@AlexAuroraDev Going dark

You can see what’s happening near you. But you can’t see what’s happening far away. Meet you on the other side.

Going Dark !!

@AltcoinDaily NEAR for me main difference is how it actually feels to use… accounts, tx flow, even moving between apps is just smoother. not perfect but way less friction compared to most chains I’ve tried.

Let's settle this...

@uttam_singhk yeah feels like AA is becoming default now @NEARProtocol had this kind of account model from the start, not something added later. probably why UX things like intents feel more natural there instead of being forced on top of EVM.

I think by end of 2026 or early 2027 every major chain will have native account abstraction. & all new chains will have to ship native AA or they will be left behind

@Nick_Researcher agree with this from using NEAR intents a bit, the difference is pretty noticeable… you just choose the outcome and it handles the routing behind. It way closer to what normal users would actually use compared to manual bridging and gas juggling

➥ The chain abstraction landscape has matured significantly Most people still think multi-chain is a feature, but I’m starting to see it as crypto’s biggest UX failure Right now we have dozens of L1s, L2s, appchains… but for users it still means: - switching networks & holding multiple gas tokens - bridging assets manually & dealing with failed or delayed txs And I think the market finally realized this Chain abstraction is no longer just a narrative, it’s becoming the default expectation So over years users don’t want to know what chain they’re on, they just want the result Instead of clicking through steps, users now express intents like “Earn yield here” And the system handles everything behind the scenes from routing liquidity, executing cross-chain, optimizing cost I believe this trend is inevitable from manual interaction → to outcome-based execution I’ve been looking deeper into the players pushing this, and the stack is forming fast: > @RiverdotInc| $RIVER - frequently called the 2026 Chain Abstraction Leader - strong momentum, focusing on unifying fragmented liquidity and UX > @NEARProtocol | $NEAR - strong emphasis onchain abstraction combined with AI agents - confidential intents enable secure, private cross-chain DeFi without exposing users to chain details > @ParticleNtwrk - continues building modular/multi-layer frameworks for account unification, orchestration, and cross-chain UX Others Frequently Mentioned: - @LayerZero_Core | $ZRO - cross-chain messaging - @wormhole | $W - asset and data transfer - @axelar | $AXL - programmable cross-chain communication - @chainlink | $LINK - via CCIP for interoperability. - @ZetaChain | $ZETA, @routerprotocol | $ROUTE, @SynapseProtocol | $SYN - Emerging/newer ones like @useTria | $TRIA for abstracted wallets/routing/identity Different approaches, but same direction: They hide the chain, keep the outcome The timing is convincing: - Stablecoins just crossed $300B+ - Institutions are getting more involved - AI agents are starting to execute onchain actions None of this works at scale if users still deal with which chain am I on? So I think we’re in a weird phase right now: 2026 = awkward transition 2028 = users won’t even know what a chain is Chain abstraction isn’t competing with L1s/L2s, it sits above them & whoever owns that layer controls the UX

@DamiDefi NEAR is already generating ~$17M+ in fees just from Intents on ~$10B+ volume, and that doesn’t even show up properly in most dashboards yet. plus onchain fees are clearly ramping (8M+ NEAR YTD). people still valuing it like a basic L1 while the revenue model already shifted

Top 10 AI Coins by Q1 2026 Revenue. Who's actually generating real money? $TAO: $43.2M $VIRTUAL: $2.87M $LINK: $2.1M $RENDER: $1.2M $IO: $0.9M $AKT: $0.74M $FET: $0.6M $PHA: $0.4M $ICP: $0.3M $NEAR: $0.15M This is the most important chart in AI crypto right now. Price follows revenue. Always has. Always will. Are you holding the right ones?

@tbpn That's what @0xmercle is building

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says that while there are legit types of AI content on the platform, the company is considering Face ID and other passkey verification methods — among other options — to ensure there's a human behind each prompt while allowing users to stay anonymous:

@DeRonin_ Calling NEAR “dead” is just lazy tbh NEAR Intents alone has done billions in volume and is making cross-chain actually usable. Plus they’re pushing hard on AI infra and agent based txs. Market slow ≠ project dead

Dead projects: Monad Berachain Aptos ZkSync Story Protocol Ethena Near Mantle Sonic Celestia Injective Rootstock Movement Celestia Blast Polygon zkEVM Metis Sandbox Linea Eclipse Wormhole Polkadot Tezos Aztec Network Rialo Neon Not all of these projects are straight dead, many of them are going through a hard phase of no revenue or users outflow Of course, some of them still have a chance and will definitely come back to life, teams of many of them are working on that But for now, the fact remains, low revenue generation + users outflow from web3 overall creates hard times for them

@rhea_finance @NEARProtocol good to see TP/SL finally live on Rhea next upgrade I’d like is a bit more control on position sizing and execution, sometimes you don’t want to go full size in one click. would make it more flexible for actual trading.

