We need to talk about how we manage Full Access Keys for smart contract accounts on @NEARProtocol If you run a critical account like intents.near, your upgrade path usually comes down to two uncomfortable choices. You either keep a Full Access Key sitting on someone’s hardware wallet, which is just a human-shaped single point of failure, or build custom upgrade logic into the contract and pray a bad state migration never bricks it. The fix isn't hiding the seed phrase better. @Freol wrote about a clean setup for this a while ago using SputnikDAO and NEAR MPC. Instead of a single person holding a god key, an MPC public key is derived for the DAO account and attached as a Full Access Key to the contract account. When you need to push a patch: ✦ Generate the raw, unsigned DeployContract transaction payload for the contract account ✦ Request the multisig to sign the transaction with MPC ✦ If the multisig proposal is approved by the voting members, the multisig calls the MPC contract to sign it ✦ NEAR CLI combines the unsigned transaction with the resulting signature and submits it to the network The full private key never exists in one place, and no one holds it. Governance approves. MPC signs. The network executes.

Your Trezu treasury can now earn yield on @rhea_finance! Rhea is NEAR's most powerful DeFi hub, bringing together swaps, lending, and yield under one roof with over $130M in TVL. Just connect your treasury as a wallet directly in their UI and start earning on assets you're already holding. Live now on our new Earn page 😎

New tool for app-level cross-chain execution ⚡️ Aurora’s Intents Connect is powered by @near_intents, but targets a different layer than the 1Click API. ✦ 1Click API is mainly about getting the right asset to the right chain ✦ Intents Connect is about what happens after that

Isolation == security

Not sure who needs a reminder but this is the curated entry point into the NEAR ecosystem: github.com/near/awesome-near Everything in one place - from first faucet to production infra. Skip the random repos. Start here and don’t waste hours digging through noise ✅

The pace of release is not slowing down. 🛡️🦞 v0.26.0 is out! Keep up the good work 🔥

Instead of watching another “agent stack” thread built on APIs you don’t control, watch this 36-minute guide on a fully sovereign AI agent running 24/7 on a $160 Raspberry Pi 5 using IronClaw. Bookmark & give it 30 mins, no matter what. It’ll be the most productive thing you do

Manage multisig assets without the desktop tether. Your treasury is now as mobile as your wallet.

I had a moment last week that's hard to explain if you're not a developer. But I'll try - because a year ago if someone told me adding a new blockchain to my app would take a single file rename, I'd assume they were high. I was adding cross-chain wallet support to NEAR FM. Started with Solana - built the deposit, swap, and withdrawal flows through NEAR Intents. Everything worked. Then I sat down to add Ethereum support. Opened the code. Looked at the Solana integration. The deposit method is the same. The swap method is the same. The withdrawal method is the same. I renamed filename solana => cross_chain.rs That was the entire Ethereum integration. Same code. Same API. Same flow. Different chain. NEAR Intents abstracts the chain away completely. The blockchain your user is on becomes a parameter, not an architecture decision. This is what chain abstraction actually feels like when you build with it. Not a whitepaper concept. The moment where adding a new blockchain takes less time than writing this tweet. If you're a developer and haven't tried building on NEAR Intents - do it once. That rename moment will change how you think about cross-chain.

🚨 COMMUNITY UPDATE: Machine Payments Protocol hits the NEAR stack A dev on Reddit shared an MPP implementation (yes, the one from Stripe Tempo), but now it actually speaks NEAR What’s inside: ✦ HTTP 402 payment flow ✦ Axum middleware ✦ NEP-141 tokens NEAR Intents Outlayer. Agent executes. Payment goes through delegated execution. Still a work in progress, but the core already works. You can try the demo and share your feedback ✍️

Sovereign stack: - near(.)com for all assets kept confidentially in non custodial wallet - near(.)ai for confidential ai inference and agent hosting IronClaw for everything else. Doesn’t have to be hard.

Triggering an Ethereum tx without touching ETH. That’s NEAR Chain Signatures Tachyon. MPC signs. Derived address executes. One NEAR account. No EOAs mess.

🚨 Update: Shade Agent Framework After April 19, 2026, the Shade Agent Framework by @proximityfi will no longer be maintained as a standalone developer tool. ✦ Development focus is shifting to new priorities ✦ Docs are moving to the GitHub monorepo ✦ The framework stays open source, but without active support Teams using it in production should plan for self-maintenance or migration to alternative solutions.

1000 likes and ill work over-overtime to integrate @NEARProtocol into @infinex

NEAR Intents product is actually consists of three core layers powered by NEAR tech: - asset layer - holding and moving assets across different chains - settlement layer - intents smart contract and soon escrow with ton more features to settle matches intents at 600ms - matching layer - broadcast intent and match with a solver based on originator requirements Plus 1 click swap API - which is the easiest gasless api for exchanging assets, bridging or paying. Asset layer is built using Chain Signature - a MPC that is controlled by near contracts. This means that any account or contract on NEAR can have public addresses, hold assets and issue transactions for other chains. It’s as if each NEAR account and contract got a Fireblocks account. There are other use cases for this asset layer - simplest one is bridging assets from NEAR out to other chains (OmniBridge). This allowed to bring ZEC to Solana. @TemplarProtocol using it to hold deposits in isolated lending pools. It’s fully programmable and effectively makes NEAR the easiest place to build multichain apps.

I have recently got the LED backpack and it was a great icebreaker for the conferences NEAR for the win!

Attention is All You Need... 👀

Been pushing hard the last few days to get @NEARProtocol intents working inside @BitteProtocol and honestly, it really feels like we’re finally getting close to a true chain-agnostic experience You can just say: “Swap 100 USDC to Base” The agent sees your balance, understands your intent, and makes it happen regardless of chain Same flow works across @solana , @arbitrum, @gnosischain, @dogecoin, btc and probably very soon @SuiNetwork The nice thing is this is coded as a primitive, so anyone building agents can add it to their stack instantly without having to do anything Watching this work in production makes it feel like the future’s not that far off Should be live in the next couple days Demo below 👇
