NEAR AI Launches Payment Structure Connecting 500,000 NEAR Staking with AI Compute Credits

NEAR AI has initiated a payment structure that links NEAR Protocol staking with AI compute credits. Users can stake NEAR and receive credits for AI services instead of cash. Since the launch of 'Staking for NEAR AI' on July 30, over 500,000 NEAR has been staked in about two weeks. Staking rewards are delivered to NEAR AI as compensation for services, not as user profits. The minimum stake is 50 NEAR, with credits provided as follows: $5 per month for the 50-500 NEAR range, $5-$20 per month for the 500-2000 NEAR range, and $20-$200 per month for the 2000-20,000 NEAR range. Staked NEAR is maintained in a non-custodial manner, allowing users to retain control over their wallet keys and assets. NEAR AI emphasizes AI payments and privacy, operating models in a TEE environment. However, not all models provide the same level of security, and some may route through third-party providers. This feature demonstrates the potential for token holdings to be linked to AI service usage. As of July 28, the NEAR revenue dashboard recorded total fees of $39.46 million and a total of 1.56 million NEAR. Users should consider NEAR price fluctuations and staking release periods.
