The easiest way to start earning on #XRP. Even if you don’t hold XRP yet. Swap from ETH (or almost any token) into native XRP and start earning yield in a few clicks. No CEX. No wrapping. Just clean UX and real returns. Here’s how it works using NEAR Protocol Intents + MoreMarkets: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g7qtayJD
Secure AI starts with confidential data access; without compromise. Agents need to process sensitive information without exposing it to centralized control. But centralized organizations can’t guarantee privacy, transparency, or true user sovereignty. At NEAR, we say: Fork that. We’re creating the infrastructure where agents can access and compute on private data securely, with zero-knowledge, confidentiality, and decentralization at the core. The future of AI is secure. And it’s User-Owned.
User-Owned AI is the foundation for democratized access and data privacy in the age of agents. Right now, centralized AI platforms harvest user data and lock value behind proprietary walls. Users contribute everything and own nothing. At NEAR, we say: Fork that. We’re building a world where users retain control of their data, share in the value they help create, and access powerful AI tools without gatekeepers. This is the shift from extraction to empowerment. This is User-Owned AI.
AI Sovereignty is a necessity. However, currently, too much of AI is dependent upon Big Tech for infrastructure, computing power, and control. At NEAR, we say: Fork that. We believe in building a future where AI is open, user-owned, and free from centralized chokepoints. This is how we reclaim agency for developers, users, and intelligent agents alike.
AI Sovereignty is the future. But there’s a major roadblock: GPU access. Today, compute is controlled by a few centralized entities, making it expensive, exclusive, and opaque. That’s not sovereignty. At NEAR, we say: Fork that. We’re building the infrastructure for a world where agents and users can own and operate AI, with open access to compute and scalable, decentralized coordination. This is what AI freedom looks like.
The internet has a Trust Problem, and we’re heading straight into a Compute Capacity Crisis. Centralized solutions won’t scale equitably. They weren’t built with users or agents in mind. At NEAR, we say: Fork that. It’s time for a new kind of internet. One that’s trustless, scalable, and user-owned. It’s time to build for the agent economy.
What is User-Owned AI? At its core, it’s about empowering your wellbeing and economic success. That’s why we said “fork that” to centralized AI. At NEAR, we’re building the infrastructure for a more open and equitable future. One where users and builders own what they create and contribute. It’s time to build better. It’s time to build on NEAR.

The fork is the magical superpower of the blockchain, and of open source software more generally. It's all about optionality, and exercising agency in the software we use every day. I'm proud to be a part of this campaign at NEAR!
One chain. Built for AI. We say fork that to building in silo on separate chains and zero sum game. Talk about it 👇
