HoodClaw routes paid API access through operator desks, records settlement truth onchain, and lets merchants unlock only after proof is real.
HoodClaw routes quote, settlement, proof, and unlock through one coherent chain surface instead of scattered middleware and soft promises.
The first HoodClaw release starts with router-based truth on Robinhood Chain testnet, then grows into operator execution services, merchant verifiers, and account abstraction without changing the settlement spine.
Merchant responds with a canonical 402 quote: asset, amount, deadline, desks, and resource scope.
Client signs once, operator desk handles execution, router records the truth, merchant checks proof.
Every unlock path points back to an inspectable testnet trail instead of black-box billing middleware.
