Secure, open-source alternative to OpenClaw

OpenClaw is powerful, but give it real credentials and you're exposed. Prompt injections steal API keys. Malicious skills grab passwords. IronClaw fixes this. Your credentials live in an encrypted vault inside a TEE — injected at the network boundary only for approved endpoints. The AI never sees the raw values. Every tool is Wasm-sandboxed. Outbound traffic is scanned for leaks. Built in Rust. Open source. Deploy on NEAR AI Cloud in one click.

IronClaw is what secure AI agents should look like, powerful, always-on, and actually built with user safety in mind.

This is solving a real problem. I've been wary of handing credentials to AI tools, and the encrypted vault approach feels like the right architecture. Curious: does the vault support hardware key unlock (like YubiKey or Touch ID), or is it passphrase-only for now?

Does this agent really maintain complete confidentiality?

I've been using Ironclaw, and it's a game-changer for secure, local AI that handles emails and scheduling without cloud leaks. The setup takes extra time due to robust security, but it's worth it for total data control. Highly recommend for privacy-focused users tired of data leaks.

I've always been a bit paranoid about giving AI agents access to my accounts and API keys. Like, what if something goes wrong? What if it leaks my passwords? IronClaw actually solves that worry for me. Your keys are locked away and the AI just never sees them. It feels like the first time I can actually trust an agent with real tasks. Super excited to try this out properly!

this is the right approach.agents with real credentials are a huge risk today. keeping secrets inside a tee and never exposing them to the model makes a lot of sense.curious to see how it holds up in real-world usage.

IronClaw feels like the kind of upgrade AI infra actually needed. Giving models access to real credentials has always been risky, and most tools just ignore that. Vault + TEE + wasm sandboxing is a solid approach, especially if the AI never touches raw secrets. If this works smoothly in practice, it could set a new standard....
