$NEAR trades like an AI coin and earns like an exchange.
the money that buys back NEAR doesn't come from AI. it comes from swaps: NEAR Intents did $10.4b last quarter and is plugged into Ledger, Brave Wallet and, since Monday, institutional desks via Talos.
those swaps pay fees, and NEAR's cut buys NEAR on the open market.
if the AI trade comes back, NEAR gets that bid too. until then, the swaps keep buying.

Can a vote gather a signal without binding a decision? Violet (@rollergirlVi) and Daira-Emma discuss the mechanics of @Zcash governance, coinholder polling/voting, and why a healthy system needs many ways to be heard.
What do we miss when we look from only one place?

90% of you cant even admit when you’re wrong
Then you try to tell me when I’m right
ZEC TRADING LIKE ITS BACKED BY ACTUAL DOG SHIT
Btc trading like a better version of it just got an ad in the wall street journal or something
Nah he aint serious
$hype is a joke. The team is retarded. Squandered every lead and advantage and now they are vastly behind. Trying to staple on an RFQ model to their clob. Zero talk of s3 and people are tired of wasting money on absurd HL fees. The prediction market is ugly and clunky and hip 3 is being eaten alive by Variational. Then you have the team soaking up tokens that are earmarked for users by having their GIANT locked team allocation staked....its a joke

They are actually gonna give these morons another chance to bid hyperliquid but they wont 😂
I will take hype over zcash here any day of the week

if you're a Diamond caller (e.g. high quality coins, crosschain coins, or perps)
you have FAR less competition compared to daily Degen rewards participants.
there are SERIOUS rewards on the table for anyone who meets any of the three conditions above.

So @ilblackdragon aped more $IMEME then this happened right after 👇
->Wallet truekale619.near added 5,065 wNEAR (~$18.2K) in one-sided concentrated liquidity to the iMEME/wNEAR pool on Rhea.
->MC range: ~$293K–$299K
->DCL points: 44000–44200
->Deposited: 5,065 wNEAR and 0 iMEME
This effectively acts as buy-side liquidity, allowing NEAR to be gradually converted into iMEME as the price moves down through the range.
Something is cooking, I’m buying all dips

The irony is the market created by Pumpfun has made everyone so poor they have no choice but to take paid promos from Pumpfun.
I AM WALKING INTO THE MOST ABUNDANT, GRATEFUL, BALANCED, WEALTHY, LUCKY, PRESENT, JOYFUL, FUN AND HEALTHY PERIOD OF MY LIFE.
I GRANT MYSELF JOY, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, PROSPERITY, CONFIDENCE, FAITH IN MYSELF, AND THE ABILITY TO DISCERN BETWEEN WHAT I DO NOT NEED(SCARCITY) AND WHAT I DESERVE(GREATNESS).
I ACCEPT THIS OPPORTUNITY OF UNLIMITED PROSPERITY AND GIVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO FOCUS, ADAPT, AND CONQUER

I was a bottom signal on this one
Shit happens, game is game
I wanna see the zcat holders win
IMO ZCAT is the best Meme/Narrative we have seen in a long time and its honestly painful that every day this week I have wanted to bid it and have stopped myself because the market just does not agree with me
The participants are insufferable

It's official, I've joined @Pumpfun 🤝
Been living in the app this week. What's standing out:
Callouts now reward quality over quantity. Low cap spam earns less, and payouts lean on whether followers actually profit
Diamond callouts were added for higher market cap tokens. I'll be doing a lot more of these in this market
NEAR tokens are tradable right in the app, no bridging
Animated replays are fire, love watching them back
50mil+ revenue and 12 billion DEX volume in the last 30 days per DefiLlama. Can’t ignore these numbers

Pay attention to what is showing strength on red days
The NEAR ecosystem is completely unaffected

Banger take
i've been trying to figure out why the 2026 drawdown feels so much more personal than 2018/2022 even though it’s not nearly as bad price wise. my take:
a lot of people on here have decided there's now a clock running. ai is coming, the door to escaping the middle class is closing, and if you haven't made it in the next couple years you're on ubi as a pleb forever.
i don't know if that's true. but it doesn't matter if it's true. people here believe it, so they're putting a deadline on themselves and when the market doesn't cooperate on that timeline it feels like they’re missing the last train out of a burning town rather than “just a bad few months but we can recover”
this also explains retails pivot to memes as a “fast track” to making it.
add instagram to the mix. 22 year olds in mansions and lambos all over your feed, most of them you suspect got there by rugging people like you.
envy is one of the strongest emotions there is, and envy plus a ticking clock is my guess to why we are seeing crash outs instead of just "this cycle sucks but we’re all in this together bros”
it truly is diff now
