Say gm to the largest technological step toward NEAR's vision.

Say gm to stateless validation.

Say gm to Nightshade 2.0 🌺

NEAR Protocol's novel sharding design has been successfully upgraded and is live on Mainnet.
gm, stateless validation: an innovative approach to validating state transition, or the process of updating the status of all the data posted to the blockchain.

Now, NEAR validators no longer have to maintain the state of a shard locally.
gm, scalability & usability improvements: Nightshade 2.0 Improves single-shard performance significantly and adds capacity for more shards.

NEAR currently has 6 shards with a target of 10 shards by the end of 2024.
gm, NEAR vision: Upgrades NEAR’s already high-performance and scalable infrastructure to support the growing number of users and activities in the NEAR ecosystem, including consumer apps, Chain Abstraction, modularity, DeFi, and User-Owned AI, to a billion users and beyond. Image

Chain Abstraction, the final frontier

The day has arrived. NEAR Protocol’s Chain Signatures tech has moved into mainnet.

We’re ready to move forward. Together. To a Chain Abstracted future.

It’s time to tear down the barriers to entry, liquidity, and usability.

Cont...
Chain Signatures allow the signing of any transaction on any blockchain directly from your NEAR Account.

Today, Chain Signatures launch for Bitcoin, Ethereum (and any EVM chain), Dogecoin, XRP, Cosmos, Polkadot, and more. Any ECDSA based chain is compatible.

Solana and more launching soon™Image
With Chain Signatures, you can:

Use your NEAR Account to interact with (almost) any chain
Unlock bridgeless Omnichain DeFi
Launch Omnichain tokens - one token with issuance on multiple chains

And so much more.

As of now, there are dozens of teams building with NEAR’s Chain Signatures tech, let’s take a look at some of them:

“Divide et vince”

-Julius Caesar

Divide and conquer. A tactic used by those in power for millennia.

United we stand, divided we fall.

There has never been a more pivotal time to unite against big tech & data tyrants.

“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”

Hardcoded into the original Bitcoin block, Satoshi gifted Bitcoin to the people as a weapon of mass reconstruction. A way to build a better system. A way to reclaim your financial sovereignty.

For too long, Web3 has been divided by tribalism.

We have lost sight of the end goal: a truly open digital world.
Not a world in which big tech, surveillance states, or corporate interests, have control over what you see, hear, and do.

And, soon, as control of the world’s most powerful technology, Artificial Intelligence, converges into the hands of the few; what you think.Image

So, you're heading to Brussels for @ETHCC, huh?

There's more than beer and fries with mayo, there's a whole host of NEAR events to look out for.

Take a look at what to expect and start registering for events before they fill up: Image
@EthCC NEAR Foundation's flagship side event, Chain Abstraction Day, is heading to Brussels on July 10th.

Don't miss talks and networking with industry leaders and super geeks in the Web3 world. Only a handful of spots remain.

With @Agoric & @ParticleNtwrk

Through the power of Chain Abstraction and a fist bump, NEAR's tech is connecting dozens of Ethereum L2s.

This is the essence of @DapDapMeUp, connecting users to a world of Ethereum L2s and dApps through a single, seamless, interface.
DapDap is a universal gateway to Ethereum L2s and multiple Web3 protocols. By consolidating the user journey of multiple dApps into a single interface, DapDap enhances discoverability, simplifies onboarding, and abstracts individual interactions.

dapdap.mirror.xyz/-_KglFeVLqHvP6…
Why DapDap?

Ethereum L2s were introduced to help the protocol scale, but fragmentation ensued with over 50 active L2s and 40+ more in development. DapDap streamlines the user experience by uniting the L2 ecosystem on a single interface, reducing friction and barriers.

Why did the #1 most used consumer crypto project ditch @stripe for NEAR?

(hint: because big tech owns you)

KAI-Ching by @Cosmose_ has consistently ranked as a leading dApp by # of users since launching in 2023.

Today, let's zoom into Cosmose AI:
THE PROBLEM
Consumers are stripped of the ownership of their data by user-generated data-driven apps, without getting rewarded for their engagement.

THE SOLUTION
Build an ecosystem that rewards users for their engagement whilst ensuring they retain ownership of their data.
CORE PLATFORMS
KAIKAINOW: AI-powered, personalized mobile lockscreen with interactive content.

KAIKAI: AI-powered marketplace connecting users to curated deals.

KAI-Ching: Integrated reward system, using $KAIC to reward users for engagement on KAIKAINOW, or purchases on KAIKAI
