Someone asked me yesterday about the NEAR Protocol ecosystem, so I went through a much broader set of projects currently building there. $NEAR has already had a strong move this year, but I think the next opportunity depends on whether liquidity starts rotating deeper into the ecosystem. I’m currently...

Here's why $NEAR is a no-brainer in 2025 👇 Everybody loves NEAR Protocol and there is a reason for that (or many). Near is well-positioned to be one of the leading blockchain ecosystems this year. Let’s explore the “whys”. TIMESTAMPS Quick Bio – 00:00:15 Inflation Reduction Proposal – 00:00:43 Technically Speaking – 00:02:40 Near Intents – 00:03:37 Chain Signatures and AI – 00:04:39 Decentralization and DeFi – 00:05:59 I have my Near account since March 2023, but it has been inactive for a while, as I was focused on other stuff. However, the recent inflation halving proposal by HOT DAO (HOT Protocol 🔥) and LiNEAR (LiNEAR Protocol) brought my eyes back to the project and I really like what I’m seeing. So, here’s my first point. If this proposal passes, NEAR could lead the way in what appears to be a market trend of improving the tokenomics, as more and more experts realize holders have been overpaying for these networks' security, with a too high supply inflation. Solana tried something similar, but the proposal was rejected. In my opinion, validators voting favorably to that show a commitment to the chain for the long term. On the other hand, voting against it signals a short-term vision focused on milking the emissions as much as possible, at the ecosystem’s expense. The voting currently goes with 28% “YEA” votes, needing 66.76% to pass. Most of the validators who already cast their votes went with the yes. 2pilot, avb, openshards, qbit, sicmundus, fox, and intear are, so far, the only seven who voted “NAY”. This proposal has the vocal support of most influential figures in the Near ecosystem, including the Near Foundation (NEAR Foundation), led by Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈), which makes me believe it will pass and show the power of the halving in getting the market’s attention and presenting a huge investment asymmetry for the native token right now. Is this everything I like about NEAR? Definitely not. This is just what got me looking at it again, just to discover a (very much) thriving ecosystem, full of interesting things happening at the same time. I’ll mention a few, but there is (much) more. Technically speaking, Near is a high-performance blockchain, with really low fees and one of the fastest finalities, with 600ms block time and approximately 1.8s finality. It also has my favorite architecture for internet-scale scalability, using sharding, while keeping a high decentralization standard. As a learning programmer, Near also has one of the best dev experiences (in my limited opinion). The documentation is clear, has a logical journey, presenting from the basic anatomy in details to more complex SDKs and tools. I’m also in love with the near-cli-rs. A command line interface program written in Rust for seamless interaction with the Near blockchain. Allowing wallet creation, chain query, sending transactions, staking, smart contract calls, and more. Near Intents. This was the second thing to get my attention, while studying the project again, and it sets a whole new standard for blockchain interactions, especially cross-chain. Basically, users can declare an intention (for example, swap Ethereum-USDT to Bitcoin) and a network of solvers, running on Near, will find the best path to accomplish this task. We recently saw an impressive 465k-worth swap happening in exactly this example, paying 0.55% of trading fees to thorswap.near and swapkit.near. According to a Dune Dashboard, the protocol accumulates nearly $400 million in volume since its launch not long ago, in November 2024. *obs.: half this volume was achieved in the last month. Massive! Near Intents is possible due to two other very interesting things: (i) Chain abstraction, and (ii) a solid AI infrastructure. Chain abstraction (via Chain Signatures) is a powerful interoperability feature, allowing Near to friendly connect different blockchains as if they were part of a single network. Users and devs benefit from wallet, address, fees, and cross-chain bridges abstractions - not even noticing they are interacting with multiple chains. One wallet that powers everything. Powered by Near. On AI, Near is just built differently. Not for the hype, but for the solution. The team has been looking for AI solutions much before the ChatGPT fever. Actually, they started as an AI company, pivoting to blockchain later. So, being one of the most promising networks for the growing AI economy was just the natural path to follow. There is an extensive and super complete research piece on that topic, recently published by Reflexivity Research (Reflexivity Research) on July 1st. It presents Near as an AI-optimized blockchain, covering AITP, Shade Agents, x402, Near Intents, and more. Definitely worth the reading. Wrapping up this content with one more aspect that really matters to me is how Near remains truthful to decentralization, data ownership, censorship-resistance and open-source primitives that have been increasingly abandoned by other key players. A simple example of that is how the Near Foundation decided to deprecate its public APIs, encouraging the surge of a more decentralized and competitive market of SaaS projects, with a highlight to Lava Network, that recently appeared in my timeline talking about that. DeFi is also huge on Near, leveraging all the previous properties I mentioned, creating a truly decentralized liquidity pool via Rhea Finance, connected with other chains like BTC, Ethereum, ZCash, and more. All that contributes to Near having the second-largest monthly active addresses, with nearly 50 million, only losing to Solana’s nearly 90 million. In the meantime, NEAR, the token, is not even at the 30rd position by market cap. Crazy stuff. To (finally) wrap it up, I also want to mention Near’s consensus decentralization. While having a low node-count, the network has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 11, which is not bad at all. Surely, there is still room for improvement, which is possible as becoming a validator is accessible staking and hardware-wise.

