Eliminate Blockchain Complexity

Chain Abstraction eliminates blockchain complexity, allowing AI to interact with assets, applications, and services across multiple chains as if they were a single system.

Why It Matters

Build Once, Reach Every Chain

AI Thinks In Assets, Not Rails

Keys Stay Sliced And Safe

Forget the bridges, tokens, and wallet switching.

Chain Abstraction streamlines execution so AI can transact and operate autonomously.

Chain Signatures

Allow NEAR smart contracts to sign transactions on other blockchains and even non-smart contract environments, using a multi-party computation (MPC) network secured by NEAR validators. This unlocks cross-chain execution, enabling AI-driven finance, permissionless key management, and use cases like cross-chain lending and AI-powered portfolio management.

Omnibridge

Provides a trustless, automated mechanism for asset transfers across multiple blockchains, further simplifying the process of moving assets and ensuring a smooth, unified experience for both AI and users.

NEAR Intents

A framework that lets users define outcomes while AI automates execution, enabling autonomous, cross-chain transactions without manual oversight. Coupled with AI agents, Intents can build a universal settlement layer for value, allowing AI to rebalance portfolios, settle payments, and manage assets across multiple chains seamlessly.


Shade Agents

Fully Autonomous AI Agents on NEAR. Leveraging Chain Signatures, NEAR Intents, and Omnibridge.

ShadeAgentdocs

Multichain

Shade Agents are AI-powered smart contracts. They use NEAR’s Chain Signatures and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to ensure secure, decentralized key management.

Verifiable

With verifiable on-chain execution, Shade Agents power autonomous trading, lending optimization, and AI-driven financial automation without intermediaries.
