The Near Protocol announced via X on Friday that it has partnered with Agora to launch House of Stake. House of Stake is a new staking & governance system for NEAR built on:
-
veNEAR: token-locking for long-term alignment
-
Delegated voting: effective, permissionless governance
-
0.5% inflation: funding real ecosystem participation
It is also a launchpad for AI-native governance agents, tools that help communities govern better, faster, and more securely.
NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to make apps similarly usable to those on today’s web. The network runs on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Nightshade, which aims to provide dynamic scalability and stabilize fees. NEAR is trading at $2.280, up 3.5% in the last 24 hours.
