NEAR @NEARProtocol Keywords for these two days: Intents Expansion + Sharding Upgrade + Market Digestion Period. Intents has supported Stellar, changing BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP and other assets from 20+ chains and 100+ assets without bridges and packages to Stellar applications in one step, truly turning the intention of "what I want to do" into an execution path. This is a qualitative change experience for AI agents, payments and settlements. The mainnet has also just increased sharding from 8→9 to +12.5% throughput, making room for multi-chain intent traffic. The price side $NEAR fluctuated around $2.6 for nearly 24 hours, a typical digestion period of "fundamental → application undertaking after the upgrade". Next, let's look at who is using it and where it is used: cross-border acquiring? Game built-in exchange? AI wallet is inductive cross-chain? - Which chain/type of application would you most like Intents to connect to? #NEAR #Intents #Stellar #ChainAbstraction

Quickly protect your rights @cysic_xyz Why were so many articles written and then directly taken down by @KaitoAI? What’s going on? They were already on the charts for 7d, 30d, and 3m. Is there anyone official who can respond?!! Also, while chatting with a friend, he complained to me: "The plan written by AI had some logical issues, but I couldn't see it at the time and almost submitted it. Later, I got scolded by my boss, saying, 'AI can make things up, how can you trust it completely?'" I laughed at the time: this is like when everyone used to transfer money, relying on screenshots saying 'the money was sent,' only to find out it never arrived. Without proof, no matter how beautiful it looks, it doesn't count. This is what @Mira_Network aims to do—provide AI answers with a 'receipt,' so you no longer need to trust blindly, but can verify: In the future, AI won't be 'the one that decides,' but rather 'it can only speak after it calculates.'

Dive deeper into Near Protocol

In 2020, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector saw significant growth, leading to a surge of decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network. This surge underscored some of Ethereum's scalability challenges, pointing to the necessity for a more robust solution. Responding to this need, Near Protocol emerged as a community-oriented cloud computing platform aiming to mitigate these constraints.

What is Near Protocol 

NEAR is a community-driven cloud computing platform that adopts the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. With its user-friendly interface and smart contract capabilities, NEAR seeks to empower developers to effortlessly design and deploy innovative dApps and DeFi solutions. Furthermore, its unique design allows users to engage with dApps and smart contracts without requiring a wallet.

The Near Protocol team

Erik Trautman, an entrepreneur boasting Wall Street experience and founder of Viking Education, pioneered NEAR. Alongside him are co-founders Illia Polusukhin, a former Google employee, and Alexander Skidanov, an ex-Microsoft staffer. Under their leadership, NEAR has amassed a skilled cohort of developers, featuring International Collegiate Programming Contest gold medalists.

How does Near Protocol work

Utilizing sharding technology, NEAR improves transaction speed and volume. By distributing its computational load across multiple shards, each node runs only the relevant code for its assigned shard, optimizing scalability. NEAR's Blockchain Operating System (BOS), grounded in JavaScript, ensures developers can use a familiar programming language. The platform provides ready-made components, facilitating quicker product development. Moreover, users can swiftly access the system without needing to own or use cryptocurrency.

NEAR tokenomics

NEAR's native token, NEAR, was launched on October 13, 2020, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The token offers several use cases, from paying transaction gas fees to staking for rewards. Additionally, it plays a role in governance, data storage, and access to services and applications on the Near Protocol.

NEAR distribution

NEAR was distributed in the following way:

  • 17.2 percent: Community grants and programs
  • 15.23 percent: Seed round
  • 14 percent: Core contributors
  • 11.76 percent: Early ecosystem development
  • 11.4 percent: Operation grants
  • 12 percent: Community sales
  • 10 percent: Foundation
  • 8.41 percent: Venture round

Near Protocol: The road ahead

Created for robustness and efficiency, NEAR offers a platform free from intermediaries, permitting users to independently publish and host applications. This commitment to progress is reflected in their Q3 2023 announcement, heralding phase 2 of sharding to enhance the sharding process and improve scalability.
