SUPPORTED NETWORK · NEARNEAR STAKING WITH ATLAS
Atlas runs an independent, noncustodially operated validator pool on NEAR, the sharded blockchain behind a growing agent and AI application ecosystem. The pool is outside NEAR’s active set at the moment, so it isn’t taking delegations today. We’re looking for one large delegator to bring it back, and we’ll hand that delegator a dedicated operations team, 0% commission, and a share of the pool rewards.

Live price, one line, no noise. Prices and rewards are never guaranteed. This is context for a decision, not a quote.

YOUR NEAR VALIDATOR
Independent validator operations for NEAR Protocol. The Atlas validator is outside NEAR’s active set at the moment, so it isn’t accepting delegations or producing rewards until it returns to the set.
NEAR seats its active set by stake. The Atlas validator sits below that threshold right now, so new delegations wouldn’t earn anything, and we’d rather say so than take them. We’re looking for one large delegator to bring the validator back into the set.

OUR NEAR NUMBERS
Atlas operates NEAR Protocol validator infrastructure. The live card reads rank, bonded stake, and delegator count from current public data, so you can check where the pool stands against NEAR’s active set at any time.

WHY STAKE NEAR DIRECTLY?
Support the validator network that secures NEAR and its sharded application environment.
Your NEAR stays under your control
Atlas never takes custody of your wallet. You approve every delegation, reward, redelegation, and undelegation transaction.
Choose an independent validator
Delegating beyond the largest operators can help distribute voting power across the network.
Verify current public data
The Atlas validator card checks network identity and data freshness before showing live figures.
NEAR STAKING GUIDES
These walkthroughs cover how delegation to the Atlas pool works, how to verify the validator, and how to keep control of your tokens throughout. The pool isn’t in NEAR’s active set right now, so treat them as reference for when it returns rather than steps to follow today.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK
What is NEAR Protocol?
NEAR Protocol is a proof of stake network. Its documentation explains the network role, token utility, and current protocol rules in detail.
What is NEAR used for?
NEAR is used within NEAR Protocol for staking and network participation. Uses can include fees and governance depending on current protocol rules.
Can I stake NEAR with Atlas right now?
Not at the moment. The Atlas pool is outside NEAR’s active set, so a delegation to it wouldn’t earn rewards and we’d rather tell you that than take it. Once the pool is back in the set, you’d connect a supported wallet, verify Atlas Staking and the validator identifier, choose an amount, and approve the transaction, keeping enough liquid tokens for network fees. If you’re holding a large amount of NEAR and you’d like to be the delegator who brings the pool back, get in touch through the form on this page.
Who controls my NEAR after I delegate?
You do. Delegation doesn’t give Atlas your recovery phrase or ownership of your tokens. Your wallet authorizes every staking transaction.
How long does it take to unstake NEAR?
The live card reads the current network value when a public endpoint makes it available. Confirm the value in your wallet before approving an undelegation because protocol parameters can change.
How are NEAR staking rewards calculated?
Rewards depend on current network issuance, total bonded stake, validator performance, and validator commission. Rates can change and aren’t guaranteed.
What should I review before choosing a validator?
Confirm current status, commission, operating history, governance participation, and contribution to decentralization. The Atlas card checks current public data before displaying validator figures.
What are the main risks of staking NEAR?
NEAR can lose market value, rewards can change, and bonded tokens can be unavailable during unstaking. Validator downtime or protocol violations may cause penalties under network rules.
Bring the Atlas NEAR validator back
NEAR seats its active set by stake, and the Atlas validator sits below that line right now. One large delegation puts it back in the set, and we’d rather hand the value from that back to the delegator who makes it happen than keep it for ourselves.
If you hold a meaningful amount of NEAR and you’d like a validator team that answers to you, we’d like to hear from you.
- A dedicated operations team on your validator, reachable directly
- 0% commission on your delegation
- A share of the rewards the pool earns
- Hardware we own and run ourselves in Amsterdam
- Every conversation stays confidential
Staking rewards depend on network issuance, total bonded stake and protocol rules, so they vary and they’re never guaranteed.
One validator We’ll take it from there
The Atlas NEAR validator runs on hardware we own in Amsterdam. It’s waiting on the stake it needs to rejoin NEAR’s active set, and we’d like to talk to the delegator who can provide it.
