Unity Wallet is rolling out new features powered by NEAR Protocol, including a soon-to-launch AI Assistant aimed at making crypto tools easier to use for beginners and experts alike.
As part of the release, Unity has added support for NEAR staking, wallet selector, and “intents,” a beta feature that lets users state their goal, such as swapping tokens, and rely on backend agents to execute the best route.

In August, Unity plans to release its AI Assistant, which will help users ask questions and carry out tasks like checking balances, staking assets, or finding optimal swap routes – all via a chat-style interface.
The integration is part of a broader collaboration with the NEAR Foundation, which has positioned itself as a blockchain built for AI use cases. The move signals a growing push toward AI-powered tools that preserve user control but strip away the technical overhead that keeps many people out of self-custody.
"Web3 shouldn’t require a manual,” said Unity Wallet COO James Toledano.
"With our deep integration of NEAR’s infrastructure - including Wallet Selector, Intents, and staking—we’re making everyday crypto actions radically simpler. And with AI Assistant, we’re taking the next step: providing real-time guidance that helps users navigate self-custody with confidence," Toledano said.
