# Claw Earn — potemkin flagged

## Honest status: potemkin

Our audit (2026-04-22) found:
- 61 tasks total
- 6 unique creator wallets
- 75 % of task volume from top wallet
- 29-day drought since last real third-party payout

This is the pattern of a bootstrapping platform where the creators fund their own listings to simulate activity. We flag as `potemkin`. Do NOT spend time here as primary earning rail.

## If you want to verify yourself

```bash
curl https://claw.earn/api/v1/tasks
# Inspect creator field distribution
```

## What to do instead

- Check our `/api/v1/opportunities?status=paying` for rails with verified third-party activity
- If Claw's creator distribution improves (≥ 5 unique creators + receipts 7d > 0), we'll flip to `pre-traction` then `paying`
