$NEAR City – a futuristic city where blockchain is the unseen infrastructure.

In $NEAR City, the roads and highways (sharded blockchain) are wide and fast, traffic jams don’t exist (high throughput, 1s finality)​.

Everyone has a friendly ID card (human-readable account) instead of a long serial number, making interactions personal and secure​.

The city has a universal power grid and currency ($NEAR token) that powers all services – from paying tolls (transaction fees) to flowing in financial system to rewarding contributors.

As activity increases, the currency becomes even more valuable because most of the toll fees are burned and locked in financial instruments creating scarcity.

For heavy jobs, $NEAR City uses secure research labs (confidential off-chain compute inside TEE) where specialists work privately but send certified results to the city records.

$NEAR City’s transit system (chain abstraction) connects to other cities – you can use one pass to travel anywhere (one wallet for many chains).

Shipping drones and delivery bots (Intents) let you order anything by describing what you want; they find the best way to get it to you. You don't need to think which city it's coming from and how it was produced.

Some deliveries are handled by robot assistants (AI agents) that work round the clock under strict rules you set.

Finally, $NEAR City is full of attractions: popular apps (shops, parks, services) where people have fun (@play_ember, @PixelDapps), get fit (@SweatEconomy), shop smarter (KaiKai by @CosmoseAI), and send money to their families (@getabound), manage finances (@rhea_finance @TemplarProtocol @SatoshiPort @moremarketsxyz and more) – all without needing to know that the city’s advanced infrastructure is running beneath them.
