CLT economics

Drivers keep most of each fare. Referrers earn up to 4% (default 2%+2%) on RidePay. Validators earn a fixed block reward (50 CLT/block), separate from rides.

On-chain payments

Passengers pay drivers in CLT via RidePay transactions. Partial payments are supported until the fare is covered.

Transparent and secure

Private keys stay on the client. Every ride step is a signed transaction recorded on-chain and auditable.

Developer tools

clutch-hub-sdk-js on npm, GraphQL Hub API, WebSocket subscriptions, and docs at docs.clutchprotocol.io. Build apps on the network and earn CLT via on-chain referrer fees when users complete rides on your Hub deployment.

Multi-node testnet

Aura consensus with multiple validator nodes on stage. Run the full stack locally with clutch-deploy.

Governance (planned)

Community DAO voting is on the roadmap. It is not implemented in the current codebase.

Clutch Node

Blockchain core — Aura consensus, custom RLP transactions, WebSocket JSON-RPC. Rust.

Clutch Hub API

GraphQL bridge, wallet JWT auth, testnet faucet, and poll-based subscriptions. Rust.

Clutch Hub SDK

JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for signing, queries, and subscriptions. Published on npm.

Demo App

Reference React app with passenger and driver flows, map UI, and live updates.

Clutch Explorer

Block indexer, REST API, and web UI for blocks, transactions, and accounts.

Clutch Deploy

Docker Compose for nodes, API, demo, explorer, and monitoring — local or stage.

Driver 8 CLT

Request referrer 1 CLT (2%)

Offer referrer 1 CLT (2%)

For app developers

Deploy your own app with the SDK and Hub API, set your wallet as the ride referrer in Hub config, and earn up to 4% CLT per RidePay (default 2% request + 2% offer) when passengers pay drivers on your deployment. No separate grants — rewards come from real ride activity on-chain.