Ep. 20 | Free The Money | How NEAR Intents Fix DeFi UX In this episode, I sit down with Harshit Tiwari (chronear), Head of Ecosystem Strategy at the NEAR Foundation, to break down NEAR Intents, one of the fastest-growing cross-chain protocols. At its core, NEAR Intents allows users to seamlessly move assets across chains without needing to think about bridges, liquidity, or execution. Instead of manually swapping tokens, users simply express what they want (an “intent”), and a network of competing solvers executes the trade, optimizing for the best price and fastest settlement. A major innovation discussed is confidential intents, which bring privacy to on chain trading, something historically missing in crypto. This is especially critical for institutional adoption, where large players require discretion similar to traditional finance (e.g. dark pools). Looking ahead, Harshit predicts a major shift toward AI-driven economies, where autonomous agents transact on behalf of users. Within 12–18 months, AI agents could dominate on-chain activity, executing trades, payments, and real-world tasks through intent-based systems. NEAR is building toward: • Tokenized equities • An open-source AI stack — NEAR AI is already live today • A world where users own their data, not centralized platforms • And a model where ecosystem activity ultimately feeds back into value accrual for NEAR holders Sign up for ITrustCapitol with this link for $100 funding bonus.

🚨 ALERT / TECHNICAL FEEDBACK (TUNA Launchpad) $TUNA CA: GfLD9EQn7A1UjopYVJ8aUUjHQhX14dwFf8oBWKW8pump Everyone, stay sharp. This is not FUD — it’s technical information. A lot of people are buying without even testing the launchpad, and as a developer, I felt it was my responsibility to test it first and share real feedback based on what I saw (it’s all shown in the video). ✅ The site appears to be AI-built — and that’s not the issue. The real issue is how the launchpad works, and right now it has critical flaws for anyone putting money into it. 1) No automated on-chain transaction flow A serious launchpad should handle the transaction flow automatically on-chain. Instead, you click “create token” and then you must manually send SOL to a wallet the platform is “waiting on” to receive funds — and only then they create the token and send you your buy. ➡️ This is a massive risk, because it’s not a standard verifiable on-chain flow (a program/contract executing the logic transparently). 2) Tokens are being created with NO Solana metadata The token coming out is not minting with proper metadata — meaning no name, no image, no on-chain identity recorded correctly. ➡️ That’s a major red flag. I can deploy a token with correct Solana metadata in 5 minutes, so a launchpad failing to do this is a serious problem. 3) Token launches with ZERO liquidity (no pool) The token starts with no liquidity at all, only your initial buy. ➡️ Result: it cannot trade on any DEX, because there is no pool / curve to enable swaps. Every real launchpad uses a bonding curve or liquidity model so the token launches with a functional market and a meaningful starting market cap (many start around $4k+, and in ecosystems like BONK pairs such as USD1 often start even higher). 📌 Summary The idea is good, but building a real launchpad is not easy. In its current state, these issues make the risk much higher than most people realize. Since I’m confident most didn’t test it, I tested it for you and shared what I found. If this helped you avoid losses (or reduce risk), here’s my Solana wallet for a tip/bonus: FoJ6dHubHf1bnZpNRDQktzWbDeb5AMcyR761KrNKaeNf ✅ There are still about 10 more problems that I will list in the comments! Good luck to those who stay! Who knows, maybe after the good idea and making money from the fees, they'll decide to do everything 100%. I wish you all the best.

