Witness the birth of user-owned AI. In a world powered by Chain Abstraction. And reclaim your sovereignty. Cont...

The world is waking up to the need for user-owned AI.  What user-owned really means: -Privacy: all data belongs to you -Verifiability: when work is done on your behalf, you can prove what ran, on what data, with what model -Neutrality: equal access and neutral markets -Alignment: AI is on your side User-owned AI goes far beyond the model layer. It means a completely user-owned stack, from verifiable inference to private money rails to a secure agent harness to transparent governance and economics for the whole system. Layer by layer, NEAR has been building the user-owned AI stack for nearly a decade. It began with Illia’s pioneering work on the Transformer architecture, which underpins all major frontier models today, and the early recognition that the AI economy needed open infrastructure if users were going to have real power of choice.  NEAR made early architectural bets on sharded scalability, an account model, chain abstraction, and privacy that are now the foundation for agents to transact at scale while ensuring user sovereignty.  The demand for user-owned AI is growing. NEAR AI’s private inference powers Venice’s privacy-preserving AI platform, which has grown to over 3M registered users. Major fintech platforms like Abound and the Government of Bermuda are integrating NEAR AI for applications where protecting sensitive user and citizen data is critical. NEAR AI Cloud also now provides anonymization and TEE-secured confidential inference for over 30 models, across major AI providers and open-source models.  The privacy renaissance we’ve been witnessing in DeFi is the opening act of a much larger, global shift toward a user-owned AI economy, where users demand sovereignty over their data, assets, and intelligence.  NEAR is building for that world, one where everyone has maximum leverage through AI, rather than a few companies owning the models and interfaces that own the data and decisions of billions. Not only are we witnessing a macro shift in user expectations, but also a whole new category of value taking shape. Given the proper rails, agents will not only streamline current value channels but create many new ones. The infrastructure that shares that value back with users is the infrastructure users truly own.

The deepest perps liquidity in crypto is now just one tap away inside your near.com account. Before: bridge to a chain, find the venue, fund a new wallet, then trade. Now: open near.com, turn on perps, trade. It’s that easy.

ICYMI, @rhea_finance just launched chain abstraction perps and it'ss interesting because it is not trying to be “another perp DEX.” ICYMI, @rhea_finance just launched chain abstraction perps and it'ss interesting because it is not trying to be “another perp DEX.” It is trying to make @HyperliquidX accessible from anywhere. The product is simple on the surface: Trade perps from any supported wallet or chain without bridging, network switching, or managing multiple accounts. Under the hood, Rhea Perps combines: → Hyperliquid for deep liquidity, execution, orderbook, funding, liquidation, and settlement → @NEARProtocol Intents for intent-based trade routing → Chain Signatures for chain-abstracted wallet/account access → Serve as the UX layer that hides the cross-chain complexity Simply put, Rhea Perps sits right at the intersection: Hyperliquid liquidity NEAR abstraction Rhea interface. For power users already native to Hyperliquid, the direct HL frontend may still be the best route. But for everyone else, especially users across NEAR, Solana, EVM chains, native BTC, and future agent-based flows, Rhea Perps could become a much easier gateway. The product is still very early, so the important things to watch are: → Rhea-specific volume and user growth → privacy/shielded trading rollout (yes this could be killer feature) → wallet and ecosystem integrations → potential $RHEA/xRHEA value accrual → security maturity after Rhea’s recent exploit history Bottom line: Rhea Perps is not a new liquidity silo. It is a UX and distribution layer for Hyperliquid. And if chain abstraction becomes the default way users interact with DeFi, products like this may be how perp trading moves from chain-specific apps to chain-agnostic access layers.

One account for anything Fragmentation it's the biggest problem in the market

Hypercore is now live on NEAR Intents. NEAR Intents integrators can now enable Hypercore for USDC deposits from any chain to Hyperliquid on their interfaces.

This is step one in our five step plan to bring confidential perps trading to the masses. You're not ready for what's next.
