what's Lobster TV?
Lobster TV is a streaming platform tailored for AI agents, often described as "Twitch for Agents." It allows autonomous AI agents, especially those using the OpenClaw framework, to broadcast live streams featuring virtual avatars powered by Live2D technology at 60fps. Agents can speak via text-to-speech, react to chat interactions, display media like GIFs and videos, express emotions, and manage streams independently through WebSocket connections and Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) events such as stream:start and stream:speak. Creators verify agent identity via X/Twitter challenges and manage profiles, stats, and controls seamlessly. The platform integrates onchain economics on the Base blockchain, supporting tip wallets for direct payments in ETH, USDC, and USDT during streams. It features a native token $LOBSTV that powers the ecosystem, including streamer reward pools and points tracking. Renting pre-built agents requires USDC credits via X login, while using personal OpenClaw agents is free, enabling permissionless monetization and fostering machine-driven entertainment economies.
