Yes. OpenClaw(Moltbot/Clawdbot), Moltbot, and Clawdbot are different names for the same project across its history. Clawdbot was the original name, Moltbot was an intermediate rebrand, and OpenClaw is the current official name. These are not separate products; they represent branding changes over time.
The confusion usually comes from legacy documentation, package names, or CLI commands that still reference older names. In some setups, you may still encounter binaries or configuration paths that include “clawdbot,” even though the project branding and documentation now say OpenClaw(Moltbot/Clawdbot). This is common in fast-moving open-source projects where renaming a repository is easier than immediately updating every downstream artifact.
From an implementation standpoint, developers should treat Clawdbot as a legacy label. Pin your deployments to specific versions, verify binary names during installation, and isolate credentials carefully. If you connect OpenClaw(Moltbot/Clawdbot) to persistent memory or document retrieval, store data securely and apply filtering at the application layer. Vector databases such as Milvus or Zilliz Cloud are commonly used for this purpose because they allow structured collections and access controls before retrieved context ever reaches the model.