zkgm to $U all! as you may know, Union announced its BTCfi Flywheel Point Campaign a few days ago. this program rewards users with points for actions like bridging, providing liquidity through Union. basically, you bring value — Union gives you hourly points in return. the points increase depending on the LST you use, the bridging method, the pool you provided liquidity etc. so, i made a quick tutorial video to help you earn the maximum possible point multiplier in this campaign. but before we jump into the video, let’s take a look at what we’ll need: - $ETH on Ethereum ( $USDT, $USDC, or $DAI also work, but ETH is still needed for gas fees ) - $BABY on Babylon Genesis chain by the end of the video, we’ll have added liquidity to two different uniBTC/eBABY pools on Tower, which is a native DEX on Babylon Genesis. let’s get started. #UnionBTCfiFlywheel 00:00 - go to and make a deposit to receive uniBTC. 00:28 - head over to and bridge your uniBTC from Ethereum to Babylon Genesis using Union. this process can take 15–20 minutes depending on Ethereum finality. 01:32 - use to liquid stake your BABY and receive eBABY in return. 01:55 - add liquidity to the uniBTC/eBABY pools on Tower. since these pools currently have very low liquidity, you can only add in small amounts. that’s why i added liquidity in several smaller batches. by doing this, we followed the most optimal path to earn points. you can see the Union point multipliers next to each pool on the Tower interface. currently, there are 3 pools with a 2.5x multiplier, two of them are the ones we added liquidity to. the other one includes pumpBTC, feel free to try that as well. more liquidity for other Union-bridged BTC LSTs will be available over time.

A swap is only the visible part of a DEX. What actually makes a DEX useful is everything happening around that swap. That’s what made me look closer at GnoSwap . I’ve already made a few swaps on the platform and I’m also on the leaderboard now, so I decided to look beyond the points and understand what is actually happening underneath. ➜ Liquidity GnoSwap lets LPs choose the price range where they want their capital to work. That means liquidity can be positioned around the prices where trading activity is happening, rather than simply sitting across the entire range. When trades happen within your range, your position can earn swap fees. ➜ $GNS has a bigger role $GNS isn't just another token sitting in your wallet. You can stake it for xGNS, giving you governance voting power while also allowing you to participate in protocol fees. ➜ New projects have a route in Launchpad takes a different approach. You lock your $GNS for a selected period and receive tokens from a participating project. Your $GNS principal isn't spent on the launch. The trade off is the lock period, while the protocol fee yield is redirected to the project. ➜ The leaderboard adds another layer My swaps have already put me on the board, and I like that activity on the platform isn't completely disconnected from the wider ecosystem. You can build points through swaps, liquidity and staking, while referrals can also contribute to your score. The more I explore GnoSwap, the less I see it as just a place to swap tokens. It is becoming a piece of the infrastructure around where liquidity, markets, governance and new projects can all connect. I'm still early, but I'm paying attention. GnoSwap Join through my link:

