NEAR Protocol launches AI fee pledge payment feature

Comparing news, NEAR Protocol published an article stating that it has introduced a pledge AI fee payment function. Users can stake NEAR to pay confidential inference and continuous operation agent fees without binding a credit card.

The NEAR staked will be converted to calculated credits calculated on a monthly basis, and the credit size will increase with the amount of staked amount. The funds themselves are not consumed and can be recovered after the pledge is lifted. All 43 models on NEAR AI (including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) are accessible through this staking mechanism.
