IronClaw v0.28 - IronClaw Reborn is now live.
We rebuilt the runtime from the ground up.
Now:
- Every tool call runs in isolation
- Every outbound action needs approval
- The host defines the rules, not the agent
- WeChat support added
- Thinking enabled for Ollama models
The @NEARProtocol is becoming post-quantum-safe. See below for the roadmap to quantum safety, starting with adding a quantum-secure signing scheme in Q2.
We originally built the protocol with expectation cryptography will need to change due to progress in quantum computing. We knew there would be a need to expand the cryptography set, so NEAR allows multiple signing schemes by design and users will be able to use whichever one they prefer. We also design NEAR account model to not depend on any particular cryptography and allow to manage keys as "devices".
We’re proactively releasing the first quantum-safe signing scheme this spring, the first of many. Allowing wallets and partners to add support to it and users to secure their accounts early. We want to give users as much time as possible to rotate their keys in a proactive way and have piece of mind.
In parallel Near One is going to upgrade cryptography across secure the rest of the protocol. More to come on this, but I'm excited for these steps and I feel NEAR is well-positioned to lead in the quantum transition for our space.
Quantum computing is a threat to every blockchain protocol. NEAR's architecture already makes accounts and assets more quantum-secure than most chains.
The team is now adding post-quantum cryptography to secure NEAR and the wider Intents ecosystem.
Here's what's underway 🧵
. @near_intents begins with a smaller demand than most protocols ask of you: state the outcome you want across networks, not every bridge click and gas token you will touch. Solvers compete to deliver. Settlement stays on-chain.
That split between intention and execution is not a UX nicety. It is the same split autonomous agents will need when value moves faster than any team can manually route.

Labeling does not bill like enterprise software. It bills like a stream of small wires to individuals who may never share your time zone.
When each payment carries fixed cost and lag, your unit economics stop being a footnote. They become the product. Either you build rails that match distributed work, or you quietly centralize who is allowed to participate. There is no third option at scale.

IronClaw v0.26 is out 🚀
Major highlight is self improving RLM engine (v2) that has gotten a lot more stable over the past week.
Another big work stream is multi tenancy - the only claw that can be shared by the team or enterprise due to security isolation approach.

In trying times like this it was great to see collaboration between 5 different ecosystem teams and also global partners to track down what happened, responsible actor and recover funds.
Security and resilience is going to be an ever more important goals for NEAR overall.
Swap smarter, not harder.
Meet @near_intents: the AI-powered revolution natively integrated into the Ledger Wallet™ app.
Stop manually hunting for routes. Let solvers do the heavy lifting while your keys stay securely offline.
Here is how it works 🧵👇
We are aware of an incident affecting @rhea_finance. As a precautionary measure, activity on NEAR Intents and near[dot]com has been temporarily paused while we assess transactions potentially linked to the incident and support the investigation, in accordance with Intents’ compliance and transaction monitoring procedures.
NEAR Intents itself was not affected, and no near[dot]com user funds have been lost or stolen. We are working closely with Rhea and relevant third parties and will share further updates as more information is confirmed.
