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.
@NEARProtocol The most interesting thing is the NEAR AI CLOUD integrated across 17 open-source AI projects, including Goose,Eliza,and the vercel AI SDK.
It's a huge step toward making Ai development on NEAR more accessible and composable
We are in a crypto bull market for value assets!
Let the dino coins bleed out & join the party: SOL, HYPE & NEAR are booming for their usage, fees & PMF
Privacy chains ZEC, XMR & ZANO rise. The free market is finally working!
The future is decentralized, private & scalable! 🔥

🚨 I just bought more $NEAR
The interesting thing about $NEAR is that I don’t think it has to follow whatever Bitcoin does next.
What I see is that despite all the fear, $NEAR is still holding around the same area and buyers keep defending the $2 zone. The AI narrative is still there, the ecosystem is still active, and there is no major unlock pressure hanging over the coin.
For me, the important level is around $2.30-$2.35. If NEAR can break above that area, I think $2.50 comes very fast and then people will start changing their opinion again.
It can dump more as nothing goes up in a straight line. If we see lower prices, I’m ready to buy more.
Not every project earns a second look,
IronClaw did.
After exploring it, I found a smooth experience, practical features, and plenty of potential. It's exciting to see projects like this emerging from the #NEAR ecosystem.

A funfact
The next AI breakthrough won't be smarter agents.
It'll be trustworthy agents.
That's what makes @IronClawAI interesting to me.
An AI agent framework on @NEARProtocol focused on secure, autonomous, and verifiable execution laying the foundation for agents.
@NEARLegion@IronClawAI@near_ai IronClaw looks really promising.
I like the privacy-focused approach—running agents in encrypted enclaves makes the experience feel more secure and reliable overall.
How does IronClaw balance security with flexibility for developers?
@NEARLegion This is exciting.
Really like the focus on privacy—running agents in encrypted enclaves is a big win, though performance on heavier tasks might be a concern.
How does IronClaw ensure both security and flexibility for developers?
Now I have 12 referrals on my Near Legion referral mission and guess what? 10 of them are ladies! 💃
I’m so proud seeing more women stepping up and joining the Near Legion community. 👑
If you’re a lady and still thinking about it this is your chance to join us! 💫
