Welcome to InferNear
Private AI inference for people on every chain, paid for by the yield on their own deposits.
InferNear is an OpenAI-format API endpoint on top of NEAR AI's private TEE models. You deposit into a vault on your own chain and keep the principal. The yield goes to InferNear and comes back to you as API credits on NEAR. You never need a NEAR account or NEAR tokens: only InferNear does.

What you can do with it
- Call private models with the client you already use. Point any OpenAI client at InferNear by changing the base URL and the key.
- Keep prompts unreadable to InferNear. Use NEAR AI's SDK and the prompt is encrypted on your machine to an attested model; the relay only forwards ciphertext.
- Pay with yield instead of capital. Deposit into a vault on Base or NEAR, keep the principal, and spend the yield as credits.
- Or just buy credits with USDC on Base, at 1 USDC for $1 of credits.
- Try it first. Every wallet gets 5 free trial calls.

Status
InferNear was built at the NEAR HACKATHON (1 to 14 Nov 2026). It is deployed on mainnet with small deposit caps. Read Known limits before you put funds in: it lists what is live, what has only run in tests, and what is switched off.