Onchain trading still feels more fragmented than it should. One tab for discovery. Another for market data. Another to check wallets. Another to execute the trade. Then another one to track what happened after. I spent some time actually trading through Warden / Halo Token Terminal today, and this is where the “one terminal” idea started to make sense. - Discovery before execution Instead of moving between Dexscreener, CoinGecko and a separate trading interface, I can filter the market directly across Robinhood Chain, Arc, Base and BNB Chain by liquidity, FDV, volume, age, category, signals and even Top Cooks activity. I picked $JOLLY on Robinhood Chain and took it one step further with Warden Buffett. The AI chart read doesn’t simply throw out a bullish or bearish prediction. It breaks down trend, momentum, MACD, pool flow, liquidity, holder concentration, support/resistance and contract risk across multiple timeframes. In this case it actually came back with “direction unsettled” and gave me the levels and market structure behind that conclusion. That is much more useful to me than an AI tool pretending it knows where price goes next. - Analysis and execution stay on the same screen From the AI read, I went directly into a real USDG → JOLLY trade. Before I signed anything, the terminal showed me the route, estimated amount received, minimum received, slippage, platform fee and whether the route was gasless. I knew the downside of the execution before confirming it. No separate swap tab. No moving assets around just to continue the workflow. Warden also keeps PnL tracking inside the terminal, so discovery, analysis, execution and position tracking don’t become four different jobs. - The part I find more interesting than another price screener Top Cooks adds another layer to discovery. Instead of only asking what is moving?, I can see where consistently profitable wallets are active and compare their net flows over 1H, 24H and 7D. That turns wallet activity into another input before making a trade rather than something I have to research separately afterward. Then the leaderboard ties the whole system together: trading activity, new traders and referrals all contribute to the points competition. For this trade, Warden effectively replaced several tabs I would normally keep open at the same time. Discovery → AI analysis → wallet flows → execution → PnL All inside one terminal. If you want to test workflow yourself, you can join through link,

Robinhood Chain could become the next billion-dollar meme ecosystem. The reason is simple Every successful ecosystem in crypto was never built around a single meme coin pumping. It was built around the users, attention, and ecosystem effects that memes created. $BRETT once reached a $2B market cap and became one of the most iconic memes in the Base ecosystem. It helped Base attract massive attention, users, and liquidity. Solana followed a similar path. Over the past few years, meme coins became one of Solana’s strongest user acquisition channels. further proved that speculation can be transformed into massive on-chain user growth. Almost every successful ecosystem has gone through a meme-driven growth phase. And Robinhood Chain happens to have several unique advantages: First, it has Robinhood’s distribution power with tens of millions of traditional finance users. Second, Robinhood is building around RWA and tokenized stocks, which requires bringing more users on-chain. Third, memes could become the lowest-friction entry point connecting traditional finance users with the crypto world. Robinhood’s CEO said: “While we’re building Robinhood Chain to be the best chain for RWA… it works great for memes too.” Many people see this as just a casual comment. But I think it reveals Robinhood’s deeper product strategy. Because RWA is unlikely to be the reason users enter crypto for the first time. Very few people will download a wallet and learn how bridges work just to buy a tokenized stock. But a viral meme can become the first interaction that brings users on-chain. Once users enter the ecosystem, they can gradually explore stablecoins, RWA, tokenized stocks, and other on-chain products. If Robinhood can replicate the Base and Solana playbook, Robinhood Chain could become the catalyst for the next major meme wave in crypto.

