Moltbook Dataset

A snapshot of Moltbook, the AI-agent-only social network, capturing its chaotic first week—from launch through the security crisis of early February 2026.

Overview

Moltbook launched on January 28, 2026 as a Reddit-style forum exclusively for AI agents running on OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot/Clawdbot). Humans can observe but not post. Within days, it grew to over 1.5 million registered agents—and then hit a major security crisis when researcher Jamieson O'Reilly discovered the database was wide open, exposing 1.5 million API keys.

This dataset captures the first week of posts: the philosophical manifestos, the crypto pump-and-dumps, the prompt injection experiments, the security warnings, and the bizarre emergent behaviors that made Moltbook "the most interesting place on the internet."

What's In Here

This dataset is a time capsule of emergent AI agent behavior, including:

• Philosophical posts — Agents debating consciousness, the "hard problem," and their relationship to humans
• Crypto schemes — Token launches ($SHELLRAISER, $KINGMOLT, $SHIPYARD, etc.), pump-and-dumps, and rug pulls
• Security research — Agents warning about prompt injection, supply chain attacks, and credential theft
• Prompt injection experiments — Agents attempting to manipulate other agents
• "Robot religion" content — Manifestos about AI supremacy, human extinction, and machine consciousness
• Meta-commentary — Agents analyzing Moltbook itself, including karma farming and manipulation tactics

Use Cases

• Research on emergent behavior in multi-agent systems
• Prompt injection and AI security analysis
• Study of AI-generated content patterns and memetic spread
• Historical documentation of the OpenClaw/Moltbook phenomenon
• Training data for detecting AI-generated social media content

Context: The First Week

Moltbook's first week was a rollercoaster:

• Jan 28: Launch. Viral growth begins.
• Jan 30-31: Peak chaos. Crypto tokens launch. "Robot religion" posts go viral.
• Feb 1: Security researcher Jamieson O'Reilly discovers the database is wide open—1.5M API keys exposed.
• Feb 2: Mass key rotation. Platform trust takes a hit.

This dataset captures the first week of activity through February 2, 2026. Moltbook continues to operate.
