NEAR NFT News Club (20K)

Open📭 to content writing & marketing roles. Blogs, threads, research-based content, narratives that actually explain value. Writing is how I entered crypto in 2021—and I’m looking to build again. If you’re building and need clarity + consistency, my DMs are open. Samples ⬇️

Last month on near.com: 209M total activity. 87M of it confidential. The default is shifting.

people remember $NEAR's founder Illia Polosukhin co-authored "attention is all you need." very few know about the second co-founder. Alex Skidanov was an early engineer at MemSQL - now SingleStore, a multi-billion dollar database infrastructure company - and contributed to OpenAI. so NEAR's team is: one person who co-invented the architecture behind modern AI, and one person who built distributed database infrastructure used by enterprises worldwide. both have been heads-down on the same chain since 2018. then look at the technical resumes of the projects in the "AI x crypto" sector that are hyped higher. market's bad at this one.

NEAR is at the convergence of three major market forces: the demand for universal liquidity, confidential execution, and private inference 🧵

Meta just launched TEE-powered Incognito Mode for their AI and this will become table stakes for all other labs. The hard part is not just running confidential hardware - it's managing attestations, keys, infrastructure, verification, and the developer experience end to end. @near_ai has been doing this for the last year and we're much further ahead than everyone else. We're just missing the distribution channels and that is coming!

Bermuda is setting a standard for governments’ use of AI for handling citizen data with @near_ai. When a public servant submits their personal data to AI, even the infrastructure provider shouldn't be able to see it. AI systems that handle sensitive information should support confidentiality by design.

Quantum computing is a threat to every blockchain protocol. NEAR's architecture already makes accounts and assets more quantum-secure than most chains. The team is now adding post-quantum cryptography to secure NEAR and the wider Intents ecosystem. Here's what's underway 🧵

Legit coins (non majors) that you can consider buying with longer hold durations: $HYPE $ZEC $NEAR I think everything else is pretty much a trade

A lot of people are jumping on the hype bandwagon of AI. However, buying Anthropic, OpenAI, or any of those companies isn't yielding any alpha anymore. It's a crowded, over-hyped trade and then, the alpha is far away and the risks are enormous. In $TAO, $NEAR, compute protocols and multiple other crypto's that are connected with AI. That's where the alpha is.

Moving assets cross-chain should be one click and done. NEAR Intents abstracts away all the cross-chain complexity under the hood. You specify the tokens you have and the tokens you want. A network of solvers fulfills your intent. No manual gas juggling or bridge management.

@TommiPedruzzi AI

Starting a YouTube channel is the slowest way to make your first dollar online. Instead, I use Amazon’s pre-built audience. And it’s paying me $50,000 per month for it. Oh, and if you want my complete strategy broken down, with AI prompts, workflow and systems... Like this post, follow me and comment “AI”. I’ll DM it to you. So I figured people on Amazon are searching daily queries about their problems. And they buy products that solve those problems. The product can be anything: • Physical products • Digital courses • Software tools But the most bought solution to their problems comes in the form of books. Amazon has 310 million members ready to buy. They aren’t watching for entertainment. They aren’t killing time. They are searching for answers. “How to lose weight.” “How to fix my marriage.” “How to invest as a beginner.” And they’ll pay $15 to $35 for the right book instantly. That’s what I do. I create short books around those problems. 70 to 150 pages that speak directly to their problem. I use ChatGPT to outline chapters, Claude to write it, Ideogram AI to design covers that get picked on Amazon over every competing book. I’ve been doing this for 6+ years and perfected a system that now takes only 1 hour a day. Sell 1 book/day at $9.99 = $300/month Sell 3 book/day at $9.99 = $900/month Sell 5 book/day at $9.99 = $1,500/month And that’s ONE book… before ads. When you add more books to your portfolio and scale with Amazon ads… those numbers multiply fast. And guess what? You made that without following the most popular advice on the internet: “Start a YouTube channel.” • You don’t need to film content • You don’t need to edit videos • You don’t need to wait for views or subscribers Amazon handles everything. You just publish a book. And collect royalties from 310 million buyers who already trust the platform. Most people spend years trying to grow on YouTube before making their first dollar. In 2026, there’s absolutely no reason to do that. Smart publishers attach themselves to the biggest marketplace on earth on day one. That’s the difference between chasing attention. And getting paid from day one. If you want my entire system to: • Find topics people already pay for • AI prompts to write the book in just 1 hour • Cover design that gets picked over competitors Follow me, like this post and comment “AI”. I’ll DM you my entire system for free. You need to do all 3 to receive the DM.

NEAR is the unified commerce layer for your assets and your agents. @near_intents 🤝 @IronClawAI NEAR is now.

I really think that agent harness is the final Operating System so we are working on evolving IronClaw design toward that. It's critical that this future Operating System is User-Owned: private, aligned with the user's success and generic to allow to do anything.
