Today is the 6th anniversary of @NEARProtocol MainNet! A lot of great tech has shipped since Oct. 13, 2020 – but our vision has not changed: all people should be able to control their own assets, data, and power of choice. We all deserve access to tools and technology that enhance our sovereignty, intelligence, and opportunity – and in many ways this mission feels even more urgent than it did when we started NEAR 8 years ago. The last year has brought some great milestones: –@near_intents has moved $34B in volume, up from $2B this time last year –Intents integrated 15 more chains for a total of 35, with dozens of app integrations –Launched Confidential Intents, which grew to $3B as of today in volume and $170m TVL –near(dot)com launched & shipped tons of new features in under a year –Near One shipped dynamic resharding and post-quantum signing –Achieved 1M TPS in a public benchmark –@near_ai is providing confidential inference to Venice, Brave Browser, and the government of Bermuda – and is now available on OpenRouter –Token economics upgrades shifted towards greater value capture, including inflation halving, the Intents fee switch, and revenue generation –Launched House of Stake 2.0 and formalized tokenholder governance –@alexskidanov made major strides towards cheap, scalable formal verification –First NEAR ETF with @bitwise and first public treasury company launched @svrn_ai This only scratches the surface of our ecosystem’s achievements this year – thank you to all in the @NEARProtocol community, whether you’re a new believer or were there at the beginning. Let’s keep building in a positive-sum mindset and watch everyone else catch up.
