NEP-639 introduces dynamic resharding to the NEAR protocol, replacing the manual hardcoded shard splits used today. In this call, Adam walks through the proposal, subject matter experts Andrea and Shreyan share their analysis, the community asks questions, and the NEP is voted through.

Privy Near Connect gives you email-based control of NEAR accounts with about three configuration steps. This walkthrough covers what it does, how to drop it into a dapp, and what the production signing experience looks like for mainstream users.

Julian Carbonnell is a tech entrepreneur with a PhD in urban science who's spent years working across real estate, smart cities, governance, and machine learning. His latest project, Nova, is a decentralized file sharing SDK built on NEAR that lets users upload encrypted data once, control exactly who can access it…

In this session of the NEAR Protocol Working Group, contributors review NEP-611, a proposal introducing Gas Keys and a Pending Transaction Queue to improve transaction validation and protect the network from spam and denial-of-service attacks.

In this video, I walk through a hands-on setup of OpenClaw running on NEAR AI inside trusted execution environments (TEEs), showing how to deploy a private AI agent with true user-owned data and strong privacy guarantees.

Build a full dApp on NEAR using AI — in under 60 seconds. ⚡

What happens when AI agents get their own wallets? 🤖💰

2025 is coming to an end and it has been a special year for $NEAR, with many positive developments. Core and ecosystem devs continued shipping despite poor market conditions, which deserves hats off.

Episode 4 of the NEAR Rabbit Hole goes deep on one of the most powerful shifts happening in crypto right now: chain abstraction. NEAR is rapidly becoming the universal liquidity layer and the engine that makes cross-chain interactions feel invisible, instant, and effortless.

Episode 3 of the NEAR Rabbit Hole goes straight into the heart of why NEAR matters in the AI era. Data ownership, verifiable code, and decentralization are no longer nice-to-haves. They are existential requirements when the dominant AI tools are centralized, opaque, and harvesting user data at an unprecedented scale.

Episode 2 of the NEAR Rabbit Hole digs into one of the most important shifts happening in tech today: the rise of an AI-based agentic economy and how NEAR is building the infrastructure to power it.

In this episode Shai and Jaswinder join Elliot to talk about global contracts on NEAR, and they also showcase and deploy an NFT Global Contract!

Welcome to Episode 1 of the NEAR Rabbit Hole. This series takes you step by step into the world of NEAR Protocol, why it stands apart, and how its tech stack is reshaping what blockchains can do.

The first 3 episodes of Building in Public - watch the NEAR Builder Ops team prototype and build the new NEAR Merch Store from scratch!

Learn what goes into a full stack verifiable AI DAO built with the Shade Agent Framework.

In this Contract Standards meeting, the NEAR community discusses NEP-621, the proposed Tokenized Vault standard—NEAR’s equivalent of Ethereum’s ERC-4626. Edward from Meteor Wallet presents the proposal, outlining how it defines standardized vault behavior for deposits, share tokens, and redemptions. The session dives…

Josh from NEAR Dev walks through NEAR Intents 102, a hands-on workshop showing how to create and broadcast user intents using the One-Click API and TypeScript SDK.

Josh from NEAR Dev shares major progress on NEAR Protocol’s scalability roadmap for 2025. From shipping new shards and cutting block times to developing fully dynamic sharding and modular consensus, NEAR is setting new benchmarks for performance and interoperability.

Tolga joins Joe to demo NEAR Playground, a browser IDE that compiles, deploys, and calls NEAR smart contracts on testnet with no local setup. We cover the product’s goals, developer UX choices, open source roadmap, early usage stats, and how to use it for workshops and hackathons.

Protocol Working Group – September 24, 2025

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.

Need to ship faster on NEAR? Or find your next paid gig? Meet NEARN — a free gig-marketplace connecting global talent to NEAR projects.

AI can generate an app in minutes—but does that mean it’s worth using? In this episode, we explore Strawberry Computer, the “vibe coding” platform promising to make app creation as simple as describing your idea. It’s fast, flashy, and democratizing—but what happens when speed replaces craft?

For years, moving value across blockchains felt like crossing a rope bridge in the jungle — slow, nerve-wracking, and one misstep away from disaster. Billions have been lost to bridge hacks like Wormhole, Ronin, and Nomad. Even when they worked, the experience was clunky, expensive, and fragmented.
