Near Protocol (NEAR)

$NEAR regained the blue angle as support. Things look like they are about to get a lot more bullish https://t.co/BacIoZq2Z7

Everyone's watching the LayerZero fallout narrative. Kelp's migration to CCIP. Stargate V2 has seen fees drop by nearly 50% over the last 30 days. The bridge security discourse has completely consumed the conversation about who wins in the long term across chains. But while everyone's watching this story play out, the actual fee leader in bridging right now isn't Stargate, Across, Wormhole, and it's not LayerZero V2. It's @near_intents. A quick comparison: - $2.99M in bridge fees over the last 30 days - LayerZero generated $154K over the same window. Stargate V2 generated $107K. Intents is doing more in fees than both of those combined, 19x more actually. I think $NEAR hasn't priced in any of this when you consider the supply-diminishing mechanisms. Fee switch + a halved inflation rate + burn on base-layer gas fees Data: @tokenterminal

near:native is doing it again! Climbing market cap ranks in a lonely price rally + NEAR (#39) currently has a $2.11B mcap @ $1.63/Ⓝ + has just passed ONDO (#40) @ $1.90B + nearly passing Trump's WLFI (#38) @ $2.17B Nature is healing I've said it before: NEAR (easily) belongs to the top 15-10 by mcap at its current state NEAR is easily one of the most asymmetrical bets in crypto right now: proven pmf, improved tokenomics -- still mispriced when benchmarked against other projects, imho

🔎 DON'T TRUST, VERIFY! I'm doubling-down on that, now researching NEAR (/nearcore & /near-sdk-rs) in depth Learning not from third-party documentation and blog posts, but by auditing and understanding its source code myself (finally!) Open-source code is a fantastic verification tool, but most people don't use it at its full capacity -- they rather trust, instead I get it... Verifying demands knowledge and time However, current advanced AI models and agents can now help with that and can be a fantastic learning tool if you know how to use them to teach instead of simple blind execution This is what I'm doing: not trusting, verifying Using AI to teach me how to properly research and audit @NEARProtocol's source code myself -- from scratch I will share some insights during this journey and might be able to post some nice educative, easily explained articles on NEAR, building my own, independent documentation of the protocol and its smart contract stack The goal is to know exactly, line by line, what I'

$NEAR Intents is the most interesting infrastructure bet in crypto right now that isn't already priced like a winner
