How to convert NEAR Protocol to PublicAI

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

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

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

Step 3 — Withdraw PUBLIC to NEAR
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select PublicAI (PUBLIC) 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 NEAR → PUBLIC swap

NEAR and PUBLIC both live on NEAR, so you deposit and withdraw on the same network. NEAR Intents still routes the trade through its solver network, which means you get a competitive quote without picking a DEX or an aggregator yourself.

Both NEAR and PUBLIC float against the dollar, so the NEAR/PUBLIC 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 NEAR Protocol and PublicAI

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.

What is PublicAI (PUBLIC)?

PublicAI is a decentralized 'human layer' for AI: people around the world supply, label and check data that AI companies pay for. Its PUBLIC token was sold on CoinList in August 2025 and launched that month, with NEAR as a main home, and the project counts the NEAR and Solana foundations among its backers.

How PublicAI works

Contributors complete data tasks and earn PUBLIC. They must stake tokens as collateral, which can be slashed if they submit poor or malicious work. The platform describes client revenue as the source of contributor rewards.

What PUBLIC is used for

Contributors earn and stake PUBLIC to take part in data work, and holders can stake it for yield and governance. It also trades on centralized exchanges and across NEAR, Solana and BNB Chain.

PUBLIC supply

Total supply is 1 billion PUBLIC. A large share is set aside for community rewards and airdrops, and team and investor allocations unlock over time.

Before you swap PUBLIC

This page uses the NEAR token by default. A Solana version is also listed, so pick the network your wallet expects and keep NEAR or SOL for fees. PublicAI is a newer token with a young market, so expect volatility.
