Horizontal scaling through sharding is the only way the blockchain industry will support the flood of AI agent volume.
Most people know that @NEARProtocol is a sharded blockchain. But the way to fully leverage the power of sharding is to shard actual smart contracts. Large DeFi contracts like @near_intents account for a majority of transactions and state.
NEAR has already built a global contract design and is developing a user account storage solution to bring sharding to the contract layer. And then things will get very interesting.
Trillions of AI agents are coming and most chains won’t survive the load.
FORK static infra. FORK scaling bottlenecks.
Choose NEAR.
Sharded, dynamic, and built to scale with demand, live.
Nightshade 2.0 makes NEAR the best infra in the game for founders building the agentic future.
