For 10 years, the holy grail of blockchains has been runtime—a virtual machine that empowers builders to deploy programmable logic on-chain. However, the runtime vision is becoming obsolete. Our industry is shifting toward a whole new paradigm: agentic contracts 🧵

Very slick NEAR Intents demo from @surgecodes and @nategeier. Moving assets cross-chain in a single transaction with a single prompt. As Surge puts it, “automatic bridging through conversations.”. NEAR is the chain for AI-driven DeFi.
Built this agent as a quick side quest and its quickly turning into one of the coolest parts. You can just ask it to do whatever you want on any chain and the agent will figure out how to get funds where they need to be. Excited to see what cool use cases this unlocks.

This is what a peak cross-chain performance is. $75k+ Base -> Mainnet in 46 sec with less than 0.0004% fee (you read it right, it's just $0.3).

Resharding feels routine now. Easy to forget it’s surgery on a 600ms beating heart. Just like Falcon 9 landings: once impossible, now expected.
NEAR mainnet just finished upgrading from 8 to 9 shards today, improving throughput by 12.5%. It was a seamless live upgrade and the network remained stable throughout the upgrade process. The previous upgrade from 6 to 8 shards was the real technical challenge, where we.
