We are super pumped and thankful to @here_wallet for having been chosen as the staking platform for their project, looking forward to growing #NEARProtocol ecosystem together and providing stable services to our users! #NearEcosystem
[email protected] is live: an incentive milestone program for people using Confidential Intents on nearโ.com.
If you've been swapping confidentially, you're already in for Drop 1.
NEAR intents processed $18.97b in cumulative volume across 32 chains. $220m monthly volume growing 200%+ MoM. protocol just halved inflation from 5% to 2.5% in october and runs a fee burn on intent swaps. $50m annualized revenue vs $35m in validator emissions. at $2.85b fully unlocked FDV, this is an L1 approaching net negative issuance while most chains are still subsidizing usage with 8 figure annual emissions. zcash integration alone drives 30% of intent volume. 78% of flow is stablecoins. this is infrastructure revenue, not speculation
~$3,000,000 inflows into the Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP for European investors so far this week.
~$36,000,000 AUM.
The @NEARProtocol has been executing. Love to see it.

near protocol is building the privacy layer for AI agents and the market hasn't caught up. venice AI running 4m users through near cloud TEEs for confidential inference. confidential intents shipping private cross-chain swaps via ZK + MPC. paradigm, a16z, and multicoin backed the ZODL wallet integrating zcash with near intents. $1.41, still 80%+ below ATH. tornado sanctions lifted, grayscale filed a privacy ETF, and near is the cross-chain privacy router connecting all of it. when AI agents hit scale and need to transact without leaking strategy to MEV bots, the infrastructure has to already exist. it's being built right now on near and priced like it doesn't matter
Quantum computing is a threat to every blockchain protocol. NEAR's architecture already makes accounts and assets more quantum-secure than most chains.
The team is now adding post-quantum cryptography to secure NEAR and the wider Intents ecosystem.
Here's what's underway ๐งต
NEARCON is time for NEAR Intents fees to go brrr.
On February 23, 2026, NEAR Intents will activate an automatic default revenue-sharing mechanism with third-party distribution channels. All fees will be collected in $NEAR.
@balajis you can already do private inference with models 90% as good as Opus with https://t.co/N2citpbh90 integration with @near_ai thnx to @serrrfirat
@ilblackdragon@near_ai@openclaw@serrrfirat awesome contribution! @near_ai when more models?
@ilblackdragon can you share whats your current setup? We bought a DGX Spark for the team for a private local instance to share with limitations. I'll test near_ai, should be more performant for deeper logic tasks
