## One line

NEAR is an open blockchain infrastructure platform built to support cross-chain execution, confidential AI inference, and agent-based applications.

## What we do

The company builds and operates a fully sharded blockchain protocol capable of over 1 million TPS, combined with cross-chain execution via NEAR Intents and private AI inference via NEAR AI. NEAR Intents has processed $19B in volume and is integrated by wallets and DeFi protocols including Ledger, Brave Wallet, and ThorSwap. NEAR AI runs private inference inside hardware-enforced TEEs and is used by Brave, Venice AI, and the Government of Bermuda, among others. Together these components form infrastructure for developers and enterprises building agent-based and cross-chain applications.
