 ## Let Your Agent use NEAR
 
-AI Agents can easily control account and assets on all blockchains thanks to NEARs unique features. You simply need to give them access to a NEAR account and they can start interacting with smart contracts, sending transactions, and managing assets everywhere.

-## Build Trustless Multi-Chain Agents
-
-The [Shade Agent Framework](./shade-agents/getting-started/introduction.md) enables to build **verifiable** **multi-chain AI agents**. These agents operate in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and leverage NEAR features such as multi-key management and Chain Signatures to securely manage assets and sign transactions across multiple blockchains.
-
-Shade agents can autonomously sign transactions on any chain, interact with AI models and external data sources, and perform privacy-preserving, verifiable computations.

 ## Common Questions
 
-### Can Trustless Agents lose access to their wallets?
-Not with Shade Agents. They use decentralized key management—any instance of the agent with the same code can access the same accounts.
-
 ### Do I need to know blockchain development?
 Our tools and resources help to abstract away the complexity of blockchain development.
 
 ### What chains can my agent interact with?
-NEAR accounts allow to transact on all chains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana thanks to Chain Signatures.
+NEAR accounts allow to transact on most chains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana thanks to Chain Signatures.

+After April 19th, 2026, the Shade Agent Framework will no longer maintained as standalone developer tooling. Its documentation has been moved to the Shade Agent monorepo and is available here: https://github.com/NearDeFi/shade-agent-framework/tree/main/docs.

+While the framework remains open source, it will no longer be actively maintained. Teams that choose to use it should plan to assume responsibility for maintenance, updates, and any necessary fixes.
