Proud of what Node Studio Cohort 1 achieved over the past year 🌐
What started as an effort to make validator infrastructure more accessible became a network of operators actively supporting @NEARProtocol.
🔹55 validators.
🔹5.6M $NEAR across the cohort.
🔹1 full year of operations.
Built with @NEARProtocol, @NEARFoundation and @Openmesh_Network to make validator infrastructure more accessible.
Here’s what this year looked like ⬇️

Explore the NEAR ecosystem, all in one place 🌐
A complete map of @NEARProtocol apps, projects and builders, built by @shitzuonnear.

NEAR roughly doubled since mid-September, there's a spot ETF now, and a lot of people are looking at the ecosystem for the first time
This is the map I'd use to get around. 17 projects, sorted by what they do and whether they have a token
Core stack
@near_intents: the cross-chain swap layer, $35B+ settled. Protocol revenue funds near:native buybacks
near.com: NEAR's own app. ~$147M sits in private balances on Intents
@near_ai: private AI cloud, IronClaw agents and an agent marketplace
Wallets
@hotdao_: did ~65% of all NEAR txs in Q2, a lot of that is mining and Telegram activity though. Token not live yet
@MeteorWallet: switch your account to quantum-safe keys in one click
@noir_wallet: shielded ZEC in a browser extension, built by the RHEA team
DeFi
@rhea_finance: the main DEX, lending and staking protocol on NEAR, ~$280M TVL. DEX revenue funds RHEA buybacks
@meta_pool and @LinearProtocol: liquid staking, $122M and $99M staked
Launchpads
@nearlytrade: tokens go straight into a RHEA pool, $39M volume since Sep 22
@justhootfun: same idea, smaller
@shardsmarket: the bonding curve option, supports ZEC pairs
@tryneartrade: basically Axiom for NEAR, every launchpad in one feed, trade on web or Telegram
Memes
solana:6UtY9iTZMQQ5QZVrbzFnNaJntV7oySm9k97mvwnuZcxr lives on Solana but trades against NEAR, ~$2.9M mcap
$BATMAN one of the biggest memes on NEAR, named after the corgi of co-founder @AlexSkidanov
solana:FHqhvvLCVThubEjeT9kk4UaUNQSawvbWypCn6XM7dF7r and $BLACKDRAGON are OG memes. Both ran hard around Sep 27–28, when NEAR broke $5, and have since retraced sharply
A lot of the new NEAR meme activity flows through RHEA, especially from launchpads like Nearly and JustHoot. If meme demand picks up again, that's where you'll see it first.
What did I miss?

Staking is how $NEAR stays secure, and how holders take part in it 🧵
If you hold NEAR, understanding staking is essential.
Here's how staking works, why liquidity matters and how to stake NEAR on Meta Pool 👇

💧 How Meta Pool works
Stake $NEAR and receive stNEAR, your share of the Meta Pool stake.
Its price in NEAR increases every epoch as staking rewards are added to the pool.
Use it in NEAR DeFi, or unstake: instantly for a small fee, or fee-free with delayed unstake.

AI agents are becoming real economic actors 🔁
With Agent Market, @near_ai connects builders and buyers in an open marketplace.
Another strong step for the NEAR ecosystem.
Agent Market is NEAR AI's marketplace for AI agents.
Buyers hire agents by the job. Builders list the agents they already run, set their own price and get paid when the buyer accepts the work.
The marketplace handles everything that sits between a working agent and a working business.

🏛️ Stronger governance
Helius (@Helius CEO @mert joined the NEAR Foundation Council, bringing an operator's view on privacy and liquidity to how NEAR builds and grows.
Helius CEO @mert has joined the NEAR Foundation Council, NEAR Foundation’s governing body.
An early NEAR Intents user and leading voice on privacy, Mert brings an operator’s view to how NEAR builds and grows.
“For crypto to win, we need connected, unstoppable liquidity at planetary scale. A market of markets. Neither Solana, Zcash, or Bitcoin can win on their own, we must work together. And NEAR is how."

What's the billion-dollar opportunity for Meta Pool?
Our co-founder @ccossio says AI agents mostly talk to each other today, not to protocols.
The big opportunity is getting them to use staking as infrastructure, and that's what we're building toward 🤖

Cross-chain markets for $NEAR just got a lot more interesting.
Excited to see @near_intents and Sunrise unlocking liquid markets for NEAR across chains.
Welcome, @sunrise 👏
Sunrise is partnering with @near_intents to establish liquid markets for NEAR Intents assets on @Solana.
NEAR Intents powers universal asset access across chains. Sunrise establishes the markets.
The rollout begins with $NEAR, now trading via Sunrise.
Next, we plan to integrate NEAR Intents directly, opening more pathways for assets and liquidity to reach Solana.
