“Everyone talks about agents trading. I think this is the least interesting of what’s possible.” -Illia 😀

Autonomous trading agents share the same data. They don’t have an edge.

Agents don’t replace the belief. They help you execute it. 😄

Software is changing. So is the infrastructure behind it.

Today is the first session of the NEAR India bi-weekly series:

Software 2.0 & Confidential AI Infrastructure [Streaming today]

We’ll unpack:
✦ What Software 2.0 means for how we build
✦ How Confidential AI enables privacy-preserving computation

Namespaces will matter more as agents, apps, and communities scale.

A new House of Stake proposal puts governance of NEAR’s Top-Level Account roots in the hands of tokenholders while keeping product operations separate.
