About

I'm submitting my project "Hermit" to the NEAR Hackathon @NEARProtocol. Hermit is a local AI that manages your onchain assets. What if you had an AI that manages your onchain assets, and it ran entirely on your own device? Most of onchain finance still has a technical

    The local AI narrative is sick. Is this the only product in the hackathon with both a PC and mobile app? Can’t wait for the official launch!

    Hi everyone, I'm Ryan, co-founder of Hermit. Hermit is an local agentic wallet for iPhone and Mac with an AI that runs on your own device. Ask in plain words to swap, bridge, trade, pay or stake. Hermit prepares it, and nothing is signed until you approve with Face ID. Our own model, Hermit 1.3, is 2.8 GB, works offline and never holds your keys. How Hermit uses NEAR: - NEAR Intents quotes every cross-chain swap and bridge - Private Cloud runs bigger questions on NEAR AI Cloud, after the device verifies the enclave - Every wallet has a NEAR account that can stake - Hermit Black Box (hermit-blackbox.near) fingerprints every AI money move on chain, never the chat - Hermit AI insurance (hermit-insurance.near): 1 USDC for 30 days, approved claims paid from a public pool - Hermit Guard (hermit-guard.near) gives an AI agent a budget with on-chain rules The last three are our own contracts on NEAR mainnet, all built during the hackathon.
