Odaily Planet Daily News According to official news, the NEAR Foundation announced the launch of "*NEAR NAME Tokens" for multi-chain, cross-platform digital identities for Web3 and other fields, providing users with a comprehensive digital identity solution covering a wider Web3 ecosystem. Users will be able to use the token in a variety of ways, including: - As a simplified wallet address across hundreds of different blockchain networks; - As an infrastructure identifier across hundreds of different blockchain networks; - As a cross-platform username across a variety of different decentralized platforms, including DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, SportFi and other related applications; - As a verifiable credential (VC) for interactive platforms and services; - Get a unique benefit and reward program for participating in the D3 ecosystem; - As an expression of the .NEAR equivalent domain name on the Internet. It is reported that the *NEAR NAME Tokens have an asterisk (*) between the name and the extension, such as you*near, instead of a period (.), partly because the NEAR account already uses the .NEAR extension.
