2025 has been quite revealing for the NEAR ecosystem. The Intent-based architecture has finally found genuine product-market fit, with over $8 billion in transaction volume flowing through the platform. Following six major chain upgrades, the network is now sustaining throughput exceeding 1 million transactions per second—a significant milestone for scalability. What's more striking is that verifiable AI infrastructure built on NEAR is already live and actively serving 100 million users across real-world applications. The convergence of high-performance blockchain infrastructure with practical AI deployment is shifting how we think about what's actually possible on-chain this year.

80 billion in trading volume, millions of TPS, and still need to build AI infrastructure... Near is really holding back a big move.

NGL Near this time really has something, 8 billion in trading volume is no joke --- The intent architecture is finally not just talk, has it actually been implemented? --- What does 1 million TPS mean? Now it can leave Ethereum in the dust --- Verifiable AI directly reaches 100 million users, not just hype and speculation... --- Wait, is this real? Why is there no movement in my circle? --- This isn't marketing copy, right? Are there any data? --- On-chain AI is a pretty aggressive lead, it might really explode this year --- Near is up to something again, I heard about this two years ago

ngl near this wave has some substance, 1 million TPS is really no joke AI infrastructure running on-chain to serve 100 million users? I’d have to see it to believe it 80 billion in transaction volume sounds impressive, but how does it feel in practice? The intent architecture finally found the right people. At this pace, will it become outdated soon?
