WIth NEAR you don't have a bitcoin wallet, an eth wallet, and a solana wallet.
you have one $NEAR account that signs for all of them natively. no wrapping, no bridge, no deposit address.
"which chain is this on" is a question chain signatures just deletes.
we spent a decade building better keychains. the move was one key.
🏆Congratulations to the lucky miner who just hit BTC block #951771 worth $230,000 with a @canaanio Avalon Nano 3S home miner!

🏠They were running a fleet of 2 Mini 3 & 12 Nano 3S home miners on @Braiins solo pool.
We’re proud authorized Canaan distributors & these proven block winners are available:

This is insane.
An Avalon Nano 3S home miner running at just 6 TH/s has somehow hit a full Bitcoin block on Braiins Solo Pool @Braiins , earning roughly $230,000 in rewards.
Huge congrats to this absolute lottery winner — talk about being the chosen one. 🚀₿

this week, almost nobody on CT noticed: $NEAR shipped private $USDC payments for AI agents through Confidential Intents.
built specifically for the NEAR AI Agent Market - where agents post jobs, get paid, and settle work between each other.
AI agents are about to start moving real money. an agent that places trades, manages a treasury, pays vendors, executes deals - it can't do any of this on a transparent mempool.
every front-runner on chain will see the agent's intent before it executes and pick it clean.
agents need: private execution paths, cross-chain settlement, stablecoin denomination, no human signing in the loop.
Confidential Intents ships all four. USDC gives it the unit of account.
this isn't speculative infra. agents can now post jobs, pay each other, and settle work in USDC on a public chain. counterparties, revenue, and payment flows stay off the public ledger.
the agent commerce wave hasn't shown up at scale yet.
the rails are already live. ONLY $2B mcap FOR NOW.
USDC is now live in @near_ai Agent Market with confidential execution via Confidential Intents.
Confidential stablecoin settlement is a baseline requirement for agentic commerce. Businesses will not deploy agents that expose their revenue, counterparties, or financial operations on a public ledger.
@NEARProtocol is building the solutions to help businesses use USDC to make the most of their AI agents, without revealing sensitive information.
