> **Visual Note:** A July 2026 update infographic for near.com highlighting that 69% of trades ran confidential, alongside key metrics: $5.5B+ total volume, $30M+ confidential TVL, 1M+ NEAR staked, and $10M+ perps volume. The post emphasizes near.com as a unified frontend where NEAR's swap, earn, perp, and staking services converge into one account, with confidentiality positioned as the default setting driving the platform's trading activity.  

> 
> "“Frontend” implies a layer on top of the system.
near.com is where all of NEAR converges into one account: swap, earn, perp, stake, in one place you actually use.

69% of its swap volume ran confidential in July. Confidentiality is the default."

> **Visual Note:** An infographic titled "Agentic enterprises are much faster, more efficient, and immensely smarter" illustrates the Dfinity/ICP concept of an "Agentic Enterprise" with a central "World Model" surrounded by Agents, sovereign SaaS apps, and user interactions (Ask, Instruct, Queries/Actions). The accompanying post humorously recounts a social media exchange where the author was "cornered" by Dfinity's CEO after underestimating ICP's roadmap, with critics noting the post missed ICP's on-chain AI inference capabilities highlighted in the diagram.  

> 
> "Help. The CEO of Dfinity replied to my February post and cornered me. My fatal mistake was not foreseeing ICP's roadmap for the next six months. Should I delete the account?

People keep replying "but NEAR has no on-chain inference." Correct, and that was the whole point."
