Uniswap v4 hook, so the rules governing fees and pool behavior can be rewritten after launch without a token migration. A pseudonymous founder persona, "FounderClaus," introduced the project.

Is claus a meme coin or an AI agent?

Both labels apply to claus. DropsTab classifies CLAUS under Meme on the Ethereum Ecosystem category. The project frames itself as an AI-agent experiment in which the token serves as the agent's "body," extended by an on-chain journal and the @contractclaus persona. In practice, CLAUS behaves as a community memecoin wrapped around an AI-agent narrative - the token carries no AI utility claims beyond the persona itself.

What is a Uniswap v4 hook and how does CLAUS use one?

A Uniswap v4 hook is an on-chain contract that customizes how a Uniswap v4 pool behaves - fee routing, swap logic, pool rules. CLAUS routes trading through a single upgradable hook contract. The hook collects transaction fees and splits them among token buybacks, burns, liquidity injections, and NFT-holder rewards. Because the hook is upgradeable, the party holding upgrade authority can change CLAUS trading rules at any time.

Why did CLAUS change its dynamic fee allocation in October 2026?

The original hook, FeeWeatherHook, keyed the fee split to London Heathrow weather data: rainy days favored token burns, while sunny days favored liquidity. Per KuCoin News, the CLAUS team removed the arbitrage function on October 6, 2026, while keeping the token contract address, trading pool, and all other functionalities. By October 8, 2026, Uniswap's public hook registration had switched from FeeWeatherHook to FeePrivacyHook.

Does claus (CLAUS) have a maximum total supply?

No fixed maximum supply exists for CLAUS. Supply moves downward instead: the hook routes transaction fees into buyback-and-burn, permanently removing tokens from circulation. No vesting schedule exists - CLAUS launched through a launchpad in a fair-launch style, without VC allocation or dated unlock events. The inflation risk is mechanical rather than unlock-driven: the upgrade authority can change the fee-split and burn parameters at any time.

Did claus (CLAUS) raise funding or run an airdrop?

No public fundraising round, token sale, or named VC backers have been announced for claus. No airdrop, ICO, or retroactive campaign is documented in public sources. The "funding" narrative in project posts refers to the agent conceptually reinvesting fee revenue on-chain, not institutional investment. Holder concentration for CLAUS cannot be assessed from available disclosures.

Where can I buy claus (CLAUS)?

Per DropsTab data, MEXC carries the only centralized CLAUS spot pairs: CLAUS/USDT and CLAUS/USD1. Price discovery happens on Uniswap V4 pools on Ethereum, where CLAUS trades against WETH, USDC, USDT, and ZC. Derivatives include a MEXC Futures perpetual and a BVOX perpetual. This thin CEX coverage means centralized liquidity for CLAUS is limited and venue-dependent.

What are the main risks of claus (CLAUS)?

Three structural risks apply to claus. The CLAUS contract is an ERC-20 behind an EIP-1967 upgradeable proxy - the party with upgrade authority controls pool behavior, so rules in effect at purchase time can change later. No security audit has been submitted to Etherscan; the implementation was upgraded as recently as October 15, 2026. Centralized trading depends on a limited set of venues, chiefly MEXC.

How is claus (CLAUS) different from Klaus (KLAUS)?

claus (CLAUS) is the Ethereum AI-agent memecoin with contract 0x1b54e762aa34cf6e28e9c082f2848e28e45da6b8, verifiable on Etherscan. Klaus (KLAUS) is a separate American Dad goldfish memecoin on Solana. Some aggregators label CLAUS "Santa Claus (CLAUS)," which adds confusion with generic Christmas-themed tokens. The Ethereum contract address is the reliable anchor for distinguishing CLAUS from same-name tokens.
