NEAR Protocol
@NEARProtocol
The unified commerce layer for assets and agents.

- SPICE is coming to NEAR. This major protocol upgrade is currently in development and will separate consensus from execution, unlocking 200ms blocks. This is the speed necessary to power what comes next: agents transacting at machine speed on the open rails of NEAR Intents 🧵
Replying to @NEARProtocolSPICE is the next major step toward Nightshade 3.0, and a first among sharded blockchains. It paves the way for atomic execution across shards: the holy grail of sharding. Atomicity makes complex transactions faster, without the overhead of an async environment.
As AI agents expand beyond just onchain commerce, they need infrastructure that runs at their speed, not human or legacy payment speed. SPICE is core to that foundation. In development now, shipping in the coming months. - GLM-5.2 is now live on NEAR AI. Frontier level open-source performance. Verifiable privacy. Hardware-signed attestation. Code stays protected inside confidential infrastructure instead of becoming training data for someone else’s platform. Try it ↓
- NEAR monthly revenue (NEAR's value capture after integration partner payouts) is climbing. May was the strongest month yet, with all-time revenue now over $4.2 million. NEAR’s capture-rate flywheel is working.

00:00NEAR is building a new alternative, a user-owned stack where users own their data, assets, and power of choice in the agent economy.

NEAR Intents served 53.02% of the monetizable cross-chain market year to date. The calculation excludes native multichain asset transfers, where infrastructure fees are typically negligible.
- ICYMI: NEAR Intents crossed $20 billion in all-time volume this month, more than doubling since the start of the year. Confidential TVL is climbing fast. A look under the hood at how Intents is built to be the money rail for agentic finance ↓All-time volume on NEAR Intents just crossed $20 billion. This milestone is the result of a series of technical breakthroughs that removed some of the biggest constraints in cross-chain execution. A deep dive on Intents' rapid momentum 🧵
00:00 - "Attention Is All You Need" turned 9 this month, an architecture that quietly and steadily rewrote the trajectory of the entire technology industry. Happy Father's Day to everyone building new foundations.

Privacy is freedom. Stop worrying about every transaction on near.com - AI is becoming the primary interface to the internet and all of computing. What's at stake with centralized vs. user-owned AI 🧵
Replying to @NEARProtocolCo-founder @ilblackdragon walks through NEAR's early architectural bets for an agentic world on the latest @therollupco episode. The bets that look obvious now were made years before AI went mainstream.Read the Definitive Guide to NEAR for the full thesis: - Why user-owned AI is the defining battleground of the next decade - How NEAR is building to ensure users own their data, assets, and power of choice
