About Near Protocol

NEAR Protocol (ticker: NEAR) is a cryptocurrency designed to power the NEAR blockchain ecosystem, which focuses on scalability, user-friendliness, and enabling decentralized applications (dApps). It is built on a cutting-edge technology called sharding, which dynamically splits the network to handle high transaction volumes efficiently. This makes NEAR fast, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. NEAR is used for transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and governance participation, allowing holders to vote on network upgrades. Its ecosystem supports AI integration, cross-chain liquidity, and decentralized finance (DeFi) innovations, positioning NEAR as a versatile tool for developers and users.

I'm being asked what x402 is, so here's why you should care: a) Background: - The x402 protocol enables agents to make payments onchain @a16zcrypto 2025 "State of Crypto" Report specifically mentioned x402 in the context of agentic payments, which is anticipated to hit $30 trillion in autonomous txs value by 2030 - It's dubbed the "Payments MCP" [Model Context Protocol]; I'll link my MCP article below so you have an understanding, but the "quick and nasty" is that MCP enables agents to interact with real world data, so payments MCP enables agents to transact with their own wallet b) Backers: @coinbase + @Cloudflare - So you'll see the bulk of this activity on @Base; But it's also cross-chain (Solana, Polygon, Near etc) - It's why you've seen several @virtuals_io x402 agents pop off in the past few days - several of the ecosystem agents use the x402 protocol - The acquisition of Echo by Coinbase took centre stage earlier this week; but this is Coinbase AI Agent baby; and IMO (I'm biased) far bigger. Sorry @beast_ico c) Relevant x402 protocols: - @pingobserver - first token minted by x402 - @heurist_ai - @virtuals_io - @questflow - @AnchorBrowser - @GoKiteAI announced its partnership with @brevis_zk this week for privacy around payments with agents; it uses x402 - @Cloudflare Agents SDK + Google A2A payment protocol - @PayAINetwork - $DREAM (Virtuals) - $SANTA (Virtuals) - $GLORIA (Virtuals) - $AURA (Virtuals) Honestly the list could go on, so I'd advise researching before spraying and praying. NFA on these - they're simply affiliated with using the x402 and it doesn't necessarily mean value will accrue to these tokens. If anything it'll accrue to the protocol backers itself - COIN. You can check (see thumnail) d) Other Insights: 1) @circle has an ongoing relationship with Coinbase and the main currency transacted by these agents is Stablecoins to pay for compute etc. So as you can imagine USDC will likely be the stable of choice 2) Neo Banks are gearing up for AI Agent payments: - @Tether_to launched its wallet development kit; the tagline is that there's anticipated to be trillions of wallets. These obviously won't be human wallets, so I'll let you connect the dots - @useTria partnered with several AI protocols and this week with @billions_ntwk for zkKYC as privacy around payments comes to the forefront - @Visa + @Mastercard announced their AI Agent programs a few months ago and are rolling out the infra for trillions of transactions. Almost all of these Cards from these Neo Banks are VISA/Mastercard. - @PayPal ventures led the $18m Series A for Kite AI; PyUSD coming in hot here for agentic stablecoin usage? Next step: Robots will have their own crypto wallets with virtual cards to make payments in the real world. Welcome to physical AI! 3) @a16zcrypto report on AI referenced x402 specifically when talking about AI Agents and payments, anticipating $30 trillion in agentic purchases by 2030 Interesting quote: "x402 is what the internet was supposed to be - payments via https" - @_imhamzah 4) @RibbitCapital released their 2025 "Token Letter" which discusses agents + payments (see "knowledge" tab on their website): - Page 1/2: AI systems are economic participants that will earn and spend - P33/34: Stripe and upstarts like PayOS will capture a lot of value building this infra for agents - P33-35: Stablecoins and programmable money will be used by both humans and agents for payments and asset mgmt. - P39/40: AI agent payments will become new financial rails for autonomous entities TLDR: AI Agents + Payments is only going to get bigger. x402 is positioning itself at the enabler of this parabolic payment boom. The cats out of the bag, so how would you capitalize on the upside? Taking a cut in fees on trillions of txs isn't a bad idea.

Nobody’s talking about this, but @OneAnalog might be building the most slept-on Layer 0 in crypto. They’re not using bridges or relayers, they’re syncing all blockchains through Proof of Time. A Timechain network that connects liquidity, data, and assets across chains, using time as the universal consensus layer. Here’s why it matters: → $230M+ $ANLOG staked → 44.2% APY live → 60+ projects building → $36M+ raised → Backed by BNB Chain, Tribe Capital, NEAR, Orange DAO → Trading at just $0.0013 w/ $2.4M MC If even 10% of this plays out, it’s a primitive we’ll all be building on.

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.
