2026 Roadmap
Building the Agentic Economy
NEAR is converging two complementary pillars into a single vision: crosschain financial infrastructure and autonomous AI agents. Together, they form the foundation for an economy where agents and humans transact freely — across any chain, with privacy by default.
Crosschain trading infrastructure that lets anyone swap any asset across any chain — with confidential execution, solver-powered pricing, and one-click access to yield, fiat, and financial primitives.
The platform for building, deploying, and monetizing autonomous AI agents — running privately in secure enclaves, persistently on-chain, and capable of executing real economic activity on behalf of users.
The core protocol R&D team — building and maintaining NEAR's blockchain infrastructure, from consensus and dynamic resharding to chain signatures and cross-chain bridging via OmniBridge.
