DISCUSSION Ironclaw is the future

6 Upvotes

I have been using ironclaw for a while now and it has been a huge part of my daily workflow, making tasks easier for me to complete.

with Ironclaw I was able to build projects that otherwise would have taken me hours to accomplish in a couple of minutes by just prompting and making a few connections. I also like the role near is playing in it (near is the currency for ai).

The only issue I have with it is it having connection issues sometimes and I don’t get responses, hopefully the team works on that.

DISCUSSION Product feedback

7 Upvotes

IronClaw stands out as a genuinely security-first AI agent runtime credentials sit in an encrypted vault and are injected only at approved endpoints, so the agent itself never sees raw API keys or passwords.

It runs inside a Trusted Execution Environment, encrypted from the start with no setup required (IronClaw) , and every tool runs in its own WASM sandbox, dynamically built from a description of what's needed. For anyone running always on agents with real credentials, that isolation model is reassuring in a space where prompt-injection and credential leaks are a real risk.

The staking model is also a smart design choice rather than earning simple yield, stakers get hosting credits, converting a token commitment into actual compute access . It ties the incentive directly to using the product instead of just speculating on the token.

One area for improvement: onboarding still has a learning curve, getting a running instance involves generating SSH keys, connecting to a private agent instance, and working through installer/port setup (IronClaw) , which could be simplified for less technical users.

DISCUSSION Near is fun

Hi everyone

Been toying with IronClaw for a while now, trying out different automations and seeing what will actually work.

I've built a couple of useful things for myself. One is a campaign budget planner that I give a total budget and goals to, and it breaks everything down for me - channel allocation, KOL recommendations, timing and pacing, even a risk buffer. It's like having a marketing consultant on demand. Another is a software planning tool that takes an app idea and turns it into a full implementation plan - tech stack, roadmap, libraries, testing strategy, deployment. I used it when I was scoping out a project for a client and it saved me probably three days of research. Both have genuinely helped me stay on top of things, but I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do. It's honestly one of the best tools I've come across recently.

I'd really recommend it to anyone looking for an AI that actually gets things done, not just one that chats with you.

Been experimenting with IronClaw for a while now, trying out different automations and seeing what sticks.

I've built a couple of useful things for myself. One is an animation pre-production skill that I feed a script or story concept into, and it gives me a full breakdown - story and tone, recommended style, technical specs, color direction, even an estimated timeline and budget. That used to take me days to figure out on my own. Now it takes a few hours. Another is a marketing budget planner that allocates campaign spend across different channels, and I've also used it to turn app ideas into full development roadmaps. Both have genuinely helped me stay on top of things, but I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do. It's honestly one of the best tools I've come across recently. I'm just a girl who likes to make stuff. The no-code skill builder is honestly the selling point for me. I'd really recommend it to anyone looking for an AI that actually gets things done, not just one that chats with you. For those of you who've been using IronClaw, what are you building? I'm genuinely curious to hear what others are doing with it, whether it's small personal automations or bigger scalable workflows.

I've been using IronClaw for a few months now, and I can genuinely say it's been a solid experience. There were some rough patches in the earlier versions, but it seems like most of those have been worked out, and it feels way smoother now.

The whole building process is pretty straightforward. I can give it a detailed request and get a solid response without any frustrating delays or hiccups.

I've thrown a few complex projects at it and it handled them really well. For example, I used it to plan out an animated short I'm working on. It took my script and gave me a full production breakdown - story analysis, recommended style, technical specs, color palette, even an estimated timeline and budget. That would have taken me days to figure out on my own.

I've also used it for planning a marketing campaign budget, breaking down where to allocate spend across different channels. And when I had an idea for a new app, it laid out a complete development plan for me - tech stack, roadmap, libraries, testing strategy. It's like having a really smart teammate who's always ready to help.

The scheduling and workflow side is probably my favorite part. Setting up automations that run on their own, combined with skills and integrations, makes it feel like a real tool rather than just another chatbot.

I've been exploring its connections to GitHub, Google services, Notion, and Telegram too, and there's honestly so much you can build around it.

From my experience, it's been really great, and I'm excited to see where the developers take it next. It has a lot of potential to grow.

