Gate News Bot Update, February 26 — According to CoinMarketCap data, at press time, NEAR (NEAR Protocol) is trading at $1.17, up 16.48% in the past 24 hours.

NEAR is a modular high-speed protocol designed for AI, serving as the execution layer for AI-native applications. It enables intelligent agents to hold assets, make decisions, and trade freely across networks. NEAR’s vision is to build a better internet path where AI is not confined to closed corporate systems. Agents can operate freely, trade securely, and protect user privacy.
NEAR empowers developers through multiple core technologies: NEAR AI provides the protocols, computing, and infrastructure needed for autonomous agents, supporting encrypted model execution, verifiable computation, and cross-chain operations; intent and chain abstraction technologies simplify blockchain user experience, with agents defining outcomes while NEAR handles cross-chain routing, signing, and execution in the background—no wallet, bridging, or tokens required; dynamic sharding infrastructure achieves global-level performance with finality times under 600 milliseconds, designed for low latency, parallel execution, and thousands of concurrent agents.
Reasons developers choose NEAR include: accelerating deployment with modular SDKs and open agent infrastructure; skipping wallet UX, bridging, and blockchain friction; deploying privacy-first, user-owned applications; and entering the growing AI-native ecosystem. Whether building assistants, agents, marketplaces, or coordination tools, NEAR simplifies complexity, allowing developers to focus on creating truly usable experiences.
