Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz just joined $NEAR Foundation Council.

His mandate? Push privacy infrastructure for onchain markets.

Helius already runs one of the fastest RPC networks in crypto. Now he's bringing that execution energy to $NEAR's privacy layer.

This isn't just another advisor announcement. Mert ships product. If $NEAR is serious about privacy-first DeFi, this is the kind of operator you want at the table.

Watch how $NEAR positions itself in the privacy narrative over the next 6 months.
