NEAR turns crypto into a single, seamless experience: one account, all chains, instant UX. Chain Abstraction + sub‑second finality make Web3 feel like Web2—without the wallet and bridge headaches.

Why NEAR stands outOne account, many chains: Use Chain Signatures and Intents to transact across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and more—no wallet hopping.

Instant app feel: ~600 ms blocks and ~1.2 s finality with Nightshade sharding keep fees low and UX fast. Built for AI + agents: Define outcomes; NEAR routes, signs, and executes in the background across chains.

Strong on-chain activity: Tens of millions of MAUs and growing DeFi usage signal real adoption.

Attractive staking: Leading platforms show ~9–10% headline rates, depending on validator and compounding. Do own research. $ETH $NEAR
