IronClaw
Secure open-source runtime for running AI agents in encrypted enclaves.
What is IronClaw?
IronClaw is a secure, open-source runtime built on Rust designed to run your automated AI agents inside encrypted enclaves on the NEAR AI Cloud. Developed as a safer alternative to OpenClaw, it prevents critical prompt injection attacks from exfiltrating sensitive credentials. By integrating an encrypted vault, sandboxed WebAssembly tools, and strict network allowlisting, IronClaw ensures that your API keys, tokens, and storage methods remain invisible to the LLM. It functions as a defense-in-depth shield for automated clawbots and ironclaw skills, enabling you to deploy high-capability personal assistants with absolute peace of mind.
