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!
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 My favorite June update was NEAR Intents powering cross-chain swaps in Unstoppable Wallet and SimpleSwap. It matters because the easier it becomes to move assets across different chains, the more useful crypto becomes for people.
What NEAR shipped last month:
✦ NEAR Intents crossed $22B+ in all-time volume and 28M+ total swaps.
✦ Confidential Intents TVL grew to over $28M.
✦ Hyperliquid perps went live on https://t.co/1n0j8823BT.
✦ GLM-5.2 went live on NEAR AI.
✦ [email protected]: an incentive milestone program for Confidential Intents users on https://t.co/1n0j8823BT kicked off.
✦ Virtual NEAR Backers Summit highlighted momentum across the stack.
✦ NEAR Intents began powering cross-chain swaps in Unstoppable Wallet.
✦ NEAR Intents began powering cross-chain swaps for SimpleSwap.
✦ Movement went live on NEAR Intents.
✦ The expanded NEAR Revenue Dashboard went live at https://t.co/8OTQLA9ukZ.
✦ NEAR previewed SPICE the next major protocol upgrade.
✦ Hypercore went live on NEAR Intents.
✦ Hinkal Pay and Hinkal Prime integrated NEAR Intents.
✦ NEAR Legion hosted an IronClaw hackathon and events.
✦ NEAR AI Cloud integrated across 17 open-source AI projects, including Goose, Eliza, and the Vercel AI SDK.
And much more.
NEAR is the most scalable & decentralized crypto today
Finding the "holy grail" in design & building it! Solving the blockchain trilemma
A great discussion with NEAR's founder @ilblackdragon, as the Bons Review is back! 🔥
Join us as we dive deep into NEAR's incredible design:
$NEAR $VVV $SOL $XPL $MINIMAX
my top 5 bets right now
$NEAR - ultrafast chain that fixes cryptos UX core problems -- native accounts on every chain, native privacy, cross-chain swaps w/ AI cloud for inference, own privacy focused openclaw (ironclaw), insane team and more
$VVV - most undervalued AI company available imo -- 3M+ users, 10x growth in tokens over last 6 months, unique crypto-native compute bond, consumer distribution, enterprise-ready API, every model you can think of, privacy + no censorship as architecture
$SOL - best developers/founders + ecosystem + community imo. ultrafast, scalable, great UX, so many apps, will soon compete for perps/PMs and other categories too -- long way to go
$XPL - bet on stablecoin/global neobank adoption, no equity so all value goes to token, insane team and super young project so lots left to release/see -- will explode with deeper integration with tether if they choose to move away from tron
$MINIMAX - only frontier-level AI company that hasn't exploded post IPO, trades at a much better multiple than $ZHIPU, larger M3 LLM and hailou 3 video model release is coming soon
@MobilePunch I'm not disputing that she earned her ICAN qualification. What I find hard to believe is the age. Unless there's a clear explanation of the academic path she followed, the timeline just doesn't add up for me. I'm open to being corrected, but I'd need to see the details.
@MobilePunch Unless there's an unusual academic pathway involved, the timeline doesn't seem to add up. I'd love to know the full story before believing the headline.
@MobilePunch I'm genuinely curious. How does someone become a chartered accountant at 16? Even with accelerated schooling, you still have to complete primary, secondary and tertiary education, then meet the requirements for ICAN.
