✍️ The Great Scholar's Debate on @NEARProtocol's Rebirth from the Ashes (AI + King of Intent) The main point is to cx your own position, the shout is a bit hollow, bring some data. Although most data exists when it "drops", it can become a "useful" tool for everyone when it rises 🔧. 🌟 On the AI front: AI integration drives ecological expansion and valuation enhancement. The founder of NEAR Protocol, @ilblackdragon, is a co-author of the Transformer paper, which injects deep AI genes into the platform. So when you talk about AI, $NEAR is an unavoidable topic, which is also a reason why everyone could fomo to the top during last year's AI craze. In 2025, NEAR focuses on AI agents and autonomous system development, such as the Shade Agent Sandbox toolkit, allowing developers to deploy AI agents for DeFi, oracles, and DAO automation. NEAR's AI roadmap emphasizes cross-chain expansion and scalability, aiming to build the largest open-source AI model. 🌟 On the ZK front: Zero-knowledge proofs enhance privacy and cross-chain capabilities. EAR's progress in zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) significantly enhances its privacy and efficiency. The platform has integrated ZK SDK, providing compilers, code libraries, and debugging tools to facilitate developers in building ZK applications. Recently, due to the surge in $ZEC prices, this feature was discovered by the "Great Scholar", who began the debate!!! NEAR Protocol helps ZEC (Zcash) achieve cross-chain transfers through its NEAR Intents protocol (a cross-chain and chain abstraction solution). Weekly revenue: approximately $1.7M from Intents fees, accounting for 47% of the cross-chain market share. Among them, ZEC-related transactions (such as Zashi Swaps) processed $65M in volume, directly contributing part of the fees. 🌟 Expectations for the fundamentals ...
