Near blockchain

NEAR is a modular, high-speed protocol where AI acts on users’ behalf while the blockchain handles identity, trust, and data.

Its dynamic sharding delivers sub-600ms finality and parallel execution, enabling low-latency experiences for thousands of agents.

Staking strengthens network security and performance while generating rewards for delegators.

With intent abstraction, NEAR simplifies UX: routing, signing, and multichain execution happen seamlessly in the background.

NEAR AI enables encrypted model execution, verifiable compute, and multichain actions, paving the way for reliable, scalable autonomous agents.

Near staking at a glance

Validators are near network’s block creators; delegate to trusted validators to earn interest from staking.

Delegation

Everyone can delegate their tokens to a validator’s pool—commonly known as staking. From one wallet, you can nominate several validators and receive rewards (interest). 

Decentralization

NEAR uses sharding to scale its blockchain by splitting the database into smaller shards managed by different validator groups. This boosts profitability, improves UX, and enables faster, efficient transactions while staying secure and more decentralized.

Cut your carbon footprint

Choose a validator running on green energy with carbon compensation to minimize your environmental impact.
