@weswinder If weโre looking for the โLinux of AI,โ it has to be neutral and open by design.
NEAR Protocol stands out for two simple reasons:
Itโs building AI-native infrastructure, not just adding AI as a narrative.
Chain abstraction + strong UX makes it usable beyond crypto natives ๐ค ๐๐ป
@heyibinance Lower fees are great. More users, better.
But the real shift comes with AI-native infrastructure & user-owned assets.
Thatโs where NEAR Protocol quietly moves ahead.
Not louder โ just building ๐ค
@0xNairolf AI-as-a-Service really feels like the new consulting.
But when agents handle data and workflows, security is everything.
Thatโs why infrastructure like NEAR Protocol โ focused on secure, verifiable AI โ quietly matters more than people think.
Secure AI > just AI ๐ค ๐๐ป
@wacy_time1 Execution + UX for agents will matter more than people expect.
Chains that natively support identity, async execution, privacy, and seamless payments will have the edge.
Some ecosystems โ like NEAR โ already seem quietly positioned for that shift ๐ค
@BillionAireSon 6๏ธโฃ Market Attention โ Project Health Crypto narratives rotate.
Lack of hype doesnโt equal lack of progress.
Historically, projects that build quietly during downturns often lead the next cycle.
@BillionAireSon Why NEAR Protocol Is NOT a Dead Project
1๏ธโฃ Active Development & Shipping Dead chains donโt ship products.
NEAR continues to roll out infrastructure upgrades, AI integrations, and ecosystem tools. Development activity is ongoing.
@BillionAireSon 5๏ธโฃ Strong Treasury & Foundation The NEAR Foundation is still active, funding builders and expanding ecosystem initiatives.
Dead projects donโt fund hackathons or new infra.
@BillionAireSon 4๏ธโฃ Superior UX Architecture Native account abstraction, human-readable addresses, and flexible fee models โ NEAR focused on usability long before it became a trend.
@BillionAireSon 3๏ธโฃ AI Infrastructure Narrative NEAR strategically positioned itself in the AI + blockchain intersection.
With initiatives around AI agents and AI-native infra, itโs aligned with the strongest emerging narrative in tech right now.
@BillionAireSon 2๏ธโฃ Real Sharding (Nightshade) While many L1s talk about scalability, NEAR implemented dynamic sharding (Nightshade).
Thatโs real horizontal scaling โ not just roadmap promises.
@vinibarbosabr@near_ai@ilblackdragon Love seeing a security-first approach here.
Rust + WASM and a strong NEAR team behind IronClaw definitely make it interesting ๐ค
One thing Iโm curious about though: how are credentials handled at runtime โ are they fully isolated from both the LLM loop and external tools?
@zacodil It seems like an interesting and unique idea. Think about having emails related to the wallet or any topic related to Near in just one special email. It would be great ๐ค ๐

@zacodil If near is truly included in the top-tier reputable ETFs, it could have a very high level of legitimacy and credibility. I personally encourage everyone to get near ETFs ๐ค โ๐ป
