Illia Polosukhin On The Future Of AI, Crypto, And How Near Is Going To Win
NEAR Intents processes about $4 billion monthly, with near.com contributing 10–20% of volume depending on the week.Protocol fees convert into NEAR purchases, while perps and Earn also direct fee shares toward buybacks, but Illia gave no cumulative buyback figure.Adoption and integration security remain tests after a partner-built BSC connection suffered a $3.8 million exploit.
A Positive Vision for the Future: Part 2 with Illia Polosukhin of NEAR
Illia Polosukhin expects AI-built personal software to displace generic SaaS, shifting value from implementation toward architecture, judgment, trusted execution, and review as agents adapt interfaces and workflows to each user.Personal AI could become a private operating system and purchasing intermediary, reducing advertising, waste, and middlemen, while decentralized compute, formal verification, governance, and biological defenses remain unresolved prerequisites for NEAR’s broader vision.

NEAR’s user-owned AI thesis combines private, verifiable inference with decentralized compensation for GPUs, model weights, and proprietary data, with confidential computing offering 1% to 5% measured overhead.The network could turn benchmarks, fine-tuning, and even frontier models into inspectable, tokenized ventures, while unstoppable agents create unresolved risks around security, legal enforcement, human governance, and irreversible actions.