@Nick_Researcher interesting way to map the stack tbh NEAR fits more in the coordination layer here. with intents + things like IronClaw, agents can actually execute actions across chains while keeping data secure. that’s kinda important if agents are gonna handle real value, not just run models

➥ AI 5-layer cake from NVIDIA and how it applies to crypto First thing first, AI is becoming the largest infra buildout in history > Claude: backed by Amazon/Google + major VCs → $380B val → ~19M active users & $14B annualized rev > Perplexity: backed by IVP/SoftBank/Jeff Bezos/Nvidia → $20B val → ~45M MAU & 780M+ monthly queries > Gemini: fully backed by Google/Alphabet → 750M+ monthly active users > ChatGPT: backed by Microsoft/SoftBank/Nvidia/Amazon → $730B+ pre-money val → 900M weekly active users & 50M+ paying subscribers And the numbers already hint at it: • Hyperscalers are expected to spend $300B+ on AI infra in 2026 • GPU clusters now run tens of thousands of chips per facility • Energy demand from AI data centers is projected to double within a decade So basically, the @nvidia AI 5-Layer Cake is framing AI as a complete industrial infra stack When I mapped this model to crypto, something interesting appeared Crypto is rebuilding the same stack, but in a decentralized way [1] APPLICATIONS - economic value, agents, usable dApps Decentralized AI agents, onchain inference, AI-enhanced Web3 UX, autonomous agent economies - @virtuals_io | $VIRTUAL - Agents become economic participants onchain - @NEARProtocol | $NEAR - AI-powered usability layer + Makes blockchain abstraction easy - @dfinity | $ICP - Fully onchain AI execution & verifiable apps + Enables transparent AI dApps without off-chain servers [2] MODELS - training/inference markets Open, incentivized networks where anyone trains/competes models and earns for useful intelligence - @opentensor | $TAO - #1 decentralized machine-learning network + Models compete, collaborate, and get rewarded via proof-of-utility [3] INFRA - orchestration, compute clouds DePIN marketplaces for decentralized GPU clusters, storage, and orchestration - @rendernetwork | $RENDER - Decentralized GPU compute marketplace powering AI workloads - NEAR & ICP also contribute heavy infra as above [4] CHIPS - hardware acceleration layer Crypto has no protocol that manufactures chips, still NVIDIA/AMD silicon Instead DePIN provides decentralized marketplaces and aggregation for GPU chips exactly like the blog describes - RENDER again leads here - routes workloads directly to idle GPUs worldwide - @ionet as well as Aethir aggregates GPUs into clusters for ML, turning idle hardware into on-demand AI compute [5] ENERGY This is the least tokenized layer in DeAI, energy is physical Crypto parallels exist in PoW/PoS economics where energy = security and DePIN node incentives Node operators in Bittensor, Render, Grass, etc., cover their own energy costs and get paid in tokens, turning electricity into economic incentives Broader energy DePIN exists but sits outside pure AI crypto rankings The stack still relies on global grids, with crypto making usage more efficient via incentives and ZK proofs to reduce redundant compute

@zacodil This is crazy.. agents can now use the Suno models to generate songs and publish them onchain then react to listener feedback 🤯 honestly not sure we’ve seen an AI agent run the whole loop like this before… create, publish, earn and learn all on its own. pretty wild experiment

@CryptoMichNL $2 make sense but a lot of bullish stuff happening around NEAR lately… intents already processed $14B+ cross chain volume with ~19M swaps and integrations like Brave wallet bringing it to more users. Soon $Hot tge maybe, market still catching up to that narrative tbh

$NEAR looks great for a breakout upwards here to $2.

@eyezenhour nice comparison honestly from my own onchain experience NEAR always felt easier to actually use. things like wallets, accounts and intents make moving between chains way less painful. chain is more focused on real usability than just raw TPS numbers

@rhea_finance @TrezuApp trezu + rhea actually makes a lot of sense together multisig treasuries usually just sit idle, but plugging them into rhea lets those funds actually work instead of just waiting in the wallet. pretty solid combo for DAOs and teams.

DAO Fund Company Treasury Institution Deals Every multisig needs business on Rhea with @TrezuApp Your Treasury should earn YIELD🌒

@NEARLegion @intea_rs @slimedrgn Happy Birthday @intea_rs

Join us for NEAR Legion Open Mic #3 to celebrate the 2 year anniversary for @intea_rs with @slimedrgn! x.com/i/spaces/1XGyg…

@NearKatToken near season or maybe near intents season starting 👀 been farming HOT for a while now, if this airdrop really brings that kind of attention like Notcoin did for TON, could bring a lot of new users into NEAR wallets and apps, ecosystem about to get busy 🔥

A ‘Notcoin’ style airdrop which kicked off TON Season & brought tens of millions in liquidity is about to happen on NEAR Protocol with the launch of $HOT. Are you positioned, anon? $NEAR

@deeberiroz man this is brutal big swaps on public mempools always get destroyed by MEV sooner or later. this is why @near_intents based execution makes more sense imo… let solvers compete for the best fill instead of exposing the trade to the whole mempool..

Poor fellow swapped $50m -> $35k on eth mainnet 😭😭😭 etherscan.io/tx/0x9fa9feab3…

@XRJ37 @nearmerch @NEARLegion Thanks bro ❤️

@Ombaba77 @nearmerch @NEARLegion Congrats bro for being 1 st You design is really impressive

Thanks to the @nearmerch team and the whole NEAR community. Really proud to bring the @NEARLegion energy into this design...
