if you’re bullish on $VVV, it’s hard not to get bullish on $NEAR too..

Venice uses NEAR AI Cloud as one of the providers for its private inference. that’s what helps process user prompts without Venice or the machine operator reading them..

you can also lock $NEAR and receive credits for private AI models and agent hosting without selling your tokens.

VVV needs Venice to keep growing.

NEAR can benefit from Venice and every other app that uses its private AI infrastructure.

reason why the NEAR side looks super mispriced to me.

ZEC, VVV, NEAR looking nice together

An explanation of @NEARProtocol Intents, in (very) simple terms. 🧵

[Zoomer Oracle @ZoomerOracle]

I woke up and decided to add more to my $NEAR bags

I'm not fading my own original thesis, double digits

[Res @resdegen]

Reminder the main private inference of Venice $VVV is provided by @near_ai

[Vini B 「thecoding.dev」 @vinibarbosabr]

5 things to not forget as $ZEC is rallying

1. Zcash on NEAR Intents in 2025 was the ignite (important: growth is a zcash community merit)

2. A large part of ZEC volume flows via Intents

3. 50% of appFees are for protocol revenue: NEAR buybacks

4. More attention = more volume = more fees = more revenue = more $NEAR buybacks = more burn

5. NEAR inflation halving (cutting tail emission by half from 5% to 2.5%) happened 11 months ago, meaning validators now have half what they had in previous cycles to sell; all vested NEAR has already been unlocked, and the Foundation (the largest holder) is committed to improving the tokenomics and creating incentives for market value increase

here’s how to get gas on zcash (cheap)

>go to @NEARProtocol
>fund account
>swap to $ZEC
>send all to wl’d shielded address
>it lands in 5-10min

now you’re ready for zecbit mint anon

enjoy 🗿

Near Intents is the only truly useful consumer privacy product I know

[Cameron.near @Cameron_Dennis_]

Verifiably private GLM‑5.3 Flash is now on @near_ai!

It matches Opus 4.8 on performance yet costs just $0.075/M input tokens and $0.25/M output tokens.

That is 1/67th and 1/100th of Opus pricing 🤯

[Philip Skeete @PhilipSkeete]

Spent today running a proper latency A/B on GLM-5.3-Flash across our two stake-for-inference providers: @AskVenice and @near_ai. Both let you stake tokens once and draw inference against that stake instead of paying per token.

NEAR's leg runs inside a confidential TEE enclave with a signed attestation report you can actually pull and verify. Same 20-request probe set, same payload sizes, run back to back.

Time to first token (median, small requests)
• NEAR: 0.74s
• Venice: ~1.1s

Time to first token, warm agent turn (large cached prompt)
• NEAR: 1.6s
• Venice: 2.0s

Decode speed
• NEAR: 239–261 tok/s
• Venice: 42 tok/s

Reliability
• NEAR: 20/20 clean
• Venice: 20/20 clean

The enclave adds zero visible latency. Confidential inference used to mean accepting a speed tax. Not here. Staked, attested, private inference, and it was the fastest lane we measured.

Then we dropped it into our real agent harness at high effort. ~5s per turn on ~100K prompt once the cache was warm. Within a hair of the frontier model it's replacing, at a fraction of the cost, running in a TEE enclave.

Really nice work from @Pierre_Le_Guen and the NEAR team. GLM-5.3-Flash on NEAR is now a first-class lane for us at an unbeatable price: Input: $0.075 - Output:$0.25 - Cache:$0.015

[Zoomer Oracle @ZoomerOracle]

$NEAR looking good especially with $ZEC strength, time to put it on my watchlist again

[Alex Shevchenko 🇺🇦 @AlexAuroraDev]

NEAR Confidential TVL crossed $50M today. The higher this number is, the better the privacy gets.

This is just the beginning of making crypto on par with TradiFi wrt privacy.

[nikshep @nikshepsvn]

if $ZEC and privacy grows, $NEAR grows

if retail onchain activity grows, $NEAR grows

if agents activity grows, $NEAR grows

$NEAR is onchain connectivity tissue, and uniquely so, if this is the start of the bull run, then $NEAR will benefit uniquely as money starts moving

[Camran Khosravi @CamKhosravi]

NEAR is super underrated

especially their confidential intents (which are less than a year old btw)

The Privacy Frontier: ZK meets TEE https://t.co/jBxGSlnrfI

[nikshep @nikshepsvn]

$NEAR intents usage seems to be spiking as volume and activity returns onchain

my guess is this will continue to grow dramatically over the next few weeks, the last 7 days have been crazy for the protocol

PT of $3 is extremely reasonable

[Cooper Westendarp @cooperwest]

August 24, 2026

The last 24 hours fee buybacks exceeded inflation for @NEARProtocol at today's prices.

33M NEAR inflation annually @ $1.95 current price = $64.35M annual buybacks needed to exceed annual inflation

$64.35M / 365 days = $176,301 daily buybacks needed to exceed inflation at this time

$145.6M @near_intents volume from today x .00138 average intents fee = $200,928 in intents fees estimated today to buyback $near (.00138 is the current Gross Fee Rate per https://t.co/0EIMKD8tpj, which is dynamic and may vary slightly over time depending on front end volume)

At $200,928, fee buybacks today are 1.14x the daily threshold, exceeding inflation ($176,301).
