IronClaw is an open-source alternative to OpenClaw, engineered to run artificial intelligence agents with a defense-in-depth security model. The platform hosts user credentials in an encrypted vault within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on NEAR AI Cloud, injecting them only into pre-approved network endpoints, ensuring the language model (LLM) never accesses the plaintext values. The entire runtime is built in Rust, and every tool executes in its own WebAssembly (Wasm) container, eliminating entire classes of memory safety vulnerabilities.
