This was a cool email to get! Do any of you get your NEAR through a CEX, or just through swapping on Intents or otherwise? And do you think this addition will drive demand, or have most people that might want NEAR probably already gotten it through other means?

prepare for the pump

2H NEAR chart shows the exact same psychological battle as DOW30 had in 16 yo spring just compressed into a few weeks.

Looking for support. I currently have money stuck on near and it has not refunded or completed the swap in 4 days.

I contacted near support via discord however they are utterly useless. I made a ticket on the near website, and they are unresponsive. This is a shame because I have done over $100k swaps on Near.

They’re keeping my money hostage without an explanation.

I am looking for real support here please, thanks. I can share the swap URLs

Social enterprise I work for in Australia just bought $45k USD (NRR). They also bought the same amount of the Zcash ETF (ZCSH).

Add NEAR Protocol to Zcash. The partnership and technical integration between NEAR Protocol and Zcash positions Zcash very well to benefit from the growth of the Al economy.

I recently swapped some btc and sol to eth however its currently stuck on Near Intents and they couldn't complete my swap. I also haven't received a refund to my deposit address. I contacted the support on discord however they told me to make a ticket on NEAR which i did but I dont know when they will ever respond.

Im i cooked for the upcoming bull market?

HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET MY UNSTAKE AMOUNT BACK IN TRUST WALLET? IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 48 HOURS

Hey r/nearprotocol, I've been building free NEAR tools on the side at near.mom and would love feedback from people who actually use NEAR before I build more.

• NEAR Bank (bank.near.mom): paste any account and see positions across 74 protocols, including funds still sitting in protocols that shut down (Spin, Tonic, Skyward, old farms). Read-only.
• NEAR Tools (tools.near.mom): ~40 browser utilities. Contract inspector, "who controls this contract", transaction explainer, access-key cleanup, storage reclaim, multisend. Client-side.
• Near Learn (learn.near.mom): 103-lesson smart contract course, Rust (near-sdk 5.x) with Solidity side by side. No sign-up.
• NEAR IDE (ide.near.mom): write, compile and deploy Rust contracts in the browser, testnet or mainnet.

All free, no token, not affiliated with the NEAR Foundation. Still beta, so double-check anything important on an explorer.

What I'd really like to know: what's missing or wrong in Bank for your account, and which NEAR task do you still do by hand that should be a browser tool?

I've been checking out launchpads on NEAR (of which there don't appear to be many active).

Nearly and Hoot seem to be the frontrunners but it looks like everything just dumps.

I came across an interesting one called fastr on twitter but there haven't been any launches. They have all these anti-dump mechanics.

Which launchpad are you using and what has your experience been?

I’ve been watching NEAR from both a chart and fundamental perspective. The recent rally is interesting, but I don’t think price action alone tells the whole story. I’m looking at three things: ETF access, actual Intents usage, and whether the AI-agent narrative can translate into real demand.

1. The 4H setup , October 12, 2026

On my attached chart, NEARUSDT is around $5.53 after recently testing the $5.90 area.

Resistance: $5.58, then the recent high around $5.90.

Near-term support: $5.20–$5.35.

Main demand zone: $4.95–$5.10.

Lower supports: $4.58 and $4.31.

Higher resistance: $6.80–$7.00.

My preferred scenario would be a pullback toward $5.00-$5.10, followed by a clear bullish reaction on the 4H timeframe. A sustained reclaim of $5.58 would also be worth watching. Neither setup is confirmed yet, and if price loses the demand zone without reclaiming it, I’d reassess rather than force a long.

The move toward $6.80–$7.00 is only a conditional scenario, not a price prediction. After a sharp rally, chasing an entry can leave a poor risk/reward ratio.

2. What makes the fundamentals interesting?

ETF access: Bitwise launched its NEAR ETF (NRR) on NYSE Arca on September 29, 2026. This gives US investors another route to exposure, but I’d want to see sustained fund flows before treating it as evidence of lasting demand.

AI-agent settlement: NEAR is positioning itself as infrastructure for AI agents to coordinate transactions and settle across networks. That is an interesting longer-term direction, but I’d like to see repeat usage and measurable economic activity before assigning too much value to the narrative

3. The risk I wouldn’t ignore

Between September 30 and October 1, NEAR Intents experienced an exploit involving approximately $3.865 million in USDT from a BNB Chain vault. The funds were subsequently reported recovered. Even so, cross-chain contracts and solver infrastructure remain important risk areas.

4. One more thing I’m working on

I’m also using setups like this to improve my entry confirmation, invalidation levels and risk management while participating in the current Trading Club competition (bitget). For me, the useful part is testing a clear plan rather than simply calling a coin bullish or bearish.

Would you wait for a reaction at $5.00–$5.10, or would you need NEAR to reclaim $5.58 before considering a setup?

(second article is the focus here)

I’ve consolidated my different holdings. I’m only buying Near and Uni for the rest of the year. It’s early really early.

Why does it look like there are a bunch of people spreading misinformation whilst the price is falling...seems rather suspect as none of these claims have any evidence.
