How to convert Kyber Network Crystal to NEAR Protocol

Converting KNC to NEAR on NEAR Mobile Swap is done in three simple steps through the NEAR Intents protocol: Deposit, Swap, and Withdraw.

Step 1 — Deposit KNC from Ethereum
Go to the Deposit tab and select Kyber Network Crystal (KNC) on Ethereum. The widget will generate a deposit address (or QR code) — send your KNC there from any wallet. Once the deposit is confirmed on Ethereum, your KNC balance appears inside NEAR Intents.

Step 2 — Swap KNC to NEAR on NEAR Intents
Switch to the Swap tab, pick KNC as the source and NEAR as the target. Enter the amount and confirm — solvers compete to fill your order and the swap settles in seconds.

Step 3 — Withdraw NEAR to NEAR
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select NEAR Protocol (NEAR) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose NEAR as the destination. Enter an address from a NEAR wallet such as NEAR Mobile or Meteor and confirm.

⚠ Important: When entering a withdrawal address, make sure it is a personal wallet you control. Some centralized exchanges do not support receiving funds from smart-contract-based deposits — sending to an exchange address may result in lost funds.

About the KNC → NEAR swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your KNC leaves Ethereum and NEAR arrives on NEAR. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is NEAR on NEAR, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Both KNC and NEAR float against the dollar, so the KNC/NEAR rate moves with two markets at once. Traders use this pair to rotate between ecosystems in a single step instead of selling to a stablecoin first.

About Kyber Network Crystal and NEAR Protocol

What is Kyber Network Crystal (KNC)?

Kyber Network Crystal is the token behind Kyber Network, a liquidity project founded in Singapore in 2017 by Loi Luu, Victor Tran and Yaron Velner. The current KNC contract dates from April 2021, when holders migrated the original token (now called KNCL) one-for-one to an upgradeable version approved by KyberDAO.

How Kyber Network Crystal works

KyberSwap routes trades across many decentralized exchanges and chains to find competitive prices, and also runs its own concentrated-liquidity pools. KNC holders stake in KyberDAO to vote on proposals that shape fees, incentives and the protocol's direction.

What KNC is used for

Holders stake KNC to take part in governance and, depending on the program in force, collect rewards linked to protocol activity. It also trades as a liquid DeFi asset on Ethereum and other EVM networks where KyberSwap is deployed.

KNC supply

The 2021 upgrade gave KyberDAO power to mint or burn KNC through governance; the DAO has already voted to mint extra tokens for an ecosystem fund, so the supply is not permanently fixed.

Before you swap KNC

KNC is listed here as the Ethereum ERC-20 (the v2 contract, not legacy KNCL). Keep some ETH in the receiving wallet to pay gas when you use it later.

What is NEAR Protocol (NEAR)?

NEAR Protocol is a smart contract platform co-founded by Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov, with its mainnet going live in 2020. The network focuses on usability, offering human-readable account names such as alice.near instead of long hexadecimal addresses. It is also the chain behind NEAR Intents, the cross-chain swap system that NEAR Mobile Swap uses.

How NEAR Protocol works

Validators stake NEAR in a Proof of Stake system to produce blocks and confirm transactions. Nightshade sharding splits the network into parallel shards that process transactions side by side, which lets capacity grow as more shards are added.

What NEAR is used for

NEAR is spent on transaction fees and contract storage, and it is delegated to validators by holders who want staking rewards. Developers also use the chain for decentralized apps, AI agents and chain abstraction tools that operate across several blockchains.

NEAR supply

NEAR started with a genesis supply of one billion tokens and has no hard cap. New tokens are minted each epoch to reward validators, with the maximum annual inflation rate halved from 5% to 2.5% in October 2025, while 70% of transaction fees are burned.

Before you swap NEAR

When withdrawing to NEAR, you can send to a named account (like name.near) or to a 64-character implicit account, so check you have the correct one. Keep a little NEAR in your wallet to cover gas and storage for future transactions.
