What is NEAR?

Open infrastructure for the agent economy

NEAR combines cross-chain execution, confidential settlement, private inference, and a secure agent harness — co-founded by Illia Polosukhin, co-author of "Attention Is All You Need".

The agent economy

AI agents need secure infrastructure. NEAR is built for exactly that.

⛓

Chain Abstraction

One account, any chain. NEAR Intents routes across 35+ networks with sub-cent fees.

🔒

Private Execution

TEE-secured enclaves ensure not even the host can read your agent's logic or data.

🤖

AI Native

Agents with hardware guarantees — built for a world where AI runs critical infrastructure.

Built for AI

Private. Scalable. Yours.

IronClaw sandboxes tools and isolates credentials inside hardware-enforced TEEs. Your secrets never reach the model — not even the host can read them.

Interactive

Pull toward what matters

Hover over the button — it attracts to your cursor with spring physics. A detail that makes interfaces feel alive.

Common questions

Chain abstraction lets you interact with any blockchain from a single NEAR account — no bridging, no managing multiple wallets or gas tokens. NEAR Intents handles the routing.

Yes. NEAR Protocol, NEAR AI, and the majority of ecosystem tooling are open-source under Apache and MIT licenses. Contributions are welcome on GitHub.

Through dynamic sharding — the network automatically splits into parallel shards as load increases. Each shard processes transactions independently, and cross-shard communication is handled by the protocol.

A Trusted Execution Environment is a hardware-secured enclave where code runs in total isolation — not even the host machine operator can read what's inside. NEAR AI uses TEEs for private inference.

NEAR AI combines private inference in hardware TEEs with a user-owned agent marketplace. Unlike centralized AI clouds, your data and your agent's logic never leave the secure enclave — not even the host machine operator can read them.

NEAR 2026 and beyond

The infrastructure choices we make now will determine what is possible later.
