We just announced support for RWAs on near.com It's hard to describe how important this unlock is One of the biggest pieces of the vision just fell into place: stocks & ETFs near.com was never meant to be just a crypto app The vision is one confidential, permisionless account for your entire financial life: > Crypto > Stocks > ETFs > Bonds > Perps > Yield Onchain. Permissionless. Confidential by design Where else can you hold and move both traditional and digital assets from a single account without KYC intermediaries, or exposing your entire finances? This is a major step toward making that vision real

Its that easy

I just know that as soon as I cancel my codex subscriptions @OpenAI is gonna drop the best model they have ever dropped

We gave near.com a proper refresh last week crypto, stocks & ETFs, perps and earn should be easier to scan search, filter, check prices and charts we keep supporting new chains/assets so this should make them easier to find

Robinhood chain is now available on near.com Same account, one more chain. Go play with it

Trade Quantus on near.com

New design just dropped. We've been rebuilding a lot of the core experience behind the scenes and now it's much easier to explore and trade across categories like RWAs. What’s improved: > Cleaner navigation and portfolio experience > Charts and better trading flows on detail pages > Faster, more intuitive browsing overall > Spotlight search for quick navigation > Dedicated market pages across Crypto, RWAs, Perps and Earn > Better filters and sorting to find what you’re looking for There’s still plenty we want to improve, but it’s coming together

This makes it 2x this man got funds back from hackers What a chad

many false dichotomies around this you can't reap the benefits of being "early" if you're not willing to stomach the path it requires many new folks don't get how this works, so a rough explanation is in order, as cross-chain stuff often comes up in crypto an imperfect but useful analogy: near intents is to near what hyperunit is to hyperliquid that is, it is not the chain itself, but a cross-chain protocol that augments the chain -- you can think of it as a collection of bridges + some other shit. but it is not part of consensus a cross-chain protocol, for all chains, will always have more trust assumptions than the underlying chain -- unit for example also has OFAC screening as does pretty much anything of this nature (your favorite defi or trading app on any chain also almost certainly fits this and even some validators, with few exceptions) this is almost always true for anything that's not the main chain itself, as most cross-chain protocols are generally secured by MPC networks (or multisigs) and MPC clusters are by definition smaller than core validator clusters and this remains true of all connective tissue, e.g., recall how Arbitrum multisig froze the funds of NK hacker a few months ago that of course did not affect the "moneyness" of Ethereum as that is Arbitrum and not ETH on Ethereum itself same thing here I am not aware of any system that can function much differently on risk parameters today (though I can think of a few who lie about it who get called out by zach every few months) the aspiration of course is that over time MPC networks (or multisig governance in the case of rollups) get decentralized enough to reduce the concentration of influence and minimize it to only provable bug patches and asymptotically zero human judgement that is fundamentally what you are underwriting this is a big reason why Solana seeks to concentrate everything internally on a giant chain so that bridge trust risk is minimized (though in practice, this is only half the picture since for example RWAs fundamentally have control authority with the issuer itself, that's why USDT can be frozen on any chain) so, there are three paths here: i) you transact on the main chain itself with only the native asset of the chain, i.e ZEC on Zcash, BTC on Bitcoin, SOL on Solana this is maximal risk reduction, but obviously limiting for anything beyond SoV or payments ii) you do your bridging via CEXes fine, but very large tradeoffs for asset selection, withdrawal/deposit limits, KYC, accessibility, privacy and you get way worse freezing/trust problems iii) you do your bridging via crypto-native protocols that are relatively less decentralized than an entire blockchain itself but are improving security and decentralization constantly, especially against CEXes for crypto to become a truly planetary economy, iii) must work. this is not a choice, it's just a matter of who wins that segment but the only way iii) can work is if such protocols survive long enough to not get shut down by the feds because then the exchanges will default win and that aspirational future for crypto will be entirely lost a valid criticism here is that this should have already been maximally decentralized already, but ofc that comes with its own tradeoffs like being too slow to patch bugs or add features in a relatively nascent stage again, your job is underwriting the execution risk. and you must do so while understanding the parts at play

zcash is the new bitcoin near is the new ethereum

How many announcements will happen in 1 day

What if your PnL stays private by default, but you can choose exactly how much to reveal, to whom, and when? Best of both worlds near.com

Ondo 🤝 NEAR

sounds good, send it

fully unlocked, revenue, hypergrowth probably nothing

near intents tvl is going parabolic

Clean UX, low fees, almost every chain, and confidentiality by default across the entire experience, from swaps and perps to earn Most products get one or two of these right near.com is bringing it all

You heard the man, head to near.com get set up in a few seconds and experience it firsthand
