the $zec exploit actually made me more bullish on near. tl;dr a bug let you mint unlimited counterfeit zec for ~4 years and bc the pool’s fully private they literally can’t prove it was never abused – the fix is migrating every coin into a fresh pool one by one. that’s the cost of base-layer privacy: when it breaks you can’t audit it, you rebuild the entire room. near just bets simpler – private while the tx runs, settles on a transparent chain where the math stays checkable. confidential w/ hardware based TEE instead of complex math, which is what most real usage wants anyway (payroll, funding wallets w/o getting copy traded, etc). zcash is privacy as a destination chain, near is privacy as a default across the entire crypto ecosystem. imo for most people that’s simpler more useful.

You dumped, we don’t give a fuck, we buy back. Over the last 7 days, NEAR Intents generated ~$1M in fees for NEAR buybacks.

POTUS said which type of people short near

Guess who's back in game..

bro said $NEAR won't touch $3 ever. ever is a long time to be wrong about a chain with 20B volume, chain abstraction, and AI agents shipping weekly

you shorted the only L1 where devs don't have to care which chain they're on. the thesis is wrong before the trade even opens $NEAR

They said it wasn't possible. NEAR didn't listen. Road to $100 loading… 🟩 $NEAR #NEARProtocol

The road to $100 doesn't care about your feelings. $NEAR 🚀

Most chains chase hype. NEAR quietly built: → $20B Crosschain Intents → Confidential Payments → Chain Abstraction → AI Infrastructure (IronClaw) While everyone called it dead. This isn't a comeback story. It's a "we never stopped building" story. $NEAR 🚀

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.

Mando shares the story of how he was struck by the product evolution of Near and got so bullish he messaged @ilblackdragon saying he bought a big bag. "I was at Miami with @CryptoMichNL. He told me about Near. I looked into it and was like, this thing is the truth." "Then I used @near_intents." "Swap any coin to any chain, privately, fast, low fees. One of the best products in crypto since Hyperliquid."
