NEAR
Also appeared as NEAR Protocol
NEAR is a modular, high-speed protocol designed for AI to act on behalf of users. Not just compute, but transact, coordinate, and evolve. On NEAR, AI serves as the front end to interface with users and carry out intent, while our blockchain acts as the backend to handle identity, trust, and data.
