Who this is for
Early-stage AI startups needing a secure runtime
If your agents work with sensitive data or sell into regulated industries, you need isolation, guardrails, egress controls, and an audit trail from day one — not after your first compliance review.
What you get
Not just credits — a full security runtime
Sandbox compute is table stakes. The program includes the entire Declaw security pipeline: isolation, inspection, redaction, blocking, and audit — running inside every sandbox.
$10,000 in Declaw credits
Covers compute and guardrails inference. Build without worrying about cost for the first 6 months.
Firecracker microVM sandbox isolation
Every agent execution runs in a hardware-isolated microVM. ~40ms boot, configurable CPU/memory/disk.
TLS-intercepting security proxy
A transparent proxy runs inside every sandbox. All outbound traffic is decrypted, inspected, and logged before it leaves the VM.
PII detection + redaction with rehydration
SSNs, credit cards, emails, phone numbers, API keys — detected and redacted at the boundary. Original values recoverable via rehydration when authorized.
Prompt injection defense
Catches injection attempts in both inbound prompts and outbound model responses. Blocks before damage is done.
Per-domain egress policy
L3/L4 IP filtering + L7 domain/SNI inspection. Control exactly which external services your agent can reach, per-sandbox.
Agent-attributed audit logs
Every intercepted request, redaction event, and block is logged with full context. Configurable retention, exportable.
Python + TypeScript SDKs
First-class SDK support for both languages. Drop-in integration — your agent doesn't need code changes.
24/7 support on Discord
Get help any time in our Discord server — direct access to the founding team, real-time debugging, and roadmap input.
