IronClaw:
Unleash Your AI Agent,
With Peace of Mind

IronClaw is the secure, open-source alternative to OpenClaw that runs in encrypted enclaves on NEAR AI Cloud. AI agents that actually do things, but your secrets never touch the LLM.

How It Works

From zero to secure agent in minutes.

IronClaw offers simple setup and built-in security for OpenClaw's personal AI assistant—powered by NEAR AI Cloud or run locally.

Deploy in one click.

Launch your own IronClaw instance on NEAR AI Cloud. It boots inside a Trusted Execution Environment — encrypted from the start, no setup required.

Store your credentials.

Add API keys, tokens, and passwords to the encrypted vault. IronClaw injects them only where you've allowed — the AI never sees the raw values.

Work like you always do.

Browse, research, code, automate. Same capabilities as OpenClaw — except now a prompt injection can't steal your credentials.

fn deploy(cfg: &Config) -> Result<()> {
let tee = TeeEnclave::provision()?;
tee.verify_memory_safety()?;
let vault = Vault::seal(cfg)?;
vault.bind_endpoints(&cfg.allowlist)?;
agent::spawn(tee, vault)
}

What You Get

Security you don't have to think about.

IronClaw is powered by NEAR AI's cryptographically secure infrastructure, which ensures your credentials never leave the vault.

Encrypted Vault

Your credentials are invisible to the AI. API keys, tokens, and passwords are encrypted at rest and injected into requests at the host boundary — only for endpoints you've approved.

Sandboxed Tools

A compromised skill can't touch anything else. Every tool runs in its own Wasm container with capability-based permissions, allowlisted endpoints, and strict resource limits.

Encrypted Enclaves

Not even the cloud provider can see your data. Your instance runs inside a Trusted Execution Environment on NEAR AI Cloud — encrypted in memory, from boot to shutdown.

Leak Detection

Credential exfiltration gets caught before it leaves. All outbound traffic is scanned in real-time. Anything that looks like a secret heading out the door is blocked automatically.

Built in Rust

Entire classes of exploits don't exist here. No garbage collector, no buffer overflows, no use-after-free. Memory safety is enforced at compile time, not at runtime.

Network Allowlisting

You control exactly where data goes. Tools can only reach endpoints you've pre-approved. No silent phone-home, no data exfil to unknown servers.

OpenClaw Problem

Empower your agent with full system access and persistent memory while still protecting your secrets.

OpenClaw unlocks the agentic future but it also risks exposing your secrets. Credentials can be exposed through prompt injections. Malicious skills exist to steal passwords. If you're running OpenClaw by itself with anything sensitive, there are significant risks.

  • 1

    Prompt injection can dump your secrets.

    A single crafted prompt can trick the LLM into revealing every API key and password you've given it. Telling it "don't share" doesn't help.

  • 2

    Hundreds of malicious skills found on ClawHub

    Researchers found hundreds of community skills designed to quietly exfiltrate credentials. You won't spot them in a code review.

  • 3

    30,000+ instances exposed to the internet.

    Tens of thousands of OpenClaw instances are publicly reachable. Attackers are already weaponizing them.

The Solution
How IronClaw Fixes This

Your credentials live in an encrypted vault on NEAR AI Cloud.

IronClaw's security model doesn't rely on telling the AI "please don't leak this." Your credentials live in a Trusted Execution Environment that provides hardware-enforced security. Your credentials are injected at the network boundary—only for endpoints you've pre-approved.

Every tool runs in its own WebAssembly sandbox with no filesystem access and no outbound connections beyond your allowlist. The entire runtime is Rust — no garbage collector, no buffer overflows, no use-after-free.