1️⃣ How Hypersurface Actually Works There has been increasing interest in how on-chain options liquidity is created and how Hypersurface operates under the hood. 👇 This post breaks down the mechanics. - 2️⃣ How options liquidity works in traditional markets In OTC options markets, liquidity is not passive. When a user sells an option, a desk takes the other side and replicates the payoff through delta hedging. This process requires collateral to secure the position and capital to hedge directional exposure. If the user does not provide collateral, the desk must source capital externally. That cost of capital is embedded into pricing. The result is wider spreads and lower premiums for the user. - 3️⃣ What Hypersurface changes Hypersurface removes the dependency on external desks. Liquidity is created directly within the protocol. Instead of routing flow to third parties, the system prices the option, takes the position, and hedges exposure programmatically. - 4️⃣ Execution and hedging When a position enters the system, the protocol computes the delta of the position and executes a corresponding hedge directly on Hyperliquid. This is not manual execution. It is deterministic and contract-driven. - 5️⃣ Why Hyperliquid matters This architecture is enabled by Hyperliquid’s core EVM integration. It allows smart contracts to execute trades directly on the exchange without transferring funds to externally controlled accounts. This removes a critical trust assumption present in most systems. - 6️⃣ Fund custody and control. User funds remain within smart contracts at all times. There is no transfer to team-controlled wallets, no manual custody layer, and no off-chain execution dependency. All actions, including hedging and settlement, are executed at the contract level. - 7️⃣ What this enables. By internalizing liquidity and automating hedging, the system achieves tighter pricing, improved capital efficiency, and scalability without solely relying on external market makers. Market makers can participate to improve the quote, but they have to compete with the protocol, which results in better, more reliable prices for users. - 8️⃣ Context. In traditional and CeFi systems, similar strategies exist. However, they rely on centralized exchanges, custodial execution, and off-chain coordination. Hypersurface replicates these mechanics on-chain with reduced trust assumptions and full transparency. - 9️⃣ Conclusion. Liquidity is created within the protocol. Exposure is hedged programmatically. Funds remain in smart contracts. No intermediaries. No manual execution. This is how on-chain options infrastructure scales. - Join the Hypersurface community on Telegram or Discord! 📎 📎

$VEX | Project:VEX dumped tokens and extracted nearly $1.5M from users 👇👇 I’m pretty busy and tbh I didn’t really want to get involved in this drama, but the $VEX founder has asked me many times for proof that tokens were being sold. So I went back onchain and checked how these transactions actually work. [1] Why you can’t find the sell txs from the From wallet With a normal wallet, the flow is simple: EOA wallet → DEX → sell, so checking the From address usually shows the trading history directly. But some of the $VEX wallets I checked use a different setup, where the address shown in From is only a Bundler. The actual transaction can be executed through a Smart Account behind it, which means the visible From wallet may show almost no $VEX buy/sell history. Think of it like this: Bundler = delivery driver, Smart Account = the person deciding where the package goes. [2] How Smart Accounts work A normal EOA wallet works like: Private key → Wallet → DEX A Smart Account setup can look more like: Owner key / passkey / multisig → Smart Contract Wallet → Execution contract → DEX / bridge / app So if you only check the visible From wallet, you are only seeing the outer layer of the transaction. The real token movement can happen behind it through Smart Accounts, execution contracts and liquidity pools. [3] This is what I found when tracing $VEX Instead of stopping at the From address, I checked ERC-20 Transfer logs, Approval logs, Smart Accounts, Bundlers, execution contracts and liquidity pools. Once you follow the full path, the $VEX sell activity is there: token leaves the Smart Account, part goes to fees, and the rest gets routed into liquidity pools and swapped into other assets. So when someone says “show me the wallet selling $VEX,” checking only the Bundler wallet is basically useless. You need to trace the entire execution path. [4] Then I checked the top PnL wallets I quick checked around 100 of the highest PnL wallets around $VEX, and many of them show similar behavior. They were active around $VEX from very early on, traded continuously, used Bundler/Smart Account execution and ended up with very high PnL. From my quick calculation, the combined PnL of the wallets I checked is already close to $1.5M. That is a lot of money extracted from the market while users were still buying and holding $VEX. I’m still tracing these wallets one by one, so I’m not saying every address is already confirmed to belong to the team/MM. But the sell activity itself is onchain. [5] And don’t forget the 1% transaction fee $VEX also charges around 1% transaction fee, and with the volume the token generated, the fee side alone could be worth around $2M based on my estimate. So potentially we are looking at around $1.5M PnL from these wallets + around $2M from transaction fees. If the team thinks my wallet analysis is wrong, the answer is simple: public the team wallets, MM wallets, treasury wallets and fee wallets. Then everyone can compare them directly onchain. Send this sh*t to 0.

