The future of AI should belong to all of us.
We’re at a fork in the road. AI is transforming every aspect of our lives, and a handful of companies are racing to own it.
To own you. That future looks closed, extractive, and controlled.
We say, fork that future.
NEAR offers a fundamentally different path: permissionless, privacy-preserving, and truly user-owned. Because the future of AI should belong to everyone.

Why is Big AI a threat, and how does NEAR change the game?
Big AI hoards data, models, and compute power, leaving the public locked out. NEAR offers an alternative: a platform that’s not just scalable, but open source, verifiable, and governed by a global community — not dictated from a boardroom.
Why is the AI economy so hard to access for startups and developers, and how does NEAR change that?
Today’s closed AI platforms are built for investors and insiders — not communities of builders and contributors. NEAR solves the challenges around open source sustainability and monetization by unlocking access to the value layer of AI, empowering anyone to build, contribute, and participate economically through tokens, staking, and on-chain coordination. In an open AI economy, we can create more value and more opportunities together.
How does NEAR protect your data and identity in the age of AI?
Unlike platforms that treat your data as a product, NEAR is built to protect it. You control your identity and assets through self-custodial accounts. And with secure AI agents that process your data privately in trusted environments, NEAR puts you, not platforms, in charge.
Why is NEAR the most powerful blockchain for AI?
Some blockchains are retrofitting for AI, but NEAR was built from day one to power it. Its unique architecture combines fast speeds, low costs, and native scalability — so developers can build high-volume, AI-powered apps without hitting performance limits.
What makes NEAR a true frontier for builders?
NEAR provides proven infrastructure where builders can experiment, innovate, deploy, and scale—without walls or gatekeepers. Its unique design splits up work across the network efficiently so apps stay fast, and makes it easy for apps to work across multiple blockchains without extra complexity. Plus, with a programming architecture focused on goals rather than steps, builders can deploy intelligent agents that get things done.
The future of AI is on-chain. Build it on NEAR.
NEAR is built for the agentic future. If you want to build truly open, intelligent systems, there’s no smarter place to start.
