Today at NEARCON 2026, NEAR AI introduced two major products—IronClaw and the Confidential GPU Marketplace—alongside new multimodal and privacy capabilities.
This is the stack—confidential by design, verifiable at runtime—for building the AI economy without compromise 🧵
IronClaw
The secure, open-source alternative to OpenClaw that runs in encrypted enclaves on NEAR AI Cloud. Give your agent full system access while still protecting your credentials.
Everything you love about OpenClaw, nothing you're worried about.
The @NEARProtocol House of Stake lays out a bold roadmap for coupling onchain democracy with AI-driven decision support. 👇
2/5: Before anything, what is the House of Stake?
1. 11 human delegates chosen to represent veNEAR holders
2. An appointed Screening Committee aimed to fast-track high-quality proposals
3. A Security Council tasked with vetoing any malicious or destabilizing ideas
This streamlined structure keeps governance nimble, transparent, and resilient against bureaucratic bloat - also sets the stage for AI to augment the efficiency and quality of decision-making.
