NEWS: Larry Page and Peter Thiel are making moves to leave California by the end of the year to avoid a possible billionaires tax that could hit them where it hurts. With @RMac18 + @hknightsf. nytimes.com/2025/12/26/tec…





Thank you @LindseyGrahamSC for fully funding President Trump’s request for immigration and border security. This legislation will provide our heroic ICE and BP agents with the tools, capabilities and resources they need to keep America safe, sovereign and free!





DAY 11 OF INTERACTING WITH PROJECTS BUILDING ON @nearprotocol... Today I interacted with @meta_pool, they're a multi chain liquid staking protocol with really nice yield.. I think what I like most about their staking feature is that it isn't time based, so there's no lock up period if you want to immediately unstake Back to the interaction... • So first off, I choose near..( 8.3% apy), saw the minimum stake was 1 $near, so I swapped some other assets on @hotdao_.. •I Successfully staked $near, then after some time came back to unstake to verify if there's no actual lock up period, and there wasn't.🫡 Pretty straightforward and easy to navigate UI, would rate my experience a 10/10 Have a nice weekend frens

ICYMI, @NEARProtocol just launched 600ms blocktime and 1.2s finality. Some use cases unlocked by lightning-fast finality: –High-frequency DeFi loops: delta-neutral rebalancing, cross-CEX/DEX arbitrage, oracle-free perps. Every leg can be closed and collateral recycled 5x per minute on NEAR (vs. maybe once on Solana). Smaller latency means tighter spreads for strategies that require super-fast turnover. –AI agent-to-agent settlements: agents can trigger on-chain actions and receive feedback or confirmation almost instantly. NEAR is truly the blockchain for AI, allowing agents to transact quickly and autonomously across any chain with NEAR Intents and fast finality. –Credit-card-like checkout on-chain: NEAR is now on par with Visa/MC terminals, so you could charge on-chain directly with no intermediaries and get a final confirmation at the moment of purchase. –Also works for pay-as-you-go content, API metering, bandwidth, EV-charging, sensor data feeds: a contract can stream funds every block and cut flow when payment stops, no need for escrow or side channels. Blink and it’s final: NEAR’s speed lets you use a blockchain for use cases that didn’t seem possible before. Just build here.

Liquid staking for Bitcoin built with NEAR chain signatures. @uhler_ cofounder of @_atlasprotocol • Get a liquid staking token on any chain (NEAR, Solana, EVM, even L2s) • Never wrapped • Smart contracts + MPC secure native BTC Build on NEAR = access to every chain
