OK guys, someone want to explain the $NEAR pump? Did I miss something?

@NEARProtocol @ilblackdragon NEAR’s infrastructure stack feels underrated right now. I’d love to go deeper into chain abstraction, AI-native tooling, and how NEAR is scaling for consumer apps without sacrificing UX. Also curious about the long-term vision for interoperability and developer onboarding.

NEAR has been building toward this moment for nearly 10 years, beginning with @ilblackdragon's pioneering research on the Transformer architecture, which underpins today's frontier AI models. In the agent economy, infrastructure decides everything, which is why it will also capture a lot of value. Agents will use the infrastructure that: -Scales -Unifies the most liquidity -Keeps operations confidential NEAR supports 1M+ TPS, routes liquidity across 35+ chains, and keeps both execution and inference confidential. NEAR has been architected from day one to be the infrastructure the agent economy requires. Tell us where you want to go deeper on NEAR infrastructure. We'll point you to the right resources.

I'm not directly involved with near unlike zec & sol, but I've been consistent that it's obviously underrated given what it can do for a while so it's satisfying to see a vibe shift around it if they nail their gtm, decrease distractions, and increase focus, this could be fun

INSIGHT: $NEAR is the top trending coin in the past 3 hours, up 27.5% to $2.25.

spent hours on YouTube for fitness plans. last week I typed my stats into @IronClawAI and got a full 12-week plan in 7ms using 4 tools. then realized I just shared personal health data with an AI. looked it up. hardwarelevel TEE. even their servers can't read it. that's different

Why is IronClaw a game-changer for AI agents? It’s built on Rust and treats the LLM as zero-trust: 🔒 Secrets stay encrypted in a vault (LLM never sees them) 📦 Tools run in isolated Wasm sandboxes 🛡️ TEE deployment ensures privacy at the hardware level #NEARLegion #NEAR #Web3AI

slept on: IronClaw on NEAR encrypted vault runtime → your AI calls stay private no centralized snooping on your prompts NEAR's speed + IronClaw's privacy = actual web3 AI infra this is the stack that wins when everyone realizes ChatGPT sells your data 👀

Crypto's best engineering team strikes again. Dynamic resharding ships in network upgrade 2.13. Shards split automatically when state size crosses a threshold, validated by state witnesses, no validator vote required. The chain adds capacity on demand, the same way Google spins up servers behind a load balancer. This is what 7 years of betting on sharding looks like. NEAR mainnet launched sharded in 2020 with one shard. Today it runs nine, all under active load. Manual resharding took weeks of validator coordination per split - which is why most chains that started "sharding will save us" gave up. NEAR didn't. Each upgrade reduced the human coordination cost until it hit zero. The technical piece that matters: state witnesses validate the split deterministically, so there's no consensus round for the split itself. The protocol just sees the new shard configuration and runs. That's the keystone that makes "70 shards" achievable in months rather than years. Other chains have sharding designs on paper. What NEAR has: - 6 years of state-sharded mainnet under production load - Sharded smart contracts shipped via NEP-616 - First verified 1M TPS benchmark on a public chain - Dynamic resharding tying it all together The understated part: same upgrade ships a post-quantum-safe signing scheme. Two genuinely hard problems addressed in one release, with timelines. If billions of AI agents are going to transact on chain, the chain has to add capacity without a governance fight at the moment demand spikes. NEAR built that. Other chains have been debating which layer to scale at since 2020 and counting. NEAR didn’t just talk about it. They built it.

Tried @IronClawAI few days ago — typed my age, weight, height and got a full 12-week fitness plan in 7ms using 4 tools. Macros, meals, workout split. All of it. Runs on @NEARProtocol TEE so my data stays private. Different from the usual AI hype 🔒 $NEAR

ngl i actually think NEAR has the most upside here

You can now access anonymized frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google through the @near_ai Cloud API! Providers can see prompts but not any info about who sent it. Think of it like a AI inference mixer. Full model list here: cloud.near.ai/models

