This is pretty cool - another crypto-led inference solution
Afaict pricing is the same as OpenRouter (at least for the closed source models) but with added privacy built in

There's no reason to sell NEAR.
It's doing exactly what I thought it would, and I'm very pleased to see the strength in my largest assets in my portfolio.
The technical structure of the charts is phenomenal, and I don't think there's a reason to sell the position shortly.
It's held at a crucial support level, and that's the trigger for continued upward movement.
The first real resistance zones for $NEAR are at $2 and $2.25-$2.50.
Given that my portfolio has a 41% allocation to this protocol, I need to look at those regions for potential trimming of the position to lock in some returns.
There's still a long way to go for the portfolio; however, if this one continues to rally and makes that run towards $2.50, it'll be helpful for the portfolio's value.
The upside is also that it's outperforming versus Bitcoin, which is the best sign for strength in the markets.
For now, I continue to hold this position entirely, as it's clearly trending higher.
OGAudit Web3 Research: @NEARProtocol $NEAR - The L1 Whose Co-Founder Co-Wrote the Transformer Paper?
NEAR has been building scalable, developer friendly infrastructure since 2020 now executing an AI first pivot led by a team with unusually deep AI research credentials:
- Nightshade sharding processes transactions across 9 parallel shards with 600ms blocks and 1.2 second finality while NEAR Intents enables intent based cross chain execution, users describe what they want and the network coordinates the routing across chains automatically. Nightshade 3.0 added privacy sharding running private shards inside TEEs with the https://t.co/xHgPxfmXD1 super app combining feeless cross chain swaps, AI assistance and agent automation in a single interface.
- NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin co-authored “Attention Is All You Need”, the original transformer paper underlying all modern LLMs giving NEAR’s AI narrative uniquely genuine credibility. IronClaw AI assistant runs inside isolated WebAssembly TEEs for verifiably private AI inference with Venice AI integrated for private model queries.
- Grayscale filed for a NEAR Trust ETF, SovereignAI raised $120M to build a NEAR based AI cloud treasury. A zero-day Litecoin MWEB bug exposed $600K in NEAR Intents cross chain transactions, the NEAR team pledged to cover losses, demonstrating both cross chain dependency risk and responsible protocol management.
Is a transformer paper co-founder, Nightshade 3.0 privacy sharding, Grayscale ETF filing and a $120M institutional treasury the AI L1 thesis finally materialising or does 63 average mainnet TPS, a 92% ATH decline and a cross chain exploit exposure three weeks ago confirm that NEAR’s ambition chronically outpaces its realised performance?
