NEAR Protocol is making waves with one of its most significant technical upgrades yet. NEAR Protocol announced via X that an upcoming network upgrade will enable the protocol to add shards automatically as demand grows — delivering on NEAR's founding vision of building the world's most scalable blockchain protocol at the highest level of performance.
What is Dynamic Resharding?
In simple terms, resharding means the blockchain can split itself into more pieces (shards) to handle more traffic — automatically, without any human involvement. Dynamic resharding ensures that when a shard hits a state size threshold, it splits deterministically and is validated by state witnesses with no human intervention.
This is a huge leap from how most blockchains work today, where scaling requires manual upgrades and causes network disruptions.
Where does it stand now?
NEAR Protocol announced network upgrade 2.13 coming in June 2026, which will introduce post-quantum-safe signing and NEAR Intents' automated sharding — called dynamic resharding — to improve the network infrastructure.
This isn't coming out of nowhere either. In 2025, NEAR scaled its mainnet infrastructure from six to nine shards, raising throughput by 50%. With dynamic resharding now active, the network can adjust its structure as demand increases, offering a route to horizontal scalability without disrupting application performance.
The 1 Million TPS Milestone
The protocol reached a major technical benchmark, hitting one million transactions per second (TPS) in a public test using live core code and accessible hardware — proving the viability of sharded blockchain architecture in supporting high-load decentralized applications.
Market Reaction
The market noticed. NEAR is up over 3% amid the announcement, holding a bullish near-term bias as price holds above both the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), with the RSI rising into overbought territory at 71 on the daily chart.
Coins to Watch
This news directly impacts $NEAR (NEAR Protocol's native token), but the broader AI + scalability narrative is also lifting related assets:
$NEAR — the primary beneficiary of this upgrade$TAO (Bittensor) — extending gains alongside NEAR, likely driven by the AI infrastructure narrative$ETH — indirectly affected, as NEAR positions itself as a faster, cheaper Layer-1 alternative
Bottom Line: Dynamic resharding is NEAR's answer to the blockchain trilemma — speed, security, and decentralization all at once. The upgrade means NEAR Intents' infrastructure will scale automatically with demand, benefiting users across the multi-chain ecosystem. If it delivers at scale, ould see serious renewed attention from both developers and investors throughout 2026.
