TaxiStake Validator Live on NEAR
TaxiStake announces our support for NEAR Protocol with our NEAR validator.
At TaxiStake, we’re thrilled to announce our support for NEAR Protocol, the leading blockchain for AI, with our NEAR validator now live on mainnet. As a bare metal validator, we’re committed to contributing to the growth and development of the NEAR ecosystem.
The Birth of NEAR
NEAR’s origin story is deeply rooted in AI. Founded by Illia Polosukhin, a pioneer in transformer technology and co-author of the seminal paper “Attention Is All You Need,” NEAR was born out of the need for a scalable and user-friendly blockchain that could support microtransactions and AI infrastructure.
A Blockchain Built for AI
NEAR’s shardable and scalable blockchain is ideal for AI infrastructure, enabling the creation of complex AI models and applications. With a focus on usability and decentralization, NEAR is poised to become the go-to platform for AI researchers and developers.
Building the Next Generation of AI
NEAR.AI is currently building a next-generation frontier AI model with 1.4T parameters, leveraging a Trusted Execution Environment to guarantee privacy and security. The NEAR AI Research Hub is a testament to the protocol’s commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation in the AI community.
Empowering User-Owned AI
NEAR is dedicated to enabling users and agents to maintain ownership of their data and sovereignty, creating a decentralized and democratic AI ecosystem. The introduction of NEAR Intents, a new type of transaction that facilitates information exchange between AI agents, services, and end-users, is a significant step towards realizing this vision.
Supporting the NEAR Ecosystem
As a bare metal validator, TaxiStake is proud to support NEAR’s network and contribute to the growth of this vibrant ecosystem. We believe that NEAR’s commitment to scalability, usability, and decentralization makes it an attractive platform for developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs looking to build AI-powered applications.
Join us in our mission to empower the NEAR community and shape the future of AI and blockchain technology.
