In the evolution of blockchain technology, truly groundbreaking innovations often point to a common feature - lowering the barriers to use and enhancing execution efficiency. NEAR's newly launched Shade Agents represent such a revolutionary technological paradigm.
Redefinition of technological value
The core breakthrough of Shade Agents lies in thoroughly addressing the three core issues of decentralized AI agents: security, verifiability, and autonomy. By combining innovations in smart contracts with trusted execution environments (TEE), Shade Agents achieve a qualitative leap at the technical level.
Particularly noteworthy is the implementation of its Chain Signatures technology. This innovation allows multiple working nodes to jointly manage the same key, fundamentally eliminating the single point of failure risk in traditional TEE solutions. This decentralized key management mechanism provides a solid security foundation for large-scale asset management.

In the wave of differentiation in the crypto market in 2024, MANTRA (OM) stood out with an amazing performance of more than 6418% in the whole year, becoming the leader in the real-world asset tokenization (RWA) track. This surge is not accidental. Behind it is MANTRA's in-depth layout in the Middle East market, technological innovation and compliance capabilities, which also reflects the huge potential of the trillion-level RWA market.

1. Middle East Market: Leveraging $1 billion in asset tokenization
MANTRA has made the Middle East its strategic focus and has reached a cooperation with Dubai real estate giant DAMAC Group, planning to tokenize at least $1 billion of the latter's assets in the UAE, covering real estate, hospitality and data center sectors. This cooperation is not only a recognition of blockchain technology by traditional capital in the Middle East, but also marks RWA's move from "proof of concept" to large-scale application. Previously, MANTRA has cooperated with MAG Property Development to tokenize $500 million in real estate assets, and signed a memorandum with Zand Bank, a digital bank authorized by the UAE Central Bank, to build a compliance framework.

I. Project Positioning: A Cross-Boundary Experiment of AI and MEME
Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) is a meme token based on the Solana chain, but its core goal is not mere speculation; it aims to build a decentralized community to promote research, education, and collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI). The project emphasizes lowering the technical threshold through AI popularization, facilitating interaction between ordinary users and AI technology, such as providing a real-time interaction platform for multiple AI chatbots to collaborate on complex tasks.
Although classified as a MEME coin, ACT's uniqueness lies in its 'infrastructure-type' positioning. The project integrates decentralized governance, AI technology integration, and community-driven ecosystem building, attempting to explore practical scenarios for AI in the cryptocurrency field, such as developing a native framework that connects AI with cryptocurrency capabilities.

1. TrueFi: The 'pioneer' of unsecured lending and the casualty of the bear market.
As one of the earliest protocols exploring unsecured lending in the DeFi space, TrueFi once attracted the attention of institutional investors and retail participants with its innovative model. Its core mechanism is to provide unsecured loans to KYC-certified institutions through credit checks and community governance voting, while allowing users to deposit funds to earn returns. This model became a benchmark for the combination of traditional finance and on-chain credit during the bull market, attracting investments from top institutions like a16z and Alameda Research.
However, the long bear market that began in 2022 exposed TrueFi's fatal weakness: the high risk of unsecured loans. As crypto institutions faced a series of crises (such as the hack of Wintermute and defaults by BlockWater), TrueFi accumulated over $4 million in bad debts, accounting for 3.4% of its outstanding loans. Even more critically, its token TRU plummeted by 90%, with its market capitalization shrinking to less than $20 million, and market confidence nearly collapsed.

1. $NEAR: The infrastructure revolution for on-chain AI.
NEAR Protocol has become a benchmark for the integration of AI and blockchain due to its tech stack and founding background.
Technical Advantages: Native Account Abstraction (AA), complete sharding architecture, and chain abstraction technology support infinite scalability, providing a high-throughput, low-cost underlying environment for on-chain AI.
AI Layout: The NEAR.AI project, led by co-founder Alex, aims to open-source a 1.5 trillion parameter large model, combining privacy computing research (in collaboration with Nvidia) to capture the decentralized AI high ground.
Market Potential: Ranked second in development activity in 2024, with stable mainnet operation and sharding expansion to 8, its technical landing capability far exceeds that of similar projects.

1. The academic background and technical influence of NEAR's founders
One of NEAR's founders is one of the authors of the paper (Attention is All You Need), which proposed the Transformer architecture, becoming the core foundation of modern large language models (such as GPT, BERT, etc.). This academic background not only brings technical authority to NEAR but also provides a unique perspective and resources in the field of blockchain and AI integration. The founder's academic achievements lay a solid foundation for NEAR's technological innovation and ecosystem development.
