A growing share of commerce and workflows will route through agents acting for you.
Two questions follow: who owns the value they generate, and who sees the data behind it.
NEAR AI keeps your data confidential. IronClaw runs your agents so secrets never reach the model.
GLM-5.2 is now live on NEAR AI.
Frontier level open-source performance. Verifiable privacy. Hardware-signed attestation.
Code stays protected inside confidential infrastructure instead of becoming training data for someone else’s platform.

Privacy is a requirement for financial markets.
Lending, borrowing, trading, and payments at scale all depend on confidentiality.
As more capital moves onchain, confidential execution becomes a foundational part of the infrastructure.
From the 2017 transformer paper to building a full user-owned internet stack : Illia and everyone in the team have laid this foundation brick by brick over 10 years.
Look at the progress: nearAI powering intelligence, Intents for universal execution, the sharded Protocol for settlement, onchain governance, and near:native capturing real value.
Every layer is now live and compounding toward the agent economy.
This is the infrastructure for a truly open internet. ---What a journey.🥳
The best infrastructure disappears into the background.
NEAR Intents powers swaps across wallets, aggregators, and trading interfaces, connecting liquidity from 35+ chains through one unified network.
One liquidity layer. Reachable everywhere.
Using AI shouldn’t require giving up privacy.
NEAR AI now automatically detects and anonymizes sensitive information before it leaves your device. You can use popular frontier models without handing them passwords, API keys, and other sensitive info.
“Agents will be your interface to use blockchain, and you may not even know you are using blockchain” - @ilblackdragon
NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin joined The @SmartEconomyPod to discuss how AI agents will become blockchain’s primary users.
All-time volume on NEAR Intents just crossed $20 billion.
This milestone is the result of a series of technical breakthroughs that removed some of the biggest constraints in cross-chain execution.
A deep dive on Intents' rapid momentum 🧵
Creating AI agents is one thing.
Deploying them in production is a different frontier entirely.
Join @getfailsafe, @near_ai, and AWS on June 4th for an evening focused on the security, reliability, infrastructure, and trust requirements for enterprise agentic systems.
Quantum is coming.
And most systems weren’t designed for the shift.
Upgrading cryptography at internet scale will be no small task.
