NEAR AI tops 1 million NEAR staked to fund AI inference
- —Over 1 million NEAR staked via NEAR AI, the project said on Oct. 21
- —Staking yield converts into credits valued at $1 of platform usage each
- —Unused credits carry forward; unstaking halts new credit accrual
- —Agent hosting uses a separate formula: 500 NEAR yields $5 in monthly credits
Why it matters: The model turns staking yield into demand for AI compute, tying NEAR's tokenomics to real network usage.
