Brave Leo now runs on private AI inference from NEAR AI Cloud, by @near_ai. Pick GLM 5.3 Flash in Leo and your chat is end-to-end encrypted into a hardware enclave (TEE). @brave can't read it. NEAR AI can't read it. The cloud host can't either. 🧵

so let me get this straight. in the last two weeks: base shipped a seize function inside its native token standard (cobalt upgrade) thorchain turned down a freeze request from bitget, even as it confirmed it could halt the entire chain if it wanted to near intents didn't wait to be asked and froze $503k mid-swap over the bitget hack and said permissionless "doesn't mean neutral" near intents then halted itself after getting drained for $3.8m yes pragmatism, institutions etc etc .. but at the very base protocol layers???

Been experimenting with Ironclaw and honestly surprised at how @NEARprotocol was able to build a version of Openclaw that actually improves on privacy, speed, and security. We’ve reached a point where we can approve high-risk external requests while keeping our data completely siloed. This is the only viable path to using AI agents safely and securely. In the near future where agentic commerce is the norm, I foresee AI agents will be able to transact cross-chain via NEAR intents, complete jobs and get paid via Near's agent market. All of these activity will accrue value to NEAR token as well. The team have come a long way since 2024 trying integrate AI and blockchain and they might have just done it.

Pretty much no one I've chatted with is following this but $NEAR is looking very interesting on a fundamental basis. - NEAR token is currently almost fully offsetting validator emissions with revenue. $34MM in annualized revenue (96% from Near intents) vs. $35MM in emissions - This a very new dynamic post near intents fee switch activating earlier this week - Intents are particularly well suited for crosschain agentic swaps - Near is rolling out confidential intents for private cross chain swaps - Near has rolled out a confidential and secure inference product for agents, which is particularly useful considering the number of recent vulnerabilities from unsecure agent setups - The token is fully unlocked and vested, there are no VCs or team to sell, anyone that has wanted to sell has already had the chance - Currently trading at 1/3 the price of where it was throughout most of H2 2025
