NEAR AI says IronClaw 1.0 is now deployed as part of July shipments

NEAR Protocol said its July shipments included NEAR staking for NEAR AI compute going live and the launch of IronClaw 1.0 on mainnet, marking a new step in the project’s AI and agent-related rollout. In a blog post announcing IronClaw 1.0, NEAR AI said the release is deployed across NEAR Foundation and NEAR AI.

The official recap also grouped the updates with broader AI and agent infrastructure changes, suggesting the deployments were part of a wider set of July deliveries rather than a standalone launch. That framing matters for readers tracking the project’s product pace: the post presents staking and IronClaw as live components, not as plans or test-stage features.

What NEAR said changed

According to the recap shared by NEAR Protocol, NEAR staking for NEAR AI compute is now live. The same update says IronClaw 1.0 has launched on mainnet, adding an additional deployment milestone to the project’s AI stack.

A separate post from a member of the project community also pointed to staking mechanics for NEAR AI compute and IronClaw hosting, but the clearest public confirmation in the material comes from NEAR’s own recap and the IronClaw 1.0 announcement.

The available information does not spell out all operational details of the deployments in one place, but it does make one thing clear: NEAR is presenting both the compute staking component and IronClaw 1.0 as active releases rather than future roadmap items.
