The modular era has arrived and NEAR is set to take centre stage. Introducing the NEAR Data Availability Layer. Hot off the press at NEARCON23, NEAR DA is set to launch to offer secure, cost-effective data availability for ETH rollups. 🌐 NEAR DA marks NEAR's entry into the modular blockchain landscape with the lowest-cost DA offering in the Web3 market today. It's a game-changer for projects building Ethereum rollups. Posting rollup data on NEAR is 8,000 times cheaper than on Ethereum. With powerhouses like Starknet, Caldera, old, Vistara Labs, Dymension, and MovementLabs joining the initial launch, NEAR DA builds upon NEAR Protocol’s 3+ years of secure, reliable blockchain tech with 100% uptime. 🛡️ "We are super excited about this opportunity. Starknet continues to evolve and mature, and we are happy to see the variety of options Starknet developers have," - from Starknet. 🌟 "High throughput and low cost are important for the social, gaming, and consumer use cases we're focused on. These are things NEAR DA does really well and can't be achieved using Ethereum DA," shares Eggs, Dino from old. 🎮 "Developers, and by extension their users, win when they have the freedom to use high-throughput and cost-effective DA layers like NEAR," - Matt Katz, CEO of Caldera. NEAR DA is not just about cost savings. It's about scalability, reliability, and accessibility. It's about reliability and integration with the Ethereum ecosystem. Supporting Ethereum L2s and high-quality projects launching app-chains. It's about building a more inclusive and efficient open web for all. 🌍 Developers and founders building on Ethereum rollups interested in using NEAR DA can visit to get started. Let's build the future of the open web. Together! 🛠️

"#NEAR is really good technology from the architecture side, but it's also a good user experience. Don't think of this as a complete reboot of everything you've done" Jonathon Bryce of #OnMachina shares his insights into #NEAR and the Blockchain Operating System.

Yesterday at Real-World Asset Summit, NEAR Foundation Head of Capital Markets Alex Scharrer explained what institutions and major capital allocators need before they hand an agent a mandate. "The honest problem is that you're flying blind. You give these models your data, your capital, and you have almost no way of knowing what ran on whose infrastructure, or where the data ended up afterward." Alex walks through how NEAR is building verifiable, private AI for major fintech platforms like Abound, governments, and global enterprises: ✦ Credentials never touch the model ✦ Every agent action routes through a single checkpoint ✦ Execution happens inside sealed hardware, with verification from a party outside the agent's control "The goal shouldn't be to trust agents more. The goal should be that you can make provable what the agent ran on."
