NEAR co-founder Illia said in a post on X that the number of both new and existing developers in the NEAR ecosystem has risen noticeably over the past few weeks. He said that as barriers to building have fallen, the main question is shifting away from how to build and toward what to build and how to get distribution. Illia also listed several areas he sees as possible directions for builders, including a verifiable-reasoning AI Tamagotchi based on NEAR AI, a universal checkout component that supports any wallet and onchain payments, an AI encyclopedia tied to prediction markets, a private over-the-counter marketplace built on NEAR Intents, liquidation-avoiding position management, private code review, delta-neutral strategies, and private copy trading. On distribution, he suggested that developers use NEAR Legion, Aurora Intent Connect, cross-community promotion, Product Hunt, and X.
