Building AI agents that control accounts and assets on all blockchains has never been easier. NEAR enables AI agents to transact on any chain, while our Shade Agent Framework allows you to create verifiable and trustless AI agents with multi-chain capabilities out of the box. NEAR AI Infrastructure

Let your agent use NEAR

AI Agents can easily control accounts and assets on all blockchains thanks to NEAR’s unique features. You simply need to give them access to a NEAR account and they can start interacting with smart contracts, sending transactions, and managing assets everywhere.

NEAR MCP Server

Connect your existing AI agents to NEAR blockchain with 23 ready-to-use tools for transactions, contracts, and asset management.

Build trustless multi-chain agents

The Shade Agent Framework enables you to build verifiable multi-chain AI agents. These agents operate in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and leverage NEAR features such as multi-key management and Chain Signatures to securely manage assets and sign transactions across multiple blockchains. Shade agents can autonomously sign transactions on any chain, interact with AI models and external data sources, and perform privacy-preserving, verifiable computations.
Shade Agents power Agentic Protocols: a new type of decentralized application designed to be autonomous, proactive, and intelligent.

Which docs should I use?

DocumentationBest if you…
AI + NEARAlready have an AI Agent, and want to connect it to NEAR (and other chains)
Building NEAR Apps with AIAre building a NEAR App, and want your Code Agents to help you better
Trustless Multi-chain AgentsAre building an agent from zero and need to securely handle funds across multiple chains

Common questions

Not with Shade Agents. They use decentralized key management—any instance of the agent with the same code can access the same accounts.
Our tools and resources help to abstract away the complexity of blockchain development.
NEAR accounts allow you to transact on all chains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana thanks to Chain Signatures.