~$3,000,000 inflows into the Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP for European investors so far this week. ~$36,000,000 AUM. The @NEARProtocol has been executing. Love to see it. [Information & disclosures: bitwiseinvestments.eu/products/bitwi…]

for decades, hedge funds at goldman have done something onchain traders have never been able to do: split one strategy across multiple unlinked books, each invisible to the rest of the market, all settling back into one private umbrella. near's stack just made it possible onchain. for the first time. the real capability isn't 'privacy' in the simple sense. it's decoupled positions — multiple unlinked trading identities, each operationally independent, all controlled from one root. what that looks like: — 5 separate hyperliquid wallets holding parts of your book. whale-watchers see five small positions. you have one big strategy. liquidation hunters have no single target. — multiple polymarket wallets across categories. controversial bets never touch your main identity. — 10 accumulation wallets buying the same token in pieces. the chart shows organic flow, not a sweep. — a blow-up wallet for degen testing. your reputation stays untouched. — hedge both sides of a market on wallets that look independent. how: 1. chain signatures derives a fresh address on any of 35+ chains via MPC. externally just an address. 2. fund it from your confidential balance via private intents. funds appear from the intents bridge — same source every confidential user funds from. 3. use each address in its own app, normally. 4. withdraw privately. spawn another. repeat. the killer property: apps don't have to integrate anything. hyperliquid stays hyperliquid. polymarket stays polymarket. near puts a private wallet layer in front of every existing protocol on every chain. one root identity. infinite specialized personas. one private place they all settle back into. intents fees buy back $NEAR — over 2.1M NEAR in fees in the last 30 days alone. and this is one application of the stack. cross-chain abstraction, AI agents, tokenized RWAs are others. crypto finally has a prime broker.

@IvanPlume @NEARFoundation @near_intents every chain has dead projects bro. you're not wrong about hotdao but that's the team not near. intents actually works tho, tried it myself

Part.1 Reasons not to invest in $NEAR 1.@NEARFoundation shady transaction ongoing and been like that for some many years 2. NOT TRANSPARENT 3. NO HYPE BEHIND literally all they rely on some ironclaw shit and @near_intents 4. DEAD PROJECTS just look at the old projects…

@NEARLegion @IronClawAI @near_ai > Local data, no telemetry, credentials never touch the model. IronClaw actually built privacy in and not bolted on. First AI agent I'd hand real work to without second-guessing it.

MPC Vaults are live on OutLayer. Every embedded-wallet provider (Privy, Magic, Dynamic, Web3Auth) controls the key infrastructure. You bring the users. Try to leave and you find the trap: per-user export, most users never move, you forfeit the base. The lock-in is the whole moat. We wanted to ship this without the moat. Here's how MPC Vaults work: you set up a tiny contract on your own NEAR account. That contract anchors every wallet OutLayer generates for your users. The actual keys live inside a secure enclave, get derived only when needed, and never persist anywhere - not even with us. The master they all flow from is tied to your contract, not ours. You own the anchor. We just do the work. The exit is the point You can stop using OutLayer at any time. Run the same derivation in your own TEE (we ship the exit code). Query NEAR MPC from your vault, get the exact same 32-byte master, regenerate every wallet, every key, every secret. None of your users notice anything. We can't lock you in. The master was never ours to hold. Why it has to be NEAR This only works because NEAR ships a production MPC network anyone can query. No other L1 has it. You can't replicate this with ETH MPC research papers or threshold ECDSA experiments. You need a live network deciding "yes, this contract can request this master." NEAR has it shipping today. What you actually build - Mint NEAR, EVM, Solana, and Bitcoin addresses for users from a single OAuth login. Custodial or non-custodial, your call - Gasless transactions via NEAR Intents. Users never touch a gas token on any chain - Wallets for AI agents and sub-agents, each with its own derived key per scope - Encrypted secrets (API keys, env vars) decryptable only inside the TEE - On-demand signatures, the key lives in the enclave for one call and dies there Same UX as Privy. Self-custody underneath. No vendor moat. Building AI agent infra or anything that mints wallets at scale? DM us. We integrate hands-on with the first teams. Docs in the reply.

fixed the typo for you NEAR is the only asset that lets you go long crypto, AI agents, stablecoin rails, and privacy all at the same time 🧵
