A few hours ago #NEAR Testnet went through the first unattended dynamic resharding splitting shard 3 into two halves. A nice side effect is that state sync now takes half the time. Next stop: Mainnet. Keep shipping @NEARProtocol
Shard 3 was the largest one, so anyone syncing their node from scratch needed to get 2356 parts for the state sync and you can only apply these sequentially. New shards now require 1179 parts each. Perfect automated split!

@NEARProtocol The favourite new for me is NEAR intent crossing $22B+ in all time volume and 28M total swaps. NEAR Intents is proving that chain abstraction isn't just a vision, it's being used at large scale.
The June 2026 buyback is complete.
Since July 30th, 2025, total buybacks have reached 17,750,000 $RHEA — roughly $250,000 at current value, or about 30–40% of protocol revenue since launch.
Buybacks will continue, and a new RHEA stakers and oRHEA incentive model arrives in early August.
A NEAR founder is drafting a proposal to make NEAR a FIXED SUPPLY coin. No more inflation, a hard cap, the thing that made Bitcoin Bitcoin.
Right now NEAR prints about 2.4% new tokens a year to pay validators/stakers, a quiet tax on every holder. FIXED SUPPLY ENDS THAT. The coins that exist become all the coins there will ever be.
The usual catch is that this inflation is what pays for security. NEAR barely needs it, because the cryptography does the heavy lifting. With SPICE, the upcoming upgrade that splits ordering transactions from computing them, one node executes a state transition and publishes a proof, and everyone else just checks that proof. a single honest prover keeps the chain correct, and a fake proof gets rejected on sight. You can't cheat math, so you don't need inflation to keep the network safe.
So who pays validators without inflation? real revenue does. NEAR already earns serious fees from Intents and apps, more than enough to pay validators a flat, predictable reward, even fixed in dollar terms, for keeping high-uptime infrastructure online. it stays permissionless: anyone can run one, and the pay comes from real usage, not from any foundation's goodwill.
+Bitcoin capped supply but tied its security to a reward that shrinks toward zero. NEAR can cap supply and pay for security out of real usage instead.
near:native , the soundest money thesis in crypto, on a chain that actually gets used.

A look under the hood at how Intents is built to be the money rail for agentic finance ↓
You just made your first $1M. Your brain immediately jumps to the bigger house, the nicer car, that business idea you’ve been itching to execute.
Resist all of it, that instinct is exactly why most people who come into money are broke again within a few years.
The move nobody teaches you: do nothing.
Let it sit. Don’t deploy it, don’t try to flip it, don’t show it off. Park it somewhere safe that pays you while you think. Lock it into a 2–3 month yield-bearing instrument e.g T-bills, low-risk positions, safe and battle-tested protocols.
You’re not trying to get rich off it; you’re already there. You’re buying yourself time to think clearly and getting paid to do it.
Run the numbers. $1M at just 5% APR:
→ $50,000 a year → $4,167 a month → $137 a day
Every day you wake up, $137 landed in your account. You didn’t touch your principal. You didn’t lift a finger, and if that 5% compounds daily, you’re closer to $51,200 a year, the money starts making money on the money.
So before you spend a single dollar or naira, ask yourself one question: can this purchase pay for itself from the interest alone? If yes, you’ve earned it. If no, you’re eating your seed.
Anyone can GET money. Keeping it is a different skill entirely and it starts with the discipline to sit still while everyone expects you to splurge.
Sometimes parking it and letting it pay you is the best play ever. This is from experience, don’t joke with your once-in-a-lifetime SEED when it comes your way.
We don't need reminders that Nigeria is broken.
We see it in the roads.
We feel it in the economy.
We hear it in the stories of kidnappings and insecurity.
We experience it in the daily struggle to survive.
But Democracy Day is not just about celebrating where we are.
It's about asking whether we're becoming the nation we were promised.
A nation where citizens feel safe.
A nation where businesses can thrive.
A nation where opportunities are earned through hard work, not connections.
A nation where leadership is measured by impact, not promises.
The Nigeria we want is still possible.
But it begins when citizens stay informed, stay involved, and hold leaders accountable.
Democracy is more than a public holiday.
It's our collective voice.
It's our collective responsibility.
It's our power to shape the future we deserve.
The road ahead may be difficult, but giving up on Nigeria is not an option.
- Better governance.
- Better security.
- Better opportunities.
- Better lives.
That's the Nigeria worth fighting for.
🇳🇬 Happy Democracy Day.
