Today, NEAR Intents crossed $20B in all-time volume.
Twenty. Billion.
Along the way we added new chains, new assets, confidentiality, near(.)com, and a whole lot more.
The best part?
Many of the things we're most excited about haven't even launched yet.
See you at the next milestone.
I'm not directly involved with near unlike zec & sol, but I've been consistent that it's obviously underrated given what it can do for a while
so it's satisfying to see a vibe shift around it
if they nail their gtm, decrease distractions, and increase focus, this could be fun
๐จ Aurora Intents is live ๐จ
Every app loses users at the same moment.
Wrong chain. Too many steps. They leave.
We built the fix.
Ready-to-use solutions, powered by @near_intents:
โฆ Intents Connect - one-click from any chain to any vault, stake, position
โฆ Intents Deposits - 30+ chains, 100+ assets, zero friction onboarding
โฆ Intents Swap - cross-chain swaps in your app today
No bridging. No chain switching. No drop-off.
What are you building?

Yesterday @litecoin published the MWEB security incident post-mortem. Read it first if you want to follow this thread: https://t.co/tR9v9GuJ23
Credit to LF for the detailed report. But there's one lesson missing from "lessons learned", and it's the most important one. ๐งต
So if you havenโt heard of https://t.co/4iWX9VnPCv then you still have time to catchup! In fact there is currently I submission I saw thatโs of particular interest! An Aurora anthem.
Submit your best work and it will become the Alphaleaks theme each week!
Better still Iโll personally reward the creator of the song I think is best!

1M TPS is a serious milestone not just for NEAR but for the entire blockchain industry. Traditional payment processors like Visa and Mastercard can only handle around 80k transactions per second. This scaling feat proves blockchain infrastructure is more than ready for mainstream adoption.
This benchmark used real nearcore code, affordable hardware (only 8 core CPUs per node), and realistic cross-shard traffic. We used 70 shards in the benchmark and it showcases that horizontal scaling through sharding truly works and you don't need expensive machines to get to 1m TPS. Our scripts are open-source and publicly verifiable so the wider blockchain ecosystem can validate these claims.
Very proud of the NEAR One teamโs work here. These runs helped us analyze and make numerous engineering enhancements across NEARโs execution and consensus layers that weโve rolled into the latest version release.
And 1M TPS is not nearly the limit. Between sharded smart contracts, dynamic resharding, and separation of consensus and execution, NEAR will keep scaling even further horizontally. We will continue to open-source our benchmarks and performance as we discover the full possibilities of sharded infrastructure.
