- NEAR Intents is the fastest-growing cross-chain infrastructure. Intents' July momentum, by the numbers 🧵
- The most recent nearcore 2.13 release included two major protocol upgrades to enhance NEAR’s cryptographic durability and capacity. FIPS-204 signing defends accounts against quantum attack. Dynamic resharding removes the manual coordination required to add throughput. Both liveMAINNET UPGRADE Quantum-safe signing is now live on NEAR mainnet. This makes NEAR one of the first blockchains with a NIST-approved post-quantum signature scheme in production. The upgrade also launches dynamic resharding, so NEAR Protocol can scale itself automatically 🧵
- What NEAR shipped last month: ✦ NEAR Intents crossed $24B+ in all-time volume. ✦ NEAR Protocol 2.13 upgrade brought quantum-safe signing, dynamic resharding, and more live to mainnet. ✦ NEAR staking for NEAR AI compute went live. ✦ IronClaw 1.0 went live. ✦ Confidential
- A stablecoin is a settlement instrument, useful for moving a dollar, and bounded to that. The agent economy will use stablecoins to settle, the same way it uses many chains to execute. This is why the coordination asset underneath especially matters. It is connected to the