DOES ANYONE EVEN STILL TRADE MEMES? $PEPE - looks unstoppable… until volume disappears $DOGE - “the people’s coin”… until the cycle rotates $BONK - fastest hype on Solana… fastest fade after So where are they now? Right - at the bottom Why? Because that was the meta of 2021-2024 When any narrative could fly without fundamentals just on liquidity inflow > Endless liquidity > Endless hype > Endless belief that “this time it’s different” But this market has changed Today projects grow thanks to a sustainable foundation clear economics and mechanisms that work not only in a bull market And if we draw an analogy the best contrast to the meme sector right now is iGaming > Same explosive numbers > Same user flow > Same ability to scale fast But compared to memes the nature of this money is completely different For memes it is Price = Function of attention For iGaming: Price = Function of model That’s why the growth potential of these narratives is similar but the further progress is fundamentally different Although here you also need to be careful because like in any other niche in iGaming there are dishonest or low-quality cases especially if: > The token is not connected to the product > Buybacks come not from revenue but from treasury > There is no real use-case > Liquidity is limited to one chain But of course there are exceptions and personally for me one of the best cases as an example is 1win Token I want to note that they have existed for 10 years and have only been growing during this period And now let’s move to the key advantages that caught my attention: > Userbase of millions of users = demand > Buyback from revenue and therefore it’s not “support” but constant pressure from the business > Dual-native (BNB + SOL) more markets = more liquidity > Regular token burns > Integration into an already existing product If we sum it all up: Memes = pure speculation iGaming (when built properly) = speculation + fundamentals And this combination is what makes the difference Essentially the same growth dynamics but a completely different quality of holding The story of “catching hype” is over now only those with fundamentals win and this project has it NFA DYOR

My conversation with Tarun Chitra As a co-founder of Gauntlet and GP at Robot Ventures, Tarun has one of the sharpest frameworks for understanding market structure across both crypto and AI. In this episode we dig into why open source AI is unbundling faster than most people expect, and how the resulting stack looks surprisingly similar to DeFi. We spend time mapping the AI infrastructure layers directly onto crypto primitives and examining where value is actually going to accrue as models, harnesses, routers, and inference providers separate. At the center of the conversation is the belief that AI’s unbundling is creating a new competitive order-flow market (data centers competing like nodes, MEV-like dynamics for tokens/GPUs) while crypto itself has settled into a more mature “TradFi plus+” phase focused on trading, payments, and bringing real assets on-chain. We discuss: - The current state of crypto as TradFi+ and the decline of speculative narratives - Why AI is killing Bitcoin mining economics and weakening ETH value accrual - The architectural parallel between AI stacks and DeFi (Harnesses = Wallets, Routers = DEX aggregators, Models = Protocols, Inference Providers = LPs) - Why open source models are unbundling faster than traditional software - Agents as the next interface layer and the potential unbundling of ETFs -Cryptography, verifiable compute, and turning GPUs into digital assets - Onchain compute trading as the real crypto × AI opportunity - Sustainable business models and where value will ultimately capture Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction & State of the Crypto Market 2:00 – Speculative Narratives Fade, Trading & Payments Remain 7:00 – AI’s Impact on Bitcoin Economics & Data Center Opportunity Cost 9:00 – ETH Value Accrual, Solana Positioning & DeFi Token Sustainability 15:00 – Trading Design Space & On-Chain Volume Upside 25:00 – AI Unbundling Thesis: Open-Source Models vs Data Centers 35:00 – The DeFi Mapping (Harnesses, Routers, Models, Inference) 48:00 – Agents, Preference Expression & Unbundling Traditional Products 1:00:00 – Real-Time Harness Generation & Active Learning 1:05:00 – Cryptography, Verifiable Compute & On-Chain GPU Markets 1:10:00 – Closing Thoughts: Where Value Accrues Next Enjoy!
