NEAR Launches Confidential Multisig Treasury Platform NEAR Business

NEAR Protocol launched NEAR Business, a confidential multisig treasury management platform for crypto-native teams and institutions, supporting payroll, vendor payments, cross-chain swaps and fund allocation across more than 35 blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, with over 200 assets. Cross-chain transfers run through NEAR Intents, and the platform operates on NEAR’s private sharding infrastructure so transaction details stay confidential but auditable. It is free to use, charges a 0.35% swap fee and is currently invite-only.

AI take

The pitch here is privacy as an operational feature rather than a compliance afterthought: confidentiality with auditability is aimed squarely at treasuries that cannot expose payroll or vendor flows on a public ledger. The real test is whether institutions treat a free, invite-only product on NEAR's private sharding and Intents rails as a credible neutral venue, or as one more chain-specific silo competing with established multisig incumbents. The 0.35% swap fee, not subscriptions, is the monetization signal to track. Whether invite-only access widens and whether cross-chain volume actually routes through Intents are the open questions.
