NEAR Protocol

The problem? AI is taking over the world. And it's happening behind closed doors at Big Tech HQ. The solution? NEAR.

Wait, it's all sharded and offering unparalleled scalability for a trillion AI agents? Actually, no. But NEAR is.

Illia & Alex discuss the latest AI research topics and unpack some NEAR.AI focus areas.

The NEAR layer-1 blockchain has been front and center on two of the most impactful trends in digital assets: a) Chain abstraction and b) Crypto x AI. 👇🏽 While chain abstraction enables any NEAR Protocol account holder to sign transactions across any blockchain, the Crypto x AI initiative positions NEAR as the foundational layer of a user-owned internet in the AI era. It’s an interesting strategy. Already today, NEAR has evolved into one of the leading consumer chains, supporting over 3.6 million daily active addresses driven by popular consumer apps like Kaikai, Playember, and Sweat. But it’s not just for consumers - NEAR is also attracting institutional clients through projects like TruFin and Libre: TruFin offers institutional-grade liquid staking. Libre enables access to previously restricted asset classes, like hedge funds and money market funds, bringing them on-chain. Today, it’s with great joy that we announce our partnership with NEAR for the upcoming Digital Assets Season. Together, we’ll dive deep into how enterprises will leverage blockchain technology in the age of AI and how tools like Chain Signatures significantly decrease the complexities of this technology.

Wait, it's all sharded? Always has been. Dynamic resharding enables unparalleled scalability. Boiled down with less buzzwords below:

NEAR will be home to trillions of AI agents. But how, Sensei?! It's called true scalability via sharding. Codename: Nightshade.

We are witnessing a paradigm shift. One in which NEAR will be the major facilitator. You will know when it comes.
