Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yeah, so Ironclaw is built on this idea of defense in depth.

And so, yes, on credential side, so all credentials are fully encrypted and they're attached to a specific policy.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So let's say you give it your Google account credentials.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

it will not let anything else in the system to send its credentials to another domain that's not Google, googleapi.com, google.com.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It's locked in a vault and vault checks, yeah, vault checks how you use it before letting it out.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Okay.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So same for, for example, for cryptographic keys, you can actually attach a policy saying, hey, you can only, you know, use Aave and, you know, Morpho.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

You can only, you know, whatever, spend $100 a day on unknown addresses, et cetera, et cetera.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So, and we're, you know, kind of designing how to, how to like write this.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

We also, for any action that you do, we're working on kind of system where you can effectively describe kind of what effects in the world, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Like LLM can effectively analyze like, hey, you're planning to send a bunch of emails to people and tell them they're, you know, whatever, idiots.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Like you can design effectively a natural language policy as well that checks like, hey, is this actions independently of the context of how agent arrives to section is compliant with our organizational policy or your personal policy, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So like almost like values and like HR handbook type validation, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So you can have like different levels of validation.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

The other side is everything is isolated into tools and tools are effectively, you can think of them as smart contracts, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

They are running inside a VM.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

We're using our WebAssembly VM that we use for near smart contracts, which we spent seven years effectively battle testing with, you know, billions of dollars.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And so we use that to isolate all of the tools, including the tools it builds itself.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So that tool itself cannot go in like rack your machine

Bankless

or your system doing it.
