📢Good news! The NEAR Foundation recently announced the launch of "*NEAR NAME Tokens", a multi-chain, cross-platform digital identity for Web3 and beyond. 🎉This is a comprehensive digital identity solution that covers the broader Web3 ecosystem. 🌐

Users can use this token in a variety of ways, including as a simplified wallet address, infrastructure identifier, cross-platform username, and even a verifiable credential (VC). 😎In addition, users can also use it to obtain unique benefits and rewards programs for participating in the D3 ecosystem, or as an expression of the .NEAR equivalent domain name on the Internet. 🎁

It is worth noting that the "*NEAR Name Token" has an asterisk (*) between the name and the extension, such as you*near, instead of a period (.). This is partly because NEAR accounts already use the .NEAR extension. 🔍

This innovative move will undoubtedly bring new vitality and possibilities to the blockchain industry, let us wait and see! 🚀
