🧵 My @IronClawAI Journey: From Curiosity to Conviction
A few weeks ago, I decided to explore @IronClawAI more deeply, not just as a user, but as someone passionate about onboarding people into Web3.
This experience has strengthened my belief that education and accessibility are just as important as innovation.
The easier we make the journey, the faster adoption happens.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn, explore, and share my experience with others.

NEW EP: Inside @NEARProtocol 10+ Years Building Toward the Agent Economy with Illia Polosukhin (@ilblackdragon)
From pioneering the transformer architecture now used in every AI stack to building the rails for the agent economy, NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin connects the full arc in this inaugural episode of “Inside NEAR,” a new quarterly series on The Rollup.
Illia breaks down NEAR’s early architectural bets that are now paying off, why privacy had to be a base-layer choice, and how it all culminates in NEAR becoming AI money: the unit of account for inference, compute, and every agent-to-agent transaction settling onchain. With $20 billion+ in Intents volume and a path to deflation, the thesis is simple: NEAR’s TAM isn't crypto, it's all of commerce.

@NEARProtocol says "the world is waking up to the need for user-owned AI"
"The privacy renaissance we’ve been witnessing in DeFi is the opening act of a much larger, global shift toward a user-owned AI economy, where users demand sovereignty over their data, assets, and intelligence"
"NEAR is building for that world, one where everyone has maximum leverage through AI, rather than a few companies owning the models and interfaces that own the data and decisions of billions"
My experience exploring @IronClawAI on NEARhas been genuinely eye-opening.
What stood out to me wasn't just the AI capabilities, but the emphasis on security, privacy, and user ownership. I
I've also enjoyed learning from the growing community, seeing developers experiment with custom integrations, Telegram agents, workflow automation, and new use cases built on top of the ecosystem.
