ICP Smart Contracts Begin Executing NEAR Transactions Natively

ICP HUB Egypt has introduced an update to its backend architecture that allows Internet Computer (ICP) smart contracts to execute NEAR transactions directly, without any client-side code. This approach positions smart contracts as fully autonomous, programmable agents that can operate continuously without manual intervention.

At the centre of this development is a NEAR-specific on-chain RPC Oracle canister, designed to cryptographically verify NEAR data and transactions. The team says this reduces latency, enhances reliability, and enables trust-minimised execution around the clock. By removing the need for client-side logic, the update allows contracts to initiate transactions independently while maintaining the integrity of the data they process.

ICP HUB Egypt emphasises that the architecture is not limited to NEAR. It is designed to extend seamlessly to other blockchains including Monad, TRON, SUI, and Cardano through Motoko-driven workflows and cross-chain messaging. This high-speed backend compute model enables true 24/7 programmable execution, opening the door to sophisticated multichain automation.

The project is positioned as a step toward what ICP HUB Egypt calls “autonomous-chain” functionality. Instead of simply connecting chains, the system allows smart contracts to act as agents capable of executing complex workflows across multiple networks, coordinating transactions, and verifying states without intermediaries.

The team credits technical leads and engineers Jumana Nehad and Nour Ahmed, who have been working on ICP for two years and have trained over 600 engineers in the past six months. Their experience underpins the hub’s focus on developer accessibility and secure, scalable infrastructure.

While the update is still in active development, ICP HUB Egypt plans to roll out additional documentation and testing opportunities in the coming weeks. Observers note that real-world adoption and audit results will be key to understanding the potential and security of autonomous cross-chain execution.

If successful, this could redefine how smart contracts interact with multiple blockchains, transforming them from passive instruction sets into independent agents capable of executing complex operations across networks continuously. The development marks a notable evolution in cross-chain automation and signals the growing ambition of ICP as a platform for multichain programmability.
