## OpenClaw Feature Parity
IronClaw is a Rust reimplementation inspired by [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw). See [FEATURE_PARITY.md](FEATURE_PARITY.md) for the complete tracking matrix.
### Status Summary
| Category | Status | Notes |
|----------|--------|-------|
| **Core Agent** | ✅ Complete | Sessions, workers, routing, context compaction |
| **Channels** | 🚧 Partial | TUI, HTTP, REPL, WASM channels done; messaging platforms pending |
| **Tools** | ✅ Complete | Built-in, MCP, WASM sandbox, dynamic builder |
| **Memory** | ✅ Complete | Hybrid search, embeddings, workspace filesystem |
| **Security** | ✅ Complete | WASM sandbox, prompt injection, leak detection |
| **Automation** | 🚧 Partial | Heartbeat done; cron, hooks pending |
| **Gateway** | ❌ Pending | WebSocket control plane, service management |
| **Web UI** | ❌ Pending | Control dashboard, WebChat |
| **Mobile/Desktop** | 🚫 Out of scope | Focus on server-side initially |
### Key Differences from OpenClaw
- **Rust vs TypeScript** - Native performance, single binary
- **WASM sandbox vs Docker** - Lightweight, capability-based security
- **PostgreSQL vs SQLite** - Production-ready persistence
- **NEAR AI primary** - Session-based auth with model proxy
