NEAR Protocol

NEAR is coming up on 5 years since mainnet.

That’s the equivalent of Bitcoin in 2014.

It’s still so early 😎

NEAR is not just building a platform for deploying millions of AI Agents on the NEAR blockchain.

It’s also building the underlying protocol for agents to interact and transact with one another at high degrees of complexity.

NEAR is….

Scalable. User-friendly. Decentralized.

….the AI-native L1

NEAR AI Ecosystem - What Did You Ship This Week? #17

Read.
Write.
Own.
AI.

NEAR was built because the internet wasn’t working for people anymore.
FORK THAT isn’t just a slogan. It’s a choice.
You can build a new internet.
And you can do it on NEAR.

NEAR is the blockchain for AI:

It can scale to accommodate millions of agents, and it has the infrastructure to allow those agents to transact across any other blockchain or digital asset.

The first of many IRL Fork That moments.

We're kicking things off at Permissionless with our intimate BUIDL x Fork That Dinner, co-hosted with @ericaplanet. Bringing together builders, visionaries, storytellers, and changemakers who care about what's next.

Let's fork it up 🍴🍻

Building is a choice.
Control is a choice.
Ownership is a choice.

Fork it.
Choose differently. Choose NEAR.

there is a quiet Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi) renaissance happening on NEAR

NEAR isn’t yelling. 
It’s shipping fast, modular, agent-native infra so seamless, you forget it’s even there.

But now? It’s time to get loud 🔊 

Because Kaito Yaps for NEAR are live.
→ Drop quality takes on NEAR 
→ Farm yaps, not engagement traps 
→ Earn while you talk

FORK THAT to empty hype. Yap for NEAR. Earn for real.

user-owned AI on NEAR is: private. cheap. verifiable. scalable.

and built for only you or your company to use and monetize as you see fit 👊

Stablecoins, especially dollar stablecoins, can help everyday families by making remittances faster, safer, and cheaper, and protecting their savings from inflation, but regulation, including this act, shouldn’t place too much of a compliance burden on cryptocurrency startups, and should ensure the right of ordinary citizens to privacy. - @lrettig comments on the GENIUS Act and how it could bring trillions in institutional crypto capital.

We call that forking the financial future.

Crypto UX is broken, and @AlexAuroraDev is calling it out.

Bridges, wallets, gas... stuck in the dial-up era.
The fix? Intents.

A shift from action-based pain to outcome-driven design.

Pay, swap, or move assets by just saying what you want.

That future is agentic. And it's being built on NEAR.

600ms block time, 8 shards live on mainnet, and a powerful account model has made NEAR known across crypto for it's tech stack...

are you ready to see an equally strong community and culture?

NEAR is the lifeboat and fortress for user-owned AI 🏰

Governance on NEAR has a packed roadmap for 2025. Stay on the lookout for House of Stake 1.0 going live later this year!

P.S. Don’t sleep on the AI Assistant

the future of DeFi will run on NEAR Intents

The super-powers of the NEAR Account model include:

📍 named accounts
🗝️ key rotation and recovery
🗃️ abstracted onboarding
🚨 flexible permissions

exactly what you need to power the future of DeFi on NEAR Intents, or millions of agents working autonomously
