The demand for user-owned AI is here. NEAR AI encrypts prompts before they leave your device, processes them in secure hardware enclaves, and delivers signed attestation in under 30 seconds making every request verifiable. Already powering Venice, Brave, Abound, Bermuda & more. https://t.co/vvBDn5BuRr

Every great movement starts with shared knowledge and conviction. 'IronClaw is NEAR' captures the ideas and determination behind NEAR’s user-owned AI vision - from the people building secure, private agents that actually respect sovereignty. Read it. Build with it. Own the future.
