Near Protocol price

GM to everyone that GMs 🫡 Happy Sunday! Today is a good day to analyze what's good to yap about on CT... I managed to quack into the Top 80 on Wallchain's @Covalent_HQ leaderboard today - will keep pushing for higher 💪 There are 11 days left before TGE for @MavrykNetwork so seeing a lot on my timeline about them! Also 11 days before the snapshot for @HanaNetwork 👀 Remember that there are some good rewards post-TGE that you might be able to get a share of if you yap about them, including @peaq, @0xPolygon and @NEARProtocol.

A few days ago, I saw someone in a friends' group complaining: "Why do I have to open a dozen pages just to swap tokens across chains, and worry about the bridge running away?" To be honest, this reminded me of quick payments in real life: WeChat and Alipay can complete transactions with one click, but on the blockchain, it’s still a bunch of cumbersome operations. I was thinking—since AI can help people write articles and run tasks, why can’t blockchain transactions be automated and completed seamlessly? Why do cross-chain transactions still rely on complex operations and additional intermediaries? Clearly, users just want an experience where they can "click once and it’s done." @NEARProtocol's answer is: NEAR Intents. In a nutshell: it turns the transaction process into "intention-driven"; users only need to express what they want to do, and the chain will automatically find the best path and execute it. It’s like having a smart assistant handling everything for you behind the scenes. NEAR Intents essentially solves three things: When → Users can initiate with one click, no need to wait for a keeper reminder; the chain executes anytime. Why → Behind it is intelligent routing that finds the optimal solution, so users don’t have to research liquidity pools themselves. What → Cross-chain exchanges, settlements, reinvestments; the chain will automatically complete the entire process according to the intention. It’s not just a "token swapping tool." NEAR has high-performance consensus at its core, an abstract stack, and adds an AI stack: model calls, monetization agents, and personal AI assistants. In other words: first, smooth the road (high performance), then let AI drive for you (intention execution). The potential of NEAR Intents is already reflected in the data: 👉 Cumulative swap transactions have surpassed 2 million, and it continues to set new daily highs. Where can it be implemented? 〓 Seamless cross-chain transactions → Users click once, and assets instantly arrive across chains. 〓 DeFi investment strategies → Dollar-cost averaging, rebalancing, and take-profit/take-loss all automated. 〓 AI assistant trading → In the future, every user can have a dedicated AI assistant to help create value on-chain. Users don’t need to worry about complex bridges, scripts, or keeper networks. Execution is transparent, and fees are clear, backed by NEAR's high-performance stack. The experience is like "Alipay on the chain." For developers: Directly call the Intents API to write what users "want to do" into contract interfaces. Prioritize using composable primitives (swap, lend, stake). Structure execution events so that users can track and audit them. Internalize cost models to optimize Gas and latency experiences. Some might say: Isn’t this just "helping users cross chains"? But the fact is: cross-chain transactions are becoming a default capability, just like water and electricity that can be used anytime. So I want to say: Keepers can clock out; in the future of DeFi, NEAR Intents will complete tasks for you on time.
