🚀 Why is $NEAR one of the best-performing tokens lately?

🚀 Why is $NEAR one of the best-performing tokens lately?

1.Over 98% (basically 100%) of all $NEAR  tokens have already been unlocked, meaning there is little to no remaining unlock-related selling pressure.

 

2.The only ongoing supply increase comes from the protocol’s ~2.5% annual inflation, which rewards validators and stakers.

 

3.Meanwhile, 70% of base transaction fees are burned, and 100% of NEAR Intents fees are used to buy back $NEAR directly — creating powerful buy pressure as usage grows. This reduces the net inflation rate to roughly 1.5–2.5% (or even deflationary during high activity).

4.On top of that, many large NEAR holders are long-term believers in the ecosystem rather than short-term sellers.

Near interns

Just 4 months after launching on the Near Protocol, near_intents has already generated $34 million in fees, securing the #1 spot overall — outperforming even full-year leaders.

rhea_finance follows in second place with $6.3 million over the last year.

Ironclaw

I recently deployed IronClaw both on NEAR AI Cloud (one-click deployment was incredibly smooth) and locally. What impressed me the most:

  • The security approach feels very solid. Secrets stay inside an encrypted vault and the LLM has zero direct access to them. This gives real peace of mind when giving the agent access to wallets, trading, or dApps.
  • Built with Rust + WASM sandbox + TEE support. It feels professionally engineered.
  • Great support for multiple LLMs (NEAR AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.). My tests with OpenAI worked smoothly.
  • The project philosophy is excellent: “Your AI assistant should work for you, not against you.”

Hot wallet active users

Despite ongoing uncertainty regarding HOT Wallet's statistics and potential airdrop, the platform currently maintains around 110K daily active users.

Based on current activity levels, nearly half of all active users on NEAR protocol are active on HOT Wallet.

HOT Wallet Airdrop

We’ve had around 300,000 HOT miners over the last 90 days.

If there’s going to be an airdrop, it needs to be substantial enough to reward the community meaningfully.

Assuming all 300,000 miners are eligible:

• A $1M airdrop would allocate about $3.33 per miner on average.
• A $10M airdrop would allocate about $33.33 per miner on average.
• A $100M airdrop would allocate about $333.33 per miner on average.
