NEAR rallies 24% after AI utility expands across 43 models – Is rally built to last?
NEAR has emerged as the top-performing AI crypto token, surging 24.52% as activity expanded across the trading markets and its confidential infrastructure. Reportedly, the confidential TVL recently surpassed $70 million, triggering the networks first milestone snapshot under its incentive program. Notably, the program allocated 333,333 milestone tokens, reinforcing participation surrounding the Confidential Intents ecosystem. Accordingly, these tokens are to remain locked until NEARs three-day volume-weighted average price reaches at least $3.33. Importantly, NEAR‘s price climbed beyond the program’s $3.33 threshold during the expansion. However, eligibility requires its three-day volume-weighted average price to remain at least $3.33 before unlocking. Beyond incentives, the protocols Confidential Intents supported private execution across more than 30 connected blockchains. Additionally, NEAR had also linked Intents with autonomous-agent infrastructure for asset transfers and cross-chain payments. Furthermore, the tokens AI utility expanded further through staking-based computing credits covering 43 AI models. Meanwhile, spot volume also surged 131.81% to $1.63 billion, suggesting a broader market participation behind the most recent price increase.
