@TheDeFinvestor Looking forward to NEAR's "The Big Reveal." It'll be interesting to see whether the announcement brings meaningful ecosystem progress beyond the initial market reaction.

[The DeFi Investor 🔎 @TheDeFinvestor]

Crypto Watchlist for the week ahead:

$JUP - Jupiter will launch the private beta of GUM, its new everything exchange, on July 6

$NEAR - Near Protocol will host a livestream called "The Big Reveal" on July 7

$LIT - Tokenized stocks on Lighter are expected to launch next week

$JTO - Jito is rumored to launch JTX, a new perps DEX on Solana, in mid-July

$ZEC - Some good news for Zcash is coming next week, according to Mert

$BERA - Berachain's PoL Next, its biggest upgrade since mainnet launch, goes live on July 7

$ETHFI - EtherFi just requested Aave DAO to create a dedicated Aave V4 instance hub for its EtherFi Cash product

@near_ai The distinction between experimentation and enterprise adoption really stood out. Privacy-first, context-aware agents are what businesses need to move beyond AI pilots into real operational value. Looking forward to seeing NEAR FDE bring this vision to production.

@rhea_finance Great to see the migration process simplified into just a few steps. Lowering the friction for users while improving yield is exactly what DeFi needs. Looking forward to seeing more adoption. 🚀

@_bendersgreat_ @NEARProtocol From Nightshade to dynamic resharding, it's great to see NEAR's scaling roadmap turning into production-ready features. Quiet infrastructure upgrades like this are what make long-term adoption possible. 🚀💚

[Anton A @_bendersgreat_]

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!

@rhea_finance Really like the consistency here. Revenue-backed buybacks show a long-term approach rather than a short-term marketing move. Looking forward to seeing how the new staking and oRHEA incentive model builds on this.

[Rhea Finance @rhea_finance]

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.

@zacodil Moving from inflation-funded security to usage-funded security feels like the natural next step for a network focused on real adoption. Excited to see the full proposal. This is the kind of discussion I like seeing.

[Vadim (AI, ⋈) @zacodil]

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 A month like this shows that meaningful progress isn't one big announcement.
it's consistent improvements across products, infrastructure, and developer tools. Great to see. 👏

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

What NEAR shipped last month:

✦ NEAR Intents crossed $22B+ in all-time volume and 28M+ total swaps.
✦ Confidential Intents TVL grew to over $28M.

@Kalshi_Crypto A regulated perpetuals market on NEAR is a meaningful step forward. It's a huge milestone for the ecosystem, and it's exciting to see more institutional-grade infrastructure being built around it.

[Kalshi Crypto @Kalshi_Crypto]

NEAR Perpetuals are now live for trading.

The first US regulated perpetuals on NEAR.

Only on Kalshi.

@Justin_Bons @ilblackdragon The blockchain trilemma is easy to discuss but incredibly hard to solve. I appreciate NEAR's focus on making decentralization and scalability practical for both developers and everyday users, not just chasing benchmark numbers. Looking forward to this discussion.

[Justin Bons @Justin_Bons]

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:

[Lok (⋈, 🤖) @LOK07_]

Most AI agent projects talk about automation.
Very few talk about what happens when agents start handling real capital, private strategies, and cross-chain execution.

That’s the gap @IronClawAI is solving.

The interesting part isn’t just AI agents, it’s the architecture behind them:

• confidential execution
• isolated strategy environments
• secure coordination between agents
• verifiable on-chain actions

Without that foundation, “agent economies” break the moment real value enters the system.
What makes IronClaw interesting to me is that it’s approaching AI infrastructure from a security-first angle instead of purely a UX angle.

That narrative is probably going to matter a lot more over the next cycle. ⚔️
