Aurora Intents processed over $19 million across 1,718 swaps, capturing more than half of the $36.9M total auction volume.

$NEAR is having a serious run, but the interesting part isn’t the price.
A lot of people still see NEAR as another L1 from the last cycle. But NEAR has been quietly building something much bigger.
With NEAR Intents, you don’t need to know which chain to use, where the liquidity is, or which bridge to touch. You tell the network what you want done, and the solvers handle the rest across different chains.
Now imagine that with tokenized stocks, stablecoins, RWAs and AI agents.
An AI agent won’t care whether an asset sits on Ethereum, Solana or another chain. It just needs to be able to find it, move it and transact with it.
That’s exactly the problem NEAR is trying to solve.
Chain Signatures lets NEAR-based applications interact with assets on other chains, while its AI work is focused on giving agents the infrastructure to actually operate and transact.
At the same time, NEAR has cut maximum annual issuance from 5% to 2.5%, with protocol revenue increasingly becoming part of the economic model.
So I’m not looking at NEAR and seeing another L1. I’m looking at a network trying to make moving money between blockchains as simple as telling an AI what you want.
If that works, the opportunity is much bigger than anyone can imagine.
