Deutsche Telekom MMS joins MetaPool's ENO program, becoming the first telecom to operate a validator on the NEAR blockchain, strengthening its security and decentralization.
The collaboration will enable an open and accessible platform for decentralized AI, highlighting Deutsche Telekom in the scalable AI and high-cap blockchain space.
NEAR and Deutsche Telekom drive user privacy and security, contributing to the development of decentralized AI systems in the Web3 sector and a more trustworthy ecosystem.
This step makes Deutsche Telekom the first telecommunications company to execute a validator on the NEAR protocol, marking a significant milestone in institutional participation in the NEAR ecosystem.
The collaboration will drive an open and accessible platform for decentralized AI
The ENO program seeks to expand the NEAR ecosystem through partnerships with top-tier companies, helping them integrate their networks into the community. Thanks to Deutsche Telekom's enterprise-grade infrastructure, the NEAR network enhances its decentralization and security. This alliance allows Deutsche Telekom to broaden its infrastructure portfolio by supporting a high-cap protocol and standing out as a leader in decentralized AI, scalability, and chain abstraction. With its technical expertise, Deutsche Telekom provides greater reliability and performance to the NEAR network.
"NEAR stands out among protocols that value our expertise, combining blockchain and AI in a decentralized approach that shares our commitment to privacy, security, and data sovereignty, making it a promising ecosystem," expressed Oliver Nyderle, head of Digital Trust & Web3 Infrastructure at Deutsche Telekom MMS.
NEAR's commitment to user privacy and security
In an era where data is becoming increasingly valuable, ensuring its privacy and transparency is crucial. Deutsche Telekom MMS strengthens the decentralization of the NEAR protocol and supports the development of secure and sovereign AI systems, reaffirming its commitment to innovation in the Web3 space and empowering users.
"This alliance marks a milestone for NEAR and our Meta Pool DAO Business Node Operators program. With Telekom's large-scale infrastructure experience, we take a significant step towards the decentralization and institutionalization of the NEAR blockchain protocol," commented Claudio Cossio, co-founder of MetaPool.
NEAR Protocol: a high-performance blockchain with scalability and low environmental impact
The NEAR protocol is a layer 1 blockchain optimized for usability, scalability, and ease of development. It allows developers to create scalable applications for millions of users through its sharding technique, which increases transaction speed and capacity. Designed to be energy efficient, NEAR positions itself as an eco-friendly option compared to other blockchains. Thanks to this collaboration, Deutsche Telekom will benefit from advanced knowledge in blockchain technologies and reinforce its leadership in the field of decentralized AI, exploring new opportunities to shape the digital future and expand its expertise in the emerging Web3 sector.
