The rewards will remain locked until NEAR\u2019s three-day volume-weighted average price reaches at least $3.33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program also limits each wallet to a maximum of 2% of the total distribution, a measure designed to reduce concentration and spread rewards across a broader group of participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEAR confidential TVL reaches $70 million milestone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $70 million threshold was reached through Confidential Intents, NEAR\u2019s private execution system for cross-chain transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to NEAR, the system routes transactions through a private shard, helping keep them away from public mempools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is designed to reduce exposure to front-running, strategy leakage and other forms of maximal extractable value, commonly known as MEV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR says Confidential Intents can support high-volume transactions across multiple blockchains without publicly linking the activity to the party behind the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network also says the system offers private execution without relying on some of the heavier computational requirements associated with zero-knowledge systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Independent tracking data placed confidential TVL at around $70.8 million on September 17, pushing the platform beyond the threshold needed to activate the first phase of the incentive campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First NEAR@3.33 snapshot is now active<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crossing the $70 million mark triggered the first snapshot under the NEAR@3.33 incentive program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The snapshot determines which users are eligible for the first token allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants must meet two main requirements: they must maintain more than $100 in confidential balances and have an active history of swaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of 333,333 milestone tokens has been allocated for the first distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the rewards cannot immediately be converted into NEAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will remain locked until NEAR\u2019s three-day VWAP reaches at least $3.33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program also places a 2% limit on the amount any single wallet can receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR says this cap is intended to prevent a small number of wallets from dominating the distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confidential Intents expands across multiple blockchains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR says Confidential Intents currently supports private execution across more than 30 connected blockchains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alex Shevchenko, general manager of NEAR Intents, said demand for confidential execution is moving beyond a small niche and becoming more important to the broader crypto industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He argued that combining cross-chain liquidity with protections against front-running and strategy leakage could make the system useful for both institutions and decentralized finance users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For larger market participants, privacy around execution can be particularly important because publicly visible transactions may reveal trading strategies before they are completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $70 million TVL milestone now closes the first phase of the NEAR@3.33 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEAR Intents simplifies cross-chain transactions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR has been developing Intents as an abstraction layer designed to make cross-chain activity easier for users and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of manually choosing how assets should move between different blockchain networks, users can specify their desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specialized participants known as solvers then compete to find and execute the most efficient route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach removes some of the complexity normally involved in using bridges, swapping assets and interacting with multiple blockchain networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR has also positioned Intents as infrastructure that could support autonomous AI agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These agents may need to make payments, execute trades or move assets across several blockchains without manually managing each network separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEAR Intents continues to generate activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By June 2026, cumulative fees generated by NEAR Intents had exceeded $35.4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Average daily fees during that month were above $125,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The protocol has connected this growth with its longer-term plan to create a shared settlement layer for cross-chain transactions and autonomous software agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confidential Intents builds on that infrastructure by adding privacy to the execution process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR has also developed privacy-focused tools for areas such as treasury management, payroll, multisig operations and balance management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tools are intended to help organizations and users manage on-chain activity without exposing every financial action publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEAR expands cross-chain integrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broader NEAR Intents ecosystem has continued to add blockchain integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An integration with Aptos allowed users to perform one-click transfers involving assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP across more than 20 blockchain networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developers can access this functionality through the 1 Click Swap API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The API allows applications to integrate cross-chain swaps without requiring users to manually use bridges or manage multiple transaction steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This infrastructure fits into NEAR\u2019s broader goal of reducing the complexity of interacting with different blockchain ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confidential execution supports NEAR\u2019s AI strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Privacy is also becoming an important part of NEAR\u2019s artificial intelligence strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network argues that autonomous software agents handling payments, trading activity or other financial operations may need to protect sensitive information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If every transaction is publicly visible, an AI agent\u2019s strategy, user information or financial activity could potentially be exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confidential execution is designed to reduce that risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR has increasingly connected its blockchain infrastructure with AI-focused products intended to support autonomous agents and private digital services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEAR introduces staking-based AI payments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July, NEAR introduced a staking-based payment system for its AI platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system allows users to lock NEAR tokens and receive monthly compute credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a traditional payment model, the staked tokens are not spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users can recover their tokens once they decide to unstake them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At launch, the platform supported 43 AI models, including models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR said the system allows users to access confidential AI inference and hosted autonomous agents without using a credit card or maintaining a traditional cloud billing account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Privacy tools extend beyond blockchain transactions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEAR has also introduced automatic anonymization for personally identifiable information contained in prompts sent to closed AI models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is designed to remove sensitive information before those prompts reach external inference infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach reflects NEAR\u2019s wider strategy of combining privacy with AI and blockchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network has also continued upgrading its core technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A network upgrade released in June introduced dynamic resharding, which allows blockchain capacity to adjust as transaction demand changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same upgrade also introduced post-quantum secure signatures as part of NEAR\u2019s longer-term security improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEAR\u2019s $70M milestone signals growing demand for privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rise in confidential TVL to more than $70 million shows increasing use of NEAR\u2019s privacy-focused cross-chain infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The milestone has now triggered the first NEAR@3.33 snapshot and reserved 333,333 tokens for qualifying users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Confidential Intents already connected to more than 30 blockchains, NEAR is positioning the platform as infrastructure for private cross-chain transactions, decentralized finance and autonomous AI agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step for participants will depend partly on NEAR\u2019s market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rewards from the first milestone will remain locked until the token\u2019s three-day VWAP reaches at least $3.33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
