Versions:
IronClaw 0.23.0, published by NEAR AI, is an open-source AI-agent framework positioned as a security-centric alternative to OpenClaw. Designed for users who need autonomous digital assistants but refuse to surrender sensitive data, the platform executes agents inside encrypted enclaves on NEAR AI Cloud while keeping every secret strictly local. Because all storage is client-side and encrypted, credentials, prompts, and generated artifacts never reach the underlying language model, eliminating the risk of corporate telemetry or accidental leakage. The software is intended for developers, privacy-minded professionals, and organizations that want reproducible automation across DevOps pipelines, customer-support bots, research workflows, or personal productivity without exposing intellectual property. Version history shows thirteen incremental releases, indicating rapid iteration toward hardened sandboxing, prompt-injection mitigation, and multi-channel connectivity. Capabilities expand on demand through a WASM module system: untrusted third-party tools run inside isolated WebAssembly containers governed by capability-based permissions, while an allow-listed HTTP layer restricts outbound calls to pre-approved hosts. Additional defenses include pattern-based prompt-injection detection, host-boundary secret injection with leak monitoring, and Docker-based job isolation that issues per-task tokens. Interaction modes cover REPL scripting, HTTP webhooks, WASM channels for Telegram or Slack, and a web gateway for browser access, ensuring agents remain reachable from any endpoint an enterprise already uses. The entire stack is auditable, ships without hidden phone-home code, and can be extended by end-users without waiting for vendor updates. IronClaw is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
