Free open-source scanner helps security teams and builders identify malicious behaviors as OpenClaw adoption accelerates

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alice today announced the release of Caterpillar, a free, open-source security tool built to help developers, security teams and users protect AI agents in OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot and Moltbot) as agent ecosystems accelerate across the developer community. OpenClaw’s momentum reflects a broader industry shift: agents are quickly moving from experimentation to operational software and connecting to tools, calling APIs, and executing workflows with increasing autonomy.

Caterpillar is designed for the security reality that comes with that shift. It statically inspects skill logic and configurations to surface injection paths, unsafe tool access, and obfuscated behaviors. The software is further informed by RabbitHole, Alice’s adversarial intelligence database built from years of real-world threat research and signals.

Caterpillar’s release follows an early real world test case where the tool flagged several published skills Alice found to be actively malicious, including skills in use by over 6,000 OpenClaw users when they were caught.

“Agent ecosystems are scaling faster than the security assumptions around them,” said Noam Schwartz, CEO of Alice. “When you install a skill, you’re not installing a feature, you’re installing behavior. Caterpillar helps teams see what they’re actually running, and catch issues early, before they become incidents. For us, the goal is simple: help builders and businesses advance unafraid.”

Caterpillar is available today as free, open-source software, enabling the community to audit, extend, and operationalize agent security as adoption grows. For more information or to get started, visit caterpillar.alice.io.

Exploring Market Buzz: Unique Opportunities in Cryptocurrencies

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, recent developments have sparked significant interest. A closer look at pricing forecasts for Cardano (ADA) and rumors surrounding a Solana (SOL) ETF, coupled with the emergence of a promising new entrant, Layer Brett, reveals a complex market dynamic. Cardano's Prospects: A Closer Look Cardano, a stalwart in the blockchain space, continues to hold its ground with its research-driven development strategy. The latest price predictions for ADA suggest potential gains, predicting a double or even quadruple increase in its valuation. Despite these optimistic forecasts, the allure of exponential gains drives traders toward more speculative ventures. The Buzz Around Solana ETF The potential introduction of a Solana ETF has the crypto community abuzz, potentially catapulting SOL prices to new heights. As investors await regulatory decisions, the impact of such an ETF on Solana's value could be substantial, potentially reaching up to $300. However, as with Cardano, the substantial market capitalization of Solana may temper its growth potential. Why Layer Brett is Gaining Traction Amidst established names, a new contender, Layer Brett, has started to capture the market's attention with its early presale stages. Offering a low entry price of just $0.0058 and promising over 700% in staking rewards, Layer Brett presents a tempting proposition for those looking to maximize returns. Comparative Analysis: ADA, SOL, and $LBRETT While both ADA and SOL offer stable investment choices with reliable growth, Layer Brett emerges as a high-risk, high-reward option that could potentially offer significantly higher returns due to its nascent market position and aggressive economic model. Initial presale pricing lets investors get in on the ground floor. Staking rewards currently exceed 690%, a persuasive incentive for early adopters. Backed by Ethereum's Layer 2 for enhanced transaction speed and reduced costs. A community-focused $1 million giveaway to further drive engagement and investor interest. Predicted by some analysts to offer up to 50x returns in coming years. Shifting Sands: Investor Movements As the crypto market landscape shifts, many investors, including those traditionally holding ADA and SOL, are beginning to diversify their portfolios by turning to high-potential opportunities like Layer Brett. The combination of strategic presale pricing and significant staking rewards is creating a momentum of its own. Act Fast: Time-Sensitive Opportunities As September progresses, opportunities to capitalize on these low entry points and high yield offerings from Layer Brett are likely to diminish. With increasing attention and funds being directed towards this new asset, the window to act is closing quickly. Invest in Layer Brett now to secure your position before the next price hike and staking rewards reduction.
