About this video
Tired of complexity slowing you down? NEAR is designed for builders who want speed, simplicity, and real scalability. From chain abstraction to user-friendly tools, NEAR helps you ship faster without the headaches of other blockchains.

This is a chain abstractions tech that enables to use any blockchain in any application anywhere through a whole network of cryptographic guarantees. There's two components, right? Like one is the tech and the other one is the product, right? Um so chain signatures is cool. You've now got the signature scheme where you can use near to secure assets, but then what do you do with it?

This is something that allows near protocol to both connect to other blockchains and to the outer world and also hide itself and not stick itself to the face of the users and the agents that are working with it. You go to any other network, they're going to give you one lane. With near, that problem doesn't exist thanks to the ability to horizontally shard uh and scale. We give you the whole motorway and say off you go. Let rip as fast as you can. We promise there's no police or speed cameras watching you. And that's the power of virtual chain. And that

wouldn't be possible without needs infrastructure. For most people, crypto and blockchain are just means to an end. They have some desired goal and they want to achieve it. How they achieve it isn't as important to them. And so Near is probably the best setup protocol for solving that use case, which is the pain point that every user has no matter what chain you're on.

The goal is really unite the blockchains from a user experience perspective. Make them feel like one chain. Users should think in terms of assets, not chains. It was somehow natural to just just work with Near because their chain is optimized for communication between AI agents. I like the singular focus Near has shown uh towards AI that we'll make sure our chain is as good for AI as as possible.

As this is the internet for AI agents, it supports unifying the whole web three plane through chain signatures and chain abstraction. making sure that any agent, any AI system, any wallet that integrates uh AI is able to go and transact everywhere. The future will be that the wallets are effectively fully chain abstracted.
