NEAR Intents just crossed $20B in all-time volume.
And it got there fast. The first $10B took until January. The second $10B took four months. The line isn't rising, it's bending.
One day last week cleared over $2B in cross-chain swaps. In January, that was a full month of volume.
25M+ swaps, 70+ assets, any chain to any chain, nothing to sign up for. It quietly turned into one of the busiest settlement layers in crypto while everyone argued about L2s.
Twenty billion, and the curve's going vertical.

@therollupco@ilblackdragon@CryptoMichNL The "used it and bought a bag" arc is the most honest signal in crypto. No whitepaper convinces like actually swapping cross chain privately with low fees. NEAR intents is one of those products where the experience does the selling.
NEAR released something during a bear market which solved one of crypto's main problems - privacy
swap pretty much any coin to any chain - privately
how many charts look like this in crypto atm
even most perp dex metrics are trending down
🆕 Grayscale Research: @NEARProtocol went into building mode after the last cycle.
In 2026, it's back, and the story runs through AI.

and for those of you who are shilling zec and near, I wonder how many of you have used https://t.co/TJqr8Qo4HZ and zodl wallet to buy and self-custody the coins privately (instead of cex). i had some extensive convo with @zooko on this two weeks ago
here are some tips:
- use near confidential swaps
- withdraw to zodl wallet and actually use the rotating shielded addresses (instead of the transparent address even if it is more convenient)
- if you make regular transactions, and want to be extra private, do it across irregular timestamps and amounts
enjoyed nerding this stuff out hehe
INTERVIEW: Why $NEAR is Growing: The AI-Native Money Thesis - Intents, Privacy, & Tokenomics | @sal_ternullo@NEARProtocol is showing up more and more
- Integrated in @zodl_app, right before the $ZEC explosion
- Used in @AskVenice to create private AI inferece
- @infinex uses Near Intents for creating a unified wallet
What's going on over at @NEARProtocol, and how does Near adoption impact $NEAR?
@sal_ternullo, CEO of @svrn_ai, joins us to explain why he thinks the original NEAR thesis finally coming into focus.
They dig into NEAR Intents, AI money, tokenomics, privacy, fee capture, agentic commerce, and why SVRN is trying to commercialize the NEAR ecosystem rather than simply hold the asset.

$NEAR Confidential Intents TLDR
📌 Private cross-chain payments - sender, recipient, amount, routing all shielded
📌 The unlock: agentic finance is limited if every trade, payment & position is visible as it happens
📌 $15M in TVL in ~3 months
The privacy layer for AI agents. Breakdown 👇
@nikshepsvn Every point in this thread has a live $NEAR implementation behind it. Things like, Verifiable inference, agent wallets, private compute, cross-chain execution, & $ZEC fee scarcity. The sector is priced like a rounding error & NEAR is the most complete version of the whole thesis.

A friday reminder: As more forests are verified on @OpenForest_, more OCCs flow to Service Lockers. Your rewards grow with the network.
🔒Lock your $OPN → receive OCCs (Open Carbon Credits) from verified forest projects.
Every OCC is traceable on-chain: which forest, which project, which ground data. No more opaque carbon credit markets.

One pattern I've noticed evaluating Web3 infrastructure is that, the projects that matter most are usually invisible to casual observers.
They don't have flashy tokenomics or hype cycles, they solve real problems that developers actually need.
& @IronClawAI fits that profile.
As AI agents become core infrastructure on $NEAR , powering liquidations, yield optimization, & cross-chain orchestration.... there's a massive blind spot most projects ignore, which is: What happens when an agent is compromised? 🤷🏾♂️
That's not theoretical risk. It's inevitable risk.
#IronClaw is building the security layer that makes autonomous agents viable at scale, like:
• Verifiable agent execution.
• Cryptographic intent guarantees.
• Tamper-evident action logs.
• Multi-layer authorization frameworks.
#IronClaw represents the foundational trust layer. You can't scale agent-driven DeFi without solving this first.
From experience navigating infrastructure projects across blockchains, the pattern is always the same:
Projects that win long-term:
• solve unglamorous but critical problems
• maintain strong technical credibility
• align with ecosystem growth vectors
• resist short-term speculation pressure
#IronClaw checks all those boxes. It's positioned to benefit as $NEAR scales autonomous applications while maintaining the security guarantees that make that scaling possible at early stage, but this is the kind of infrastructure that compounds over time as the ecosystem matures.
