Where it came from
Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov started NEAR in 2018 after working on machine learning and competitive programming respectively. Polosukhin was one of the co-authors of the transformer paper that underpins modern language models, which is why the project's later positioning around AI is more than a label.
What it does
NEAR is a sharded proof-of-stake chain whose distinguishing choices are aimed at usability: human-readable account names instead of hex addresses, and accounts that can pay fees on a user's behalf. More recently it has focused on chain abstraction, letting one account control assets on other chains.
What moves the price
- The fee burn: most of each transaction fee is destroyed and only a small share goes to the contract that was called, so activity offsets the fixed 5% annual issuance.
- Delivery of sharding upgrades, since the throughput claim depends on shards splitting and merging without operator intervention.
- Adoption of chain-abstraction features, which is the part of the roadmap that would generate demand from users who never hold NEAR directly.
- Vesting from the 2020 distribution to the foundation, backers and core team.
