There are very few L1s that have: - differentiated products with revenue - battle tested and scalable network - genuine revanchist hunger to win - founder market fit - lindy effect Apart from $SOL and $HYPE, $NEAR is probably the only token that checks all boxes Higher

The past week for NEAR has been incredible. Shills from @blknoiz06, @TrustlessState and @CryptoHayes have focused alot of attention on the chain. @near_ai have created 'Ironclaw', a privacy version of Openclaw. Now is the time for NEAR.com to attract builders to create AI agents on ironclaw.com. Explore using the extra income generated thru intents to create a fund that could be used to stimulate the creation of AI agents using Ironclaw. So far what I see is the potential to create an AI agents that are the same as Openclaw but with privacy and potential for payments using NEAR's fast, cheap and scalable technology. With the advancement of AI, the ease at creating and optimising an Ironclaw agent has been lowered. Lets tell the world then about the potential that there is

Pretty solid NEAR thesis. @nikshepsvn is on the money, recommend following: x.com/i/status/2051658516142…

We are proud to announce that @potlock_ now supports Dogecoin (DOGE) donations via @near_intents! 🚀 Now you can support global builders and public goods using native $DOGE. Full details here:

Not only are we committing to maintaining POTLOCK, we are building a net-new product and doubling down on chain-abstracted, private payments by enabling any asset to be used for private, local payments with @replydotcash. The future is open money, funding, and payments.

With the recent Rhea exploit, public goods projects shutting down, and overall crypto FUD, we want to be clear: we have no plans to shut down in 2026, and actually the opposite. 🧵

NEAR Intents is now integrated into Oisy Wallet, built by @dfinity. @oisy users can now perform intents-based cross-chain swaps directly within the wallet, enabling access to native tokens across Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum.

Gm, this seems like a good day to remind everyone that NEAR is the unified commerce layer for assets AND agents.

We are proud to announce that we have integrated Sui (SUI) donations on campaigns via @near_intents. This means you can donate with SUI directly to your favourite causes on POTLOCK or raise funds for your own ideas with SUI. Full announcement: linkedin.com/posts/potlock_p… Thread👇

Happy 5 years of @NEARProtocol MainNet! I'm proud of our community and the vision we're building together. In the last year in particular we've seen some amazing successes: launching NEAR Intents and growing to $2B in volume. Expanding to 9 shards and maintaining 100% uptime. And going full circle with NEAR AI, returning to our roots to build AI that protects users' privacy, agency, & ownership. Thank you to every contributor in our ecosystem for believing and investing your time & energy in NEAR. We have a lot of work ahead of us to ensure that the future internet belongs to everyone, not a few corporations. Let's lock in!
