As AI agents become more capable, issues of ownership, privacy, and trust are more relevant.
IronClaw is based on the premise that users should control their agents, credentials and data, not vice versa.

IronClaw v0.29.0 is coming soon
IronClaw keeps moving closer to becoming real long-term AI agent infrastructure instead of just another AI tool.
👉Check out Full update notes here: https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/tag/ironclaw-v0.29.0
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.

Started with OpenClaw and it honestly changed how I look at AI agents.
But while testing different agent setups, I realized how little people talk about security. Most agents still get a lot of access without many protections around them.
That’s why r/ironclawAl became interesting to me.
Things like sandboxed execution, encrypted environments, and controlled permissions just make more sense the more powerful agents become.
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.

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.
