NEAR AI is NEAR Protocol's user-owned AI infrastructure effort, most recently visible through IronClaw, a WASM-sandboxed agent runtime, and a confidential GPU marketplace that leverages TEEs so compute providers cannot read the workloads they run. NEAR token stake is claimed to convert into compute credits. The roster describes these as emerging/live features rather than a mature, long-running product; no direct probe or attestation check has been run for this seed batch.
