ChainCatcher · 2026-11-04 00:51 UTCThe governance body of NEAR Protocol proposed to reduce the annual token issuance cap by 36%The NEAR Protocol governance body House of Stake passed the HSP-029 proposal with approximately 99.96% support, with a voting power of 3.29 million veNEAR. The proposal aims to gradually reduce the annual token issuance cap from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months, with an average monthly decrease of 0.0375 percentage points. The proposal was initiated by Sal Ternullo, CEO of the Nasdaq-listed company SVRN, and only adjusts one protocol parameter, while the existing distribution ratio remains unchanged: 90% of newly issued tokens are allocated to staking participants, and 10% go to the treasury.The proposal also requires approval from the House of Stake Security Committee and will be implemented after a preparation period of about 90 days and once validators complete the protocol upgrade. The model estimates that, based on the original issuance cap, approximately 11.8 million NEAR could be issued less in the first two years after implementation, and about 66.1 million less over six years. After full implementation, the daily issuance is expected to decrease from about 89,500 to 57,300; under the assumption of similar staking participation rates, the gross staking yield is expected to drop from 5.268% to 3.372%, and validator commission income is expected to decrease by 36%.#NEARProtocol#HSP-029#Staking

ChainCatcher · 2026-10-02 02:29 UTCThe NEAR community proposal aims to reduce the maximum annual token issuance rate and clarify that the security incident does not involve vulnerabilities in the native tokenNEAR Protocol posted on platform X that Sal Ternullo, CEO of NEAR Treasury Company SVRN, has introduced a new proposal on the NEAR governance forum to reduce the maximum annual token issuance rate from 2.5% to 1.6% for a duration of 24 months, and to lower the staking yield from the current approximately 5.4% to about 3.5%.The proposal is currently seeking feedback from validators, House of Stake delegators, and NEAR community members, with a complete plan expected to be announced next week for voting.In response to the recent NEAR Intents security incident, NEAR Protocol further clarified that the blockchain network is operating normally, and the related incident was not caused by vulnerabilities in NEAR Protocol or the native token NEAR. The NEAR Protocol network continues to produce blocks and process transactions without any downtime.#NEAR#securityincidents#governanceforum

ChainCatcher · 2026-08-04 05:44 UTCNEAR co-founder proposes the establishment of the NEAR Protocol Sovereign FundAccording to ChianCatcher, Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, proposed the establishment of a protocol sovereign fund at the governance forum to enhance the long-term sustainability of the network's token economics. This fund will consist of existing and future protocol treasuries and protocol revenues, holding NEAR tokens and generating returns, with part of the returns used to cover the costs of public goods in the ecosystem, such as security, validator support programs, and MPC service providers.Polosukhin stated that using ecological revenue to purchase NEAR and fund public goods with the returns is more aligned for the long term than simply burning tokens. The initial size of the protocol treasury is approximately 30 million NEAR (about 53 million USD), and more revenue and emissions can be injected into the fund through governance, gradually reducing effective inflation and potentially transitioning to a fixed supply. This proposal is currently open for discussion for two weeks and is not mandatory.#NEAR#IlliaPolosukhin
ChainCatcher · 2026-07-31 06:07 UTCNEAR Protocol launches staking payment AI fee featureNEAR Protocol announced that it has launched a staking payment feature for AI fees, allowing users to pay for confidential inference and continuous running agent fees by staking NEAR without the need for a credit card.The staked NEAR will be converted into computing points calculated monthly, with the scale of points increasing with the amount staked. The funds themselves are not consumed and can be retrieved after unstaking. All 43 models on NEAR AI (including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) can be accessed through this staking mechanism.#NEARProtocol#staking#AIfees
ChainCatcher · 2026-07-08 00:18 UTCNEAR Protocol launches Confidential Intents, supporting developers to integrate confidential execution featuresAccording to official news, NEAR Protocol announced the launch of Confidential Intents, opening NEAR's confidential execution infrastructure to all developers. Developers and dApps can provide users with confidential trading features through the NEAR Intents 1 Click Swap API.NEAR stated that Confidential Intents uses encryption rather than proof generation, requiring no client-side proof and not increasing wallet complexity; each user's data is encrypted individually rather than pooled for obfuscation. Integration only requires adding one parameter, with no need for reconstruction. Over $1.5 billion in ZEC has been settled through NEAR Intents, and within weeks of going live on near.com, 42% of transaction volume used the confidential mode, with daily confidential TVL exceeding $30 million.#NEARProtocol#ConfidentialIntents#ConfidentialTrading

ChainCatcher · 2026-05-07 05:47 UTCNEAR Protocol is adding post-quantum cryptography support, allowing accounts to complete key rotation in a single transactionNEAR Protocol stated on platform X that the team is adding post-quantum cryptography support for the network. NEAR's account model is different from Bitcoin and Ethereum; accounts are decoupled from cryptography and controlled through rotatable access keys.The NEAR One team is adding the NIST-approved lattice-based signature FIPS-204 scheme as the first post-quantum signature option. Once launched, any NEAR account holder can rotate keys through a single transaction, achieving quantum safety. NEAR is also collaborating with software and hardware wallets to advance post-quantum support.Through the chain signature feature, NEAR can provide threshold signatures for over 35 chains. The NEAR Intents team is developing a quantum-safe cross-chain signature solution. If other chains progress slowly in adopting post-quantum cryptography, NEAR can offer a quantum-safe environment. Aspects such as consensus mechanisms, validators, block synchronization, and transaction signatures also need to evolve for the post-quantum era, with the goal of achieving a one-time future-compatible migration.#NEARProtocol#post-quantumcryptography#cross-chainsignatures
