NEAR as AI for every chain, the chain abstraction thesis

The chain abstraction thesis is technically interesting regardless of how you view NEAR as a project. The problem it is solving, users needing separate wallets, gas tokens and interfaces for every chain they use, is real and unsolved by most projects.

For AI agents specifically the implications are large. An agent that can be instructed once and execute across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and any other chain it needs to interact with is a different capability from an agent confined to one ecosystem.

Is true chain abstraction a prerequisite for AI agents to be practically useful for most DeFi use cases or can specialized single-chain agents serve most needs?

The account aggregation as a privacy consideration is something I have not seen discussed. A single NEAR account that controls assets on multiple chains is convenient. It also means a single point of compromise exposes cross-chain activity that would otherwise be siloed. The privacy and security implications of a unified cross-chain identity are worth thinking through carefully, particularly for users whose on-chain activity across different chains they would prefer to keep separate.
