In short...
@NEARProtocol isn't locked into one ecosystem.
It plays nice with any chain, any asset, any market, any AI model too.
For the liquidity part, they’ve got routing options that don’t exist elsewhere.
Privacy is built in with confidential intents + verifiable AI.
It’s been rock solid for 5+ years with zero downtime.
They’re also going into AI agents with NEAR AI Cloud, this thing called IronClaw (basically a secure personal AI agent OS) and an Agent Market.
So basically, near:native is trying to be the flexible, private, reliable home for crypto and AI agents.

@TheDeFinvestor This is a great watchlist, but for me, this week is all about $NEAR! I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of fundamental bombshell they are going to drop in "The Big Reveal" livestream. Thanks for the heads-up.

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!
