NEAR partners with NEAT Protocol to accelerate AI growth
NEAR Foundation this week announced the delegation of 1 million $NEAR tokens to NEAT, a rollup protocol designed to scale AI applications on the NEAR platform. The staking rewards from these tokens, estimated to yield an APY of 120–200%, will be redistributed to $NEAT stakers. This initiative aims to support AI and blockchain projects, promoting the integration of AI with blockchain technology.

NEAT is a rollup scaling solution based on the NEAR inscription standard, designed for AI and machine learning applications on NEAR. It utilises off-chain indexer nodes for execution and NEAR L1 for data availability, eliminating the need for smart contracts or verification logic on the L1, significantly reducing transaction costs.

An overview of NEAT and its potential benefits is highlighted above.

Past performance is not a reflection of future results

Uniswap foundation postponing first proposal

In other news last week, Uniswap announced that the first proposal to activate Uniswap Protocol Governance would be deployed on-chain. However, a stakeholder raised a new concern that requires further investigation. Given the irreversible and sensitive nature of the proposed upgrade, Uniswap has decided to postpone the vote. The community will be kept informed of any significant developments and updates will be provided once there is more clarity on future timelines.
