NEAR Intents has announced the activation of a default revenue-sharing mechanism, set to go live on February 23, 2026. The update will include an automatic fee distribution system via third-party distribution channels, with all fees collected in the token.
Revenue Sharing to Go Live on February 23
According to the announcement, the new model will automatically distribute revenue generated through the Intents layer integrations. The system is designed to share protocol-generated fees with third-party distribution partners that route transactions through the Intents layer.
This marks a structural update to how value flows within the ecosystem, aligning incentives between infrastructure providers and external distribution platforms.

All Fees to Be Collected
One important aspect of this update is that all fees for the new system will be collected in the altcoin. This will provide a standardized settlement for all transactions processed through the Intents layer.
By charging the fees in the altcoin:
- The protocol simplifies value capture in its native token
- The distribution partners receive rewards in a consistent asset
- The broader ecosystem of the altcoin could also see increased token utility
The move also serves to reinforce the position of the token as the central economic entity in the Intents system.
Integration With Third-Party Distribution Channels
The revenue-sharing mechanism is applicable for third-party distribution channels that incorporate the Intents layer. These distribution channels facilitate the routing of user activity, transactions, and liquidity into the protocol.
Under the new default model:
- Revenue distribution will be automatic
- A share of the fees will be allocated to the integrated partners
- The process will not require manual configuration
This method minimizes operational friction and standardizes participation for ecosystem partners.
Alignment With NEAR Ecosystem Expansion
The update was announced as part of a broader push to grow the altcoins ecosystem and strengthen incentives for developers and partners. With the introduction of automatic revenue sharing, the Intents layer seeks to facilitate the development of the token ecosystem sustainably.
The timing of the rollout may also align with ecosystem developments and increased promotion of the altcoins initiatives, thus hastening the acceptance of the new model.
