After $ZEC, why $NEAR you ask?

In a future where machines will handle most of the transactions at massive scale the real scarce thing will no longer be blockspace or even privacy but a durable and contestable sense of identity that can last for decades while keys evolve and permissions stretch across many different domains.

Execution layers will just become cheap commodities while the real coordination value will go to whatever protocol actually owns the identity primitive that every other chain ends up having to inherit because their own account models were never built for long lived machine actors.

Once agents turn into the main economic participants @NEARProtocol’s early decision to design accounts that way becomes the quiet advantage that reduces every other chain to a simple execution backend and leaves $NEAR itself as the authority and reputation layer they cannot easily replace.
