About IronClaw
IronClaw is an open-source runtime designed to run AI agents securely. It is an alternative to OpenClaw that operates within encrypted enclaves on the NEAR AI Cloud. IronClaw enables AI agents that carry out activities without exposing sensitive information. With its appeal lying in its security, its set up and deployed with a one-click cloud deployment feature. The credentials API keys, tokens, and passwords are added to a secure, encrypted vault. IronClaw introduces them at predefined points, preventing the AI agent from accessing the raw data. An IronClaw instance on NEAR AI Cloud operates within a Trusted Execution Environment, thereby ensuring encryption from the beginning, without any extra setup required. The security feature is further heightened as the system inspects all outbound traffic in real-time to prevent unauthorized data transmission significantly. The integrity of the system is also maintained as tools are only allowed to communicate with pre-approved endpoints, ensuring control over data flow. IronClaws security architecture eliminates several exploits entirely by using Rust for its runtime, such as buffer overflows and use-after-free scenarios, by enforcing memory safety at compile time rather than runtime. Every tool operates within its own WebAssembly container with capability-based permissions, approved endpoints, and strict resource limits.
