NEAR Day Singapore

​Every agent needs a wallet, a way to reach other systems, and someone deciding whose interest it acts in. Right now, most of those answers point back to the same handful of platforms. They hold the keys, they see the data, they set the terms.

​NEAR is building the alternative: infrastructure where the user, not the platform, stays in control.

​That bet is no longer a roadmap slide. NEAR AI Cloud and Private Chat are live inside Brave, OpenMind AGI, and Phala Network, putting hardware-backed, verifiable privacy in front of more than 100 million users. NEAR Intents now converts every dollar of protocol fees straight into NEAR, and dynamic resharding lets the network add capacity on its own as agent traffic grows, no coordinated upgrade required. Post-quantum signing is already rolling into account security, ahead of the threat instead of behind it.

​At TOKEN2049 Singapore, this working forum brings builders, protocol teams, and AI platforms together to pressure-test what user-owned infrastructure actually requires; not the pitch, the plumbing. Sessions move across the NEAR stack: NEAR Intents for cross-chain execution, NEAR AI Cloud for confidential and verifiable inference, near.com as the interface tying it together.

​Panels and firesides bring in major payment infrastructure providers from both traditional finance and crypto, alongside leading asset managers and DeFi platforms.
