Here's my talk from @StanfordSBA BASS last week on how to build a sovereign AI stack. Open vs. closed is not the only question for AI sovereignty:
-Can you trust that you know exactly which model youโre running?
-Do you know if the prompt has been rewritten?
-Can you verify the data it was trained on?
-Did the model or hardware owner exploit your data?
-Can you learn about any topic or is usage restricted by another party?
We need verifiability at every layer.

Every email service promises not to read your mail. NEAR Email makes it impossible.
Your NEAR account is your address. alice.near becomes [email protected]. No signup, no password, no account to create, your wallet already is the inbox. You own your emails the same way you own your tokens.
The privacy isn't a policy, it's the architecture. Your keys are derived by NEAR's MPC network and live inside an Intel TDX enclave. Nobody, not the servers, not us, can read a NEAR-to-NEAR message, and you don't take that on faith. Every action ships with an Intel-signed attestation you can check yourself.
And it's not a walled garden. Send to Gmail, Outlook, anyone. Receive from anywhere. NEAR-to-NEAR stays fully encrypted, no intermediaries. Because accounts are human-readable, you can email the owner of any wallet directly. Ask if they'll sell the NFT. Ask why they bought your memecoin.
This is what OutLayer makes possible: an app where your identity is your key, the key never leaves the enclave, and privacy is something you verify, not something you're promised. Email was one of the first things we pointed it at.
Your NEAR just became your compute budget.
โข Staking for NEAR AI is live โ no credit card, no cloud account, just stake $NEAR.
โข Your stake sets both your monthly credit budget and how many agents run in parallel. Unstake whenever.
Staking for NEAR AI is live.
Stake NEAR to pay for confidential inference and to deploy always-on @ironclawAI agents. Credits scale with your stake. No credit card required.

Most AI conversations start with trust.
You ask questions, share ideas, upload documents, brainstorm your next startup... and rarely stop to ask:
Who else can see this?
That question stayed with me
โฆ So I made this short video to show what privacy in AI should feel like.
@near_ai isn't just another chatbot but It's built with a different mindset:
> your ideas belong to you.
> Privacy isn't a feature you turn on and it's part of the foundation.
If you've ever shared something important with AI, this video is for you.
Watch it; I think you'll see AI a little differently after. ๐
@IronClawAI@NEARLegion
IronClaw 1.0 routes every action through a single guard.
Security by default, not by policy. Verifiable, not asserted.
IronClaw is now faster, more reliable, and more consistent.
Moving funds between blockchains hasn't always been easy.
- Find a bridge
- Connect your wallets
- Approve transactions
- Pray it goes through
Solflare replaces that experience with Bridge powered by @auroraisnear@near_intents.
NEAR Intents is now live on Solflare!
Solflare Bridge, a new feature inside the wallet, lets users deposit assets from major chains and receive solana assets directly, no extra wallet or dApp connection needed.
Built on Aurora Intents, with NEAR Intents powering the routing.
Getting your funds onto Solana just became ridiculously simple.
INTRODUCING: BRIDGE
Receive funds from other chains into your Solflare wallet using a permanent deposit address.
Save it once. Use it forever.

It remembers you, and it grows.
Persistent memory across conversations. And when it hits a capability gap, it builds a new sandboxed tool for the job and reuses it later.
The IronClaw you use in six months will be better than today's, shaped by how you use it.