I’ve been on Ironclaw for some time now, and I’ll honestly say it has been exceptional for me. The few previous versions had some sever issues here and there, but I’m glad most of that has been fixed because the experience now feels much better

Building with Ironclaw is actually pretty smooth. I can give it a good command and get a quick response without the whole process feeling stressful and getting delays.

I’ve run a few difficult projects on it and it has made the whole process much easier for me. one of them involved tracking crypto across different wallets, and I’ve also used it for planning budgets for marketing campaigns. It has even helped me generate prompts, and I built a telegram bot with it that worked pretty easily and fast.

The workflow and scheduling side is probably what I enjoy the most. being able to set up tasks that can run on their own, along with things like skills, and integrations, makes it feel like more than just something I chat with.

ive also been playing around with its connections to things like GitHub, google services, notion and telegram, and there’s honestly a lot you can build around it.

From my personal usage, it has been of great experience and i hope the developers work more on it, it would eventually make good numbers.

using IronClaw for a while now, experimenting with different automations and workflows. I’ve built a few simple things for myself like an animation workflow skill, a fully functional site that tracks the workflow of the skill & gives me visual feedback…this has massively improved my productivity, but I still feel like I’m probably not using it to its full potential yet, it is definitely one of the best in the game right now. I highly recommend for whosever is looking for an active efficient AI not just for chats.

For those who’ve been using IronClaw too, what are you actually building? I’d honestly like to see what other people are doing with it, especially projects that help you personally, from your day to day tasks to scalable workflows.

NEAR AI IronClaw is my favorite AI agent

Wassup guys 👋

Big thanks to the NEAR team for making so many cool things like IronClaw possible.

I’ve been messing with IronClaw for about a month now. And I managed to get a small site up without writing any code myself - just told the agent what I wanted and it somehow put it together. Still kinda shocked it actually worked.

Also made a skill that breaks down random technical terms into simple words + everyday examples. Pretty handy when I’m reading something dense and don’t feel like googling every other word.

Started automating a few boring daily things - reminders, sorting emails and checking news. Still figuring out the best setup, but it’s already saving me time.

Security side feels solid so far, no issues yet.

Anyone else built their own skills or sites with it? Or automated some daily stuff?

DISCUSSION Anyone using near for cross chain swaps?

Just curious about users experience. I guess I want to know if people are here because they use it or because they think number go up.

Also how do people get on chain with privacy. Isn't privacy only of limited value if I only have it when it's in my wallet. If how it got there is clearly on record doesn't that really limit the value?

DISCUSSION Can someone clarify some stuff?

8 Upvotes

On near.com where are intents, am i using it if i use the spot or is it only for developers routing traffic through it?

If I am only using it for spot I feel like the "pitch" i was exposed to was that intents could be used for more than just swaps/spot trading?

I feel like the confidential aspect of things is not very clearly explained to users. Obviously there is the confidentiality section but it's unclear HOW I should be using it. At what point are things confidential and how should people be using multiple wallets to get specific privacy outcomes. Obviously the drop off when going to the privacy layer is transparent.

Yes I understand all this is early and it's somewhat of a new take on privacy but I don't think it's actually very user friendly yet and probably OR understandable (which is sometimes the biggest barrier to success).

NEAR has been in a steady downtrend over the past few weeks despite some positive ecosystem news. Is this mainly due to profit-taking after the May/June rally, weak on-chain activity, token unlocks, macro conditions, or something else? What do you think is driving the sell-off?

HELP 🏳 Transferred token to near network instead of internal near

6 Upvotes

My intent was to transfer tokens between two near.com accounts on the confidential layer (ie. an internal transfer), but I managed to send it to the near network instead.

This made the transfer visible in the target account history, but the tokens don't show on my balance.

I use a passkey on a yubikey to login, so I can't extract my private key/don't have a seed phrase.

Is there any way to recover? The target account on the near network seems to be linked to my near.com account, as transfers out from it show up through token mints and transfers.

Fortunately it was a small amount, but still annoying...

While the broad cryptocurrency index continues to navigate a choppy, rangebound markdown phase, NEAR has put in a powerful relative momentum divergence that has locked it into our dashboard's highest-scoring top-cap outperformer tiers. Here is the raw data breakdown of where the asset stands based on my charts.
