NEAR Protocol just surged over 14% today — here is why everyone is calling it the "Blockchain for AI."

NEAR isn't just another layer-1; it is building the infrastructure where AI agents can actually transact and operate across Web2 and Web3 seamlessly. Think of it as the rails for the future internet. They solve the usual crypto headaches with three big ideas: User-Owned AI (so agents work for *you*, not corporations), Chain Abstraction (so you use apps without worrying about gas fees or bridging), and Nightshade Sharding (making it fast and cheap enough for real-world scale).

With a $5.3B market cap and massive 24h volume, the market is waking up to the AI x Crypto narrative. NEAR is positioning itself as the foundational layer for this collision.

Do you think "User-Owned AI" will become the standard, or will big tech keep control of the agents we use daily?
