NEAR’s intent activity puts recovery and key migration in focus

Reported intent volume, confidential value and post-quantum features describe different aspects of a network, not interchangeable adoption measures.

NEAR-related reporting describes $24 billion in cumulative intent volume and wallet functions for creating, importing and revoking post-quantum full-access keys alongside existing keys. Related accounts describe FIPS 204 signatures and dynamic resharding on the main network, staking connected to AI compute, private-inference credits and more than $31 million in confidential value. These are reported capabilities and observations, not independently tested results. Cumulative transaction volume is a flow; confidential value is a separate balance measure and should not be added to it.

Network activity is useful only when the authoritative instruction and its signed record remain recoverable. Confidential totals need reconciliation without exposing individual records. Key migration also needs a complete lifecycle: creation, import, revocation, backup and recovery while existing access remains accounted for. The historical comparison is about maintaining availability as execution and credentials change, not a new volume milestone on each publication date.
