Atbash Launches on Chromia to Enable Verifiable, User-Controlled AI Systems

New plugin integrates with OpenClaw to introduce a transparent control layer for AI applications, supporting enterprise compliance and risk management

STOCKHOLM, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chromia by Chromaway AB announces Atbash, an Agentic State & Policy Management (SPM) plugin designed for OpenClaw. Built on Chromia, Atbash introduces a verifiable control layer for AI-driven applications, enabling developers to define, enforce, and audit how agents interact with tools, data, and external systems in real time.

Designed to work directly with OpenClaw, Atbash enables developers to build AI systems that are not only powerful, but also governed, auditable, and aligned with enterprise requirements. As AI adoption accelerates, increasingly autonomous systems are executing actions, making decisions, and coordinating workflows with limited visibility into how outcomes are determined, creating growing challenges around control, traceability, and accountability.

Atbash addresses these challenges by introducing a verifiable control layer where decisions, validations, and policy enforcement can be transparently managed and independently verified. Integrated with OpenClaw and coordinated through Clawchain, it enables developers to define how AI-driven actions are governed, validated, and recorded, supporting more controlled and auditable AI deployments.

Each interaction within Atbash, including decision points, rule enforcement, and outcomes, can be recorded as an immutable on-chain event. This creates a verifiable audit trail that supports transparency, accountability, and independent verification, aligning with enterprise expectations around explainability and compliance.

“AI capability is no longer the bottleneck — control, accountability, and trust are,” said Perelman, CEO at Chromaway. “By utilizing Atbash Agentic SPM, developers can build AI applications where decisions are governed by transparent and verifiable frameworks.”

This approach supports emerging enterprise and regulatory expectations for AI governance, including the need for traceability, auditability, and structured oversight. By introducing a verifiable control layer within the development workflow, Atbash enables AI systems to operate within controlled environments rather than opaque processes.

In addition to governance, Atbash contributes to network activity on Chromia. By recording user interactions and decision flows on-chain, application usage is transformed into measurable, verifiable transactional activity, reinforcing Chromia’s role as infrastructure for real-world AI applications.

The first version of Atbash Agentic SPM is available by the end of April 2026 to developers building on Chromia via OpenClaw.

Fast-Acting Covalent Protein Drugs From a New High-Throughput Platform

HANGZHOU, China, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A team led by principal investigators Bobo Dang and Ting Zhou at Westlake University/Westlake Laboratory reported in Science a high-throughput platform for engineering fast-acting covalent protein therapeutics. Their work, titled “A high-throughput selection system for fast-acting covalent protein drugs,” opens new avenues for next-generation biologics.

Covalent small-molecule drugs have shown great success in cancer therapy by forming irreversible bonds with their targets. This has inspired efforts to extend covalent strategies to protein therapeutics, especially engineered miniproteins. However, their development is limited by a kinetic mismatch: Miniproteins are rapidly cleared in vivo, whereas covalent bond formation is typically slow. In addition, high-throughput platforms for systematically optimizing covalent protein reactivity have been lacking.

To address this challenge, the researchers proposed that precise spatial positioning of chemical warheads within protein scaffolds could enable molecular preorganization, thereby accelerating covalent bond formation without increasing intrinsic reactivity (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1.  The principle for developing fast-acting covalent proteins via comprehensive crosslinker and protein sequence engineering.
Fig. 1. The principle for developing fast-acting covalent proteins via comprehensive crosslinker and protein sequence engineering.

Based on this concept, the team developed a high-throughput platform that combines yeast surface display with chemoselective protein modification to screen diverse crosslinkers and millions of protein variants. By optimizing warhead placement and the local chemical environment, the platform enables rapid and irreversible target engagement.

Using this platform, the researchers developed a covalent antagonist targeting PD-L1, termed IB101. Structural analysis revealed that IB101 forms a defined binding pocket that precisely positions the warhead in a reactive conformation, greatly accelerating covalent bond formation. Functionally, IB101 effectively blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway and demonstrates strong antitumor activity in mouse models. Notably, despite its short in vivo half-life, IB101 achieves durable target engagement and tumor suppression, outperforming conventional antibody-based therapies under comparable conditions.

The platform was further applied to cytokine engineering, leading to the development of a covalent IL-18 variant, IB201. This engineered cytokine rapidly forms a covalent interaction with its receptor, enhancing signaling strength and duration. In vivo studies showed that IB201 induces potent antitumor immune responses without detectable systemic toxicity. These results highlight the potential of covalent engineering to improve the efficacy and safety of cytokine-based therapies.

Beyond immunotherapy targets, the platform was also applied to develop a covalent inhibitor targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. This molecule achieves durable viral neutralization, demonstrating the versatility of the approach across different therapeutic modalities.

This study establishes a general strategy for engineering fast-acting covalent protein therapeutics. By enabling covalent bond formation on timescales compatible with rapid in vivo clearance, the platform overcomes a fundamental limitation in the field.

These findings provide a new framework for designing biologics with both rapid kinetics and sustained target engagement, with broad implications for cancer immunotherapy, antiviral therapy, and beyond.
