What is Near?

NEAR Protocol is a layer-1 blockchain designed as the execution layer for AI-native applications, enabling agents to own assets, make decisions, and transact freely across networks. Its modular, sharded infrastructure delivers global-scale performance with finality in under 600ms. NEAR provides a platform for developers to create decentralized applications with built-in chain abstraction — simplifying blockchain UX by handling routing, signing, and execution across any chain without requiring wallets, bridges, or tokens. The NEAR stack includes AI protocols, compute, and infrastructure for running autonomous agents with encrypted model execution and verifiable compute. NEAR is an open-source, community-driven project building toward an open AI economy where AI serves people, not platforms.
