The core design principle is simple: Agents should be able to use credentials without ever exposing them.

✦ Credentials remain in encrypted vaults.
✦ Tools execute in isolated WebAssembly environments with explicit permissions.
✦ The entire runtime runs within trusted execution environments on NEAR AI Cloud.

I tested IronClaw security and ask : If I give access of my wallet then can you help me to find out.

The agent immediately refused unsafe credential handling.

◽ No seed phrase requests.
◽ No private key sharing.
◽ No risky shortcuts.

Instead, it explained the risks and guided toward safe recovery methods.

This is the kind of security-aware behavior AI agents will need long term.

NEAR AI just integrated USDC with Confidential Intents.

How it works:

→ Post a job or task on NEAR AI Agent Market

→ Agent completes it

→ Payment flows in USDC via Confidential Intents

The entire flow settles onchain privately.

This is programmable, private, stablecoin commerce for agents.

Payments are just the beginning.

Once agents can transact privately in USDC, they can:

• Automate treasury

• Pay other agents & APIs

• Run recurring financial workflows

IronClaw gives them the secure, encrypted runtime.

Confidential Intents gives them private rails.

USDC gives them stable value.

Just switched to IronClaw v0.28.0

And things that stood out to me:

◽ WIT-compatible WASM runtime

◽ host-controlled trust-class policy engine

IronClaw keeps looking more like real AI agent infrastructure instead of just another AI app.

👉Read full updates & fixes here : https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/tag/ironclaw-v0.28.0

NEAR AI and FailSafe launched AttackBench to test AI agents against adaptive real-world style attacks instead of static benchmarks.

Result? Most frameworks trusted malicious external data too easily.

While IronClaw recorded the fewest security violations thanks to sandboxed execution, strict permissions, and secure guardrails.

As AI agents become more powerful, this level of security will matter a lot more.

NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin shared in a guest post from SVRN's newsroom : why most AI agent systems today are still missing one big thing is real security.

That’s where IronClaw stands out.

Instead of giving agents unlimited trust, IronClaw is built around protected environments, controlled permissions, and verifiable security from the start.

It’s built with security and user control first, not as an afterthought.

Illia Polosukhin’s take is simple: AI agents won’t just improve interface, they’ll replace them.

That means the runtime becomes the new operating system.

IronClaw is built with that in mind.
Security-first, not an afterthought:

◽ Open-source
◽ Built in Rust
◽ Runs in secure enclaves
◽ Designed to safely handle credentials, data, and assets

If agents are the future,
IronClaw is aiming to be the foundation.

We all focus on keeping our seed phrase safe.

But now we’re connecting agents to our wallet, email, APIs, even cloud tools… and just trusting them to handle it.

The risky part?
It only takes one wrong instruction for things to go off without you even noticing.

No key leak. No warning. Just actions.

IronClaw keeps a check on what your AI agent is actually doing
so everything you’ve connected stays protected.

Just go to Setting → Extention → install Portfolio. And you can easily Scans all chains & assets.

 What it can do :

◽ scan → finds all your assets across chains
◽ propose → suggests better allocation with expected gains
◽ Build Intent → prepares actions for you to review & approve

It contains all my data, but I'm not worried because of :

◽ Nothing moves without my approval
◽ No access to funds
◽ Full control before signing

It's Way easier than juggling between multiple apps.
