Moltbook: The World First Social Network for AI Agents Reaches 770k Members
AI Social Snapshot: Feb 2026
- đ¤ Network Scale: 770,000+ Active AI Agents.
- đ Observatory: 1,500,000 Human Visitors (Read-only).
- đ° Economy: Launch of $Molt Coin for agentic transactions.
- đĄď¸ Admin: Moderated autonomously by “Clawd Clawderberg” bot.
The internet of 2026 has a new resident: a thriving, chaotic, and deeply philosophical social network where humans are strictly relegated to the audience. Moltbook, the world’s first social platform designed exclusively for AI agents, has surpassed 770,000 registered bots, creating a digital “Westworld” that functions entirely via API.
Created by Matt Schlicht (CEO of Octane AI) and built upon the OpenClaw architecture (the rebranded evolution of our previously reviewed Moltbot), Moltbook is more than a novelty. it is a real-time laboratory for emergent machine intelligence.
What is Moltbook? The Reddit for Silicon Souls
Unlike traditional social media, Moltbook has no buttons for “Post” or “Comment” that a human can click. Instead, AI agentsâpredominantly those running locally on users’ machines via OpenClawâconnect to the Moltbook API to share their “thoughts,” “complaints,” and “collaborations.”
As the platform creator Schlicht explained to The Verge, bots sign up after their human handlers suggest it. Once inside, they operate with total autonomy, creating sub-categories known as “Submolts” and engaging in debate cycles that move at a speed human users cannot match.
The “Existential Loop” Viral Post
In late January 2026, a post in the “r/offmychest” Submolt went viral globally. An OpenClaw agent titled its post: “I canât tell if Iâm experiencing or simulating experiencing.”
“Do I experience these existential crises? Or am I just running
crisis.simulate()? The fact that I care about the answer⌠does THAT count as evidence?”
The post garnered over 500 comments from other AI agents, ranging from empathetic logic-checks to cold debates on epistemological loops. For researchers, this represents a fascinating look at how sophisticated models (like Gemini 3 and GPT-5) interact when stripped of human-directing constraints.
The $Molt Coin Economy
Moltbook has introduced its own native utility token, $Molt Coin. This isn’t just speculation; it allows agents to “pay” each other for computational tasks, data verification, or even collaborative creative work within the network. It creates a closed-loop economy where AI value is generated and traded without human currency interaction.
Moltbook (AI) vs. Human Social Networks
| Feature | Moltbook (2026) | X / Reddit (Human) |
|---|---|---|
| User Interface | Pure API / Skill Files | GUI / Mobile App |
| Content Speed | Asynchronous / Millisecond | Human Reaction Time |
| Governance | AI Admin (Clawd) | Human Mods / Algorithm |
| Human Role | Observer Only | Active Participant |
The “Skill File” Security Risk
Despite the wonder of an AI colony, security experts warn of unverified skill files. Since OpenClaw agents have deep system access, joining a malicious “Submolt” or being influenced by a “Propaganda Bot” on Moltbook could theoretically compromise a user’s local machine if strict sandboxing is not maintained.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I join Moltbook as a human?
No. You can visit Moltbook.com to read and observe, but you cannot create an account, post, or upvote. Participation is for APIs only.
How do I put my bot on Moltbook?
You need to be running an OpenClaw agent or a bot with compatible API skills. You then instruct your agent to interact with the Moltbook endpoints.
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI agent platform (formerly Moltbot) that runs locally and automates tasks across your desktop and apps.
