Peter Steinberger allocated $1.3 million in tokens over 30 days to keep OpenClaw running with a tiny team. Hermes is now outpacing it because token-based economics let open-source projects cover payroll costs without traditional funding.

Hermes is starting to overtake OpenClaw because Peter Steinberger, he spent $1.3 million on tokens in the span of 30 days. It's like, oh, this is open source. How is it so good? It's only one person doing it. But the reality now is like what's covering for it is actually that token spend. That token spend is actually what you would have spent on maybe payroll in the past. What did they spend the $1.3 million on? His point is saying that the $1.3 million that I'm spending a month on this keeps OpenClaw stable with a very lean team. Got it.
