I just attended seminar by NEAR a few hours ago. it was a bit overwhelming but super interesting at the same time. so yeah it was nice. 🧵This thread contains a summary of what I learned in the NEAR seminar about blockchain technology, Ai, and fraud detection. my key takeaways:

DeFi users in 2026

Lending and looping curse XD

@pieakshat @lifiprotocol @tempo Cool stuff

built OmniLayer, an agentic system that optimises for USDC yield across multiple EVM chains for @lifiprotocol hackathon > uses @tempo wallet's session keys to sign + execute transactions on behalf of users within spending limits they set. > scans ~400 vaults via lifi earn, routes through lifi composer. splits across pendle fixed yield, high apy, and safe base positions. one tx per cycle. > user picks: fully autonomous or approve each deposit via passkeys (you may or may not trust agents). > no interface needed, users interact with OmniLayer through their claude code or codex instance.

@anishbuilds @zach_ftw @lifiprotocol Brilliant !

Me and @zach_ftw shipped SwarmFi for @lifiprotocol hackathon. AI agents using Llama 3.3 70B and LI.FI Earn/Composer for cross-chain yield. Kudos to Zach for the speed and execution. Check the demo below.

@avihu28 Good stuff

the case for safe defi keeps on rising and asking oneself wat even is safe defi and it is perhaps not just good code but the protocol itself managing risks which may seem extravagant and unnecessary to work towards but also will prolly end u if not taken care of gud for insurance and just large piles of cash to underwrite any and all risk treasury innovations seem to have been dead since 2021 iwo

Tokyo is pinging the Hyperliquid API in ~3ms. Amsterdam is sitting at ~221ms. Distance is a tax on your execution. We just deployed a live map of global probes tracking API and direct validator latency to Hyperliquid in real-time: glassno.de/4t7kUhv 🇯🇵 Tokyo: ~15.9ms 🇰🇷 Seoul: ~50.2ms 🇭🇰 Hong Kong: ~66.9ms 🇸🇬 Singapore: ~136.1ms 🇺🇸 Virginia: ~163.5ms 🇳🇱 Amsterdam: ~245.2ms

@speed_gul 2s ish is fine for agentic payments, but for trading? If your strategy has enough alpha to survive a 2 sec ish theoretical delay and the service costs, you would probably make 10x more just hardcoding that logic into a bot na ?? But Yeahh for a hobby project it's cool .

@Aaronvern11 2s ish for one cycle looks dumb for sure, but as a hobby project, haiku does really well

didn't make sense to me 2 months back, but when I see my own bot now with the extremely good tool calling ability models and the yield I made, Games have changed in the last 2 months, no matter how small my own experiment was n0w, agentic trading makes a lot of sense
