NEAR ($NEAR) is a high-performance layer-1 blockchain now positioned as the execution layer for AI-native apps, agents, and cross-network interactions. Join the airdrop to share 50,000 USDT in rewards on WEEX before May 14, 2026!


What is NEAR?

NEAR is a proof-of-stake layer-1 blockchain founded by Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov. The project originally focused on scalability and developer usability, and its official website now presents it as "the blockchain for AI."

The current NEAR positioning combines chain abstraction, intents-based UX, and sharded infrastructure for AI-native applications. According to the official site, NEAR is designed so agents can own assets, make decisions, and transact across networks while the blockchain handles identity, trust, and execution in the background.

The visible product stack includes NEAR AI, Intents and Chain Abstraction, and sharded infrastructure. The documentation also highlights developer-friendly accounts, low-friction onboarding, and the ability to use NEAR as the settlement layer for applications that need speed, scalability, and low-cost execution.

$NEAR is the protocol's native token. Official documentation states that it is used for staking, paying transaction and storage fees, acting as a unit of account, and serving as a medium of exchange inside the NEAR ecosystem.
