Near Returns to the AI Stage: Transformation into a Public Chain Due to 'Payroll Difficulties,' Agent and Privacy Emerge as New Growth Narratives

NEAR Returns to AI Origins: From Payroll Struggles to Blockchain, Now Focusing on AI Agents and Privacy NEAR Protocol's journey began not with grand blockchain ambitions, but from a practical hurdle: its AI startup founders, including Transformer paper co-author Illia Polosukhin, couldn't efficiently pay international developers in 2017. This led them to pivot and build a high-performance, scalable blockchain. After years navigating various crypto narratives like sharding and cross-chain interoperability, NEAR is now leveraging its AI roots to re-enter the AI arena. A key driver is its "NEAR Intents" layer, which abstracts complex cross-chain transactions. Users simply state their goal (e.g., swap BTC for ETH), and a solver network finds the optimal route. This system has processed over $20B in cross-chain volume, generating significant fee revenue. A major growth area is private transactions via "Confidential Intents/Swaps," which hide trade details until settlement to protect against MEV and front-running. Remarkably, private swaps recently accounted for over 40% of NEAR's transaction volume, highlighting strong demand but also potential regulatory scrutiny. With its AI-founder pedigree, NEAR is positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, AI agents, and privacy, aiming to become infrastructure for the emerging agent economy while navigating the challenges of its rapid adoption.

Behind NEAR's Doubling: Three Major Catalysts Driving the Token Price

NEAR token's price surged from $1.24 to over $2.5 in May 2026, significantly outperforming the broader market. This rally is driven by three key factors: 1) A strong AI narrative, bolstered by co-founder Illia Polosukhin's background as a co-author of the seminal Transformer paper and NEAR's strategic focus on decentralized AI infrastructure. 2) The launch of privacy features like Confidential Payments and Confidential Intents within the NEAR Intents layer, enabling private cross-chain transfers for major assets and addressing MEV concerns. 3) A sustainable tokenomics model with nearly 100% circulation unlocked and a new buyback mechanism where all protocol fees from the growing NEAR Intents ecosystem (with TVL exceeding $80M) are used to repurchase and stake NEAR tokens, reducing sell-side pressure.

Behind NEAR's Doubling: Three Major Trends Fueling Its Price Surge

NEAR's price has recently doubled, driven by three key catalysts. First, its strong AI narrative: co-founder Illia Polosukhin co-authored the foundational Transformer paper, and NEAR has integrated AI into its super-app, positioning it as decentralized AI infrastructure. Second, it has evolved into a privacy-focused chain, launching features like Confidential Payments to enable private cross-chain transfers, balancing privacy with usability for institutional and DeFi users. Third, its tokenomics are bolstered by a buyback mechanism: with full circulation achieved and inflation halved, fees from the NEAR Intents layer are used to repurchase NEAR tokens, reducing sell pressure. Combined with a recovering TVL exceeding $80 million, these factors are fueling NEAR's current market outperformance.

NEAR Doubles: 3 Major Trends Become the 'Engine' for Token Price Surge

NEAR token price surged from around $1.24 in early May to over $2.5, with its market cap returning above $3 billion. This significant growth, occurring amidst broader market volatility, is attributed to three key factors. First, the AI narrative has been a major driver. NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin is a co-author of the seminal Transformer paper, the foundation of modern AI models like ChatGPT. NEAR has integrated AI capabilities into its ecosystem, notably through the Near.com super-app, positioning itself as a key decentralized AI infrastructure project. Endorsements from figures like Arthur Hayes further boosted market sentiment. Second, NEAR is enhancing its utility as a privacy-focused blockchain. With the launch of NEAR Intents for cross-chain transactions, privacy features like Confidential Payments and Confidential Intents have become critical to protect users from MEV attacks. These functionalities allow private transfers of assets like ETH and BTC across more than 35 chains, balancing privacy with usability and appealing to institutional and enterprise users. Third, a new tokenomics mechanism is providing buy-side pressure. Following the full unlocking of its initial supply in late 2025, NEAR now employs a fee-burn model. All protocol fees generated by the NEAR Intents layer are used to buy back and effectively remove NEAR tokens from circulation. With NEAR Intents TVL exceeding $80 million, this creates consistent monthly buybacks estimated around $3 million, reducing sell pressure. Additional technical upgrades planned for mid-2026, including dynamic re-sharding and post-quantum security, aim to further strengthen the network's scalability and robustness.
