TL;DR
- $NEAR Completely free up supply and reduce inflation by 50%.
- $NEAR Intents settles over $13 billion in cross-chain transaction volume.
- $NEAR It will be the native payment token for AI services.
$NEAR protocol announced A series of updates to the tokenomics model to reflect the transition to a stage of economic maturity. After more than 5 years of uninterrupted mainnet operation at 100% uptime, the network has a completely unlocked supply, 50% maximum annual inflation reduction, and active on-chain governance with a house of stake.
of $NEAR ecosystem No longer works as traditional layer 1. The network is now positioning itself as a unified commerce layer for digital assets and agents, settling cross-chain transactions, powering native artificial intelligence applications, and providing scalable cryptographic solutions for execution and privacy.
Native products that generate on-chain revenue
Driven by two core products $NEARNew economic model: $NEAR intention and $NEAR A.I.. Both tools generate recurring revenue that flows directly into the protocol, unlike models that rely solely on external applications to capture value.
$NEAR Intents serve as a general-purpose fluidity protocol that allows users and agents to express desired outcomes without managing complex execution paths. The platform has already settled over $13 billion in cross-chain transaction volume, establishing itself as the payment infrastructure for global cryptocurrency liquidity flows.
The profit mechanism is $NEAR Intents includes an automated sharing system with third-party distribution channels. All payments are in currency $NEARenhances tokens as account units for generated fees.. The protocol has already generated over $1 million in revenue. $NEAR Repurchase.
$NEAR AI extends the economic reach to confidential and verifiable infrastructure for agent-driven markets. Payments for computing and inference services are as follows: $NEARthe agent requests the following $NEAR Manipulate and maintain state. Integrations with Brave, OpenMind, and Phala demonstrate enterprise adoption of this infrastructure.
Community-managed financial structures receive income from: $NEAR It has the ability to introduce assets into the product. $NEAR buybacks, staking, or other supply management strategies. Governance retains full discretion over when and how these tools are applied.
$NEAR position $NEAR As an anchor for the AI economy and agent commerce. Tokens simultaneously serve as a payment asset, a unit of account for protocol services, and a coordination mechanism for governance and security. As usage grows, this role will be strengthened through economic processes authorized by transparent governance.
