Your lobsters are red, but this one is blue.
Yes, it's GateClaw Blue Lobster, launched by Gate. What's the difference?
Recently, the topic of "lobsters" has become increasingly popular, with major exchanges all getting involved.
However, many people's understanding of it is still limited to tools like "AI helping you analyze charts, write strategies, and perform sentiment analysis."
Gate's GateClaw (Blue Lobster) goes beyond just tools; it directly integrates AI agents into the trading infrastructure.
It's built on the OpenClaw framework and is now free and open for one-click activation, requiring no deployment or complex configuration.
Compared to OKX, which currently only supports DEX and Wallet, GateFOR AI is more comprehensive, covering all five modules: Exchange, DEX, Wallet, News, and Info.
The two core parts of the Gate for AI architecture are:
First, the MCP protocol layer: This layer is responsible for enabling the AI agent to securely call exchange and on-chain interfaces, such as placing orders, accessing on-chain data, and viewing market data.
Second, AI... The Skills module allows for free combination and integration of transaction execution results, data analysis, strategy execution, risk control, etc., like building with Lego bricks.
When these modules are combined, a complete closed loop is formed, from data collection to strategy generation to asset management. In other words, the AI Agent doesn't just tell you "what to buy," but can directly place orders, manage portfolios, and operate your Web3 assets.
After further investigation, I found it to be truly excellent. Gate aims to promote a new trading paradigm: from "manual human trading" to "automated AI agent trading."
I've placed the positioning of the three Claws in a simple comparison table, making it easy to understand at a glance.
In layman's terms:
If you think of these three as three different tools: OpenClaw is more like a "self-assembled computer"—you can modify anything, but you still need to fix it yourself.
CryptoClaw is like adding a dedicated software suite for crypto trading to this computer.
GateClaw is more like a pre-installed cloud platform—ready to use right out of the box. AI can directly monitor the market, place orders, and manage assets for you.
The future of AI In the trading arena, there are likely two main approaches: one is open-source systems for developers, offering numerous but fragmented functionalities; the other is platform-based infrastructure that integrates AI, trading, and data into a single system. Whoever builds this underlying AI + trading platform first will have a greater chance of securing a position in the next market round. Currently, GateFOR offers comprehensive AI module coverage.
