NEAR Protocol In-Depth Analysis and Investment Logic I have recently been conducting an in-depth study of NEAR Protocol and found that this project is indeed worth paying close attention to 🔥 @NEARProtocol From multiple dimensions, NEAR is experiencing a critical turning point, especially in its layout in the AI sector. 1. NEAR's Core Advantages and Technical Layout First, let’s discuss why I am optimistic about NEAR: Positive Signals on the Data Level 📊 Currently, the number of active addresses on NEAR is between 300,000 and 500,000, with a daily transaction volume of 5-6 million. While this base is not particularly large, the growth potential is enormous. Especially under the push of the AI narrative, it is expected that the number of active addresses could reach 3-5 million, with daily transactions breaking through 30-50 million. Positioning as an AI Native Blockchain 🤖 NEAR has clearly positioned itself as an "artificial intelligence blockchain," which is not just simple concept hype. They have launched the Assistant and plan to build the world's largest open-source AI model—a model with 14 trillion parameters, which is 3.5 times larger than Meta's Llama model. The depth and breadth of this technical layout, under the current trend of AI + Crypto integration, has a clear first-mover advantage. Continuous Technical Upgrades ⚡ NEAR has just completed an important network upgrade, including the sharding optimization of Nightshade 2.0, which has increased transaction throughput to about 100,000 TPS. More importantly, they are developing ZK-centric sharding, utilizing zero-knowledge proofs to verify state transitions across different shards. These technical improvements are not just for the sake of technology, but to support the large-scale deployment of AI applications. Ecosystem Projects Worth Attention 💰 Within the NEAR ecosystem, several AI projects are particularly noteworthy: Intellex, ConsumerFi, FractionAI, Pai3Ai. These projects represent different directions of AI applications, and one of them is likely to emerge as a leading project. 2. Market Timing and Investment Logic Market Timing Judgment 🔥 From the perspective of K-line analysis, NEAR has completed a long bottoming process. The current price around $2 has gained strong support, and technically, it has the foundation for a rebound. More importantly, the entire AI narrative is still in its early stages. With the continuous fermentation of the AI Agent concept and NEAR's deep layout in this sector, it is likely to welcome a wave of valuation reconstruction. My Judgment Logic: Correct Sector Choice: AI + Crypto is the main narrative direction for the next 2-3 years, and NEAR's positioning is precise. Strong Technical Strength: It is not just riding the hype, but has actual technical products and a roadmap. Ecosystem is Taking Shape: Several AI projects are already being built on NEAR, forming a certain network effect. Valuation is Relatively Reasonable: Compared to other AI concept projects, NEAR's valuation still has significant upside potential. Of course, investment carries risks. But from a long-term perspective, NEAR's layout in the AI native blockchain sector is indeed worth paying close attention to. Especially for those investors who are optimistic about the deep integration of AI and blockchain, NEAR may be a good target 💎

They really tell you about empty houses. @IQAICOM It's completely empty. There's really no one around.... I alone have an 11.3% Mashé based on 7 days. There are 2 accounts based on 7 days. Hahaha Among Koreans, @4Years1219 is the leader. However, I became the leader on the leaderboard after writing 2 posts. By the way, there are no separate rewards here. It's a newspaper room, how about a little IQ reward? Hahaha I have a feeling that if there's a little, I might be able to be 1st based on 3 months.... Hahaha If you're aiming to climb the leaderboard, you should look at IQ. But this team is actually building an AI-based Wiki and consistently doing well in product building! You need to keep an eye on them, and they are also collaborating with @NEARProtocol on AI Agent-related projects. The fact that a leaderboard without rewards is being operated with marketing costs means that there might be good things happening someday? Hehehe For those who really want to see their name on the leaderboard, IQ is the best. There are only 7 people based on 3 months. However, since the threshold adjustment is not done at all (the newspaper room is also classified as wider ㅠㅠ), only do it if you can break through the high threshold.

Happy for no more than 24 hours, yesterday we were saying the rankings were back, and today they are gone again. @NEARProtocol and @campnetworkxyz are back at the kids' table, and @anoma doesn't even have the creators or the kids' table anymore. Officially, @KaitoAI @Punk9277 @MaraCakeHotSale, do you not like me? What is it that you don't like about me? Can't I change? What's going on, this is so repetitive. It's really shaking my confidence. The platform ecosystem, the key is that @NEARProtocol is going to have a monthly snapshot tomorrow or the day after... I've been building for over two months now. This can't be how it works....

Woke up early, checked three project rankings, two came back, but the one that didn't is @anoma. What's going on? It was still there yesterday, does it not like me today? Should I take a nap again? But I still want to keep building @anoma. The official team @KaitoAI @Punk9277 @MaraCakeHotSale responded quickly, which is great! Thumbs up for my @anoma. What's going on? I've been building this project for over two months now. My dear official team, if you don't like me, I can change. Really... 😂 Today @anoma's testnet opened 40 times, but I didn't get a single 50,000. I might as well gamble on long and short, but I lost too many points before. I regret it; I should have just played it safe and developed. What a pity, now my points are still outside the top 10,000. Sigh. Gotta keep working hard. Today, let's continue discussing Chapter 2 of the @anoma white paper, "Coordination" logic framework diagram. In summary: Top-level theme: Coordination, divided into 5 main parts: 1. The essence of coordination (information transmission, commitment binding, reciprocity, individual continuity) 2. Coordination mechanisms (physical media, semantic embedding, commitment and trust) 3. Context dependence (form adaptation, dynamics, interdependence reflection, control ownership) 4. Reputation and balance (reputation systems, centralization issues, privacy and transparency) 5. Stable states (system transformation → network effects / transition mechanisms) Breaking down "coordination" into structured logical relationships includes constraints and reciprocity at the micro-individual level, as well as reputation mechanisms, institutional changes, and dynamic adaptation at the macro-system level. Coordination is the "continuity of individuality" formed by individuals through information transmission and commitment binding at different levels; Its mechanisms must match the environment, reflect reciprocity, and possess dynamics and self-control; Reputation, privacy, and centralization directly affect its efficiency and fairness; coordination mechanisms have stickiness due to network effects, and system transformation must consider both transition and protection. Finally, can you give me a few more 50,000 points? I want them. Hahaha. Keep it up.
