Kat.

Meerkats already live like a P2P network. Many tunnels, one clan, somebody always on lookout. $NEARKAT pays the clan in $NEAR.

How the clan gets fed

Every trade drops 3% into the den.

StonkFun turns that cut into $NEAR and hands it to whoever is holding. Not more $NEARKAT. Not an IOU from the sky. The actual ration.

Why $NEAR, not more $NEARKAT. $NEAR is what validators stake and what confidential execution gets paid in. Feeding the clan with it ties the meme to the chain it came from.

Why meerkats

Privacy is just good sentry work.

Wild meerkats survive because the colony is distributed. No single tunnel is the whole home. Lookouts watch the horizon so the rest of the clan can dig, feed and raise young without advertising every move.

SENTRY · ALL CLEAR
  • Many tunnels, not one vault.

    A den is a graph. If one entrance collapses, traffic reroutes. That is sharding and P2P routing, in dirt form.

  • One lookout, quiet interior.

    Sentries stand up so the warren stays private. Keep balances, routes and timing off the open sky where predators and MEV bots hunt.

  • Clan first, no king.

    Meerkats are not lone heroes. Builders, validators and holders are the colony. NearKat points at the network. It is not a substitute for it.

What NEAR is doing now

The den got upgrades.

NEAR spent 2026 turning the chain into a private, multi-chain settlement layer for people and agents. Closer to a living colony than a public bulletin board. Four new branches, dug this year.

  1. BRANCH 01

    Confidential by default

    Confidential Intents run on a private shard with a TEE bridge. Swaps, balances and routes stay out of the public mempool, so lookouts and MEV cannot hunt the interior.

  2. BRANCH 02

    NEAR Intents

    Say the outcome. Solvers find the path across 30+ chains. One account moves value without babysitting bridges and gas on every network. One den, many exits.

  3. BRANCH 03

    Elastic Nightshade

    Dynamic resharding splits hot tunnels and merges quiet ones in production. The colony adds capacity without every sentry carrying the whole map.

  4. BRANCH 04

    AI that stays quiet

    Agents as users. Confidential inference, stake-for-compute, agents that settle across chains without leaking strategy. Privacy here is not a costume.
