$NEAR is now live on Solana. And the implications go far beyond a simple token listing.

The NEAR Protocol token has officially launched on the Solana network, powered by NEAR Intents in collaboration with Orb Markets. The move marks a major step in NEAR’s push toward universal trading, seamless cross-chain liquidity, and its broader vision as the blockchain underpinning the agentic, AI-driven economy.
