A lot of folks are quick to write off 2025 as a rough year for crypto. When you look purely at prices, yeah, that's a fair take.

But here's the thing—if you dig deeper, there's been some genuinely solid tech and infrastructure actually shipped.

NEAR intents stands out as arguably the most impressive infrastructure piece that landed this year. What makes it compelling is how it eliminates the friction of manual transaction steps, simplifying the whole user experience in a way that actually matters for mainstream adoption.

It's easy to fixate on price swings, but innovation at the protocol level is what builds the foundation for the next wave.

Prices have fallen to the dogs but infrastructure hasn't stopped, NEAR intents this wave definitely has some substance

ngl NEAR intents really have some substance, this is what should be done --- Is every price drop just bad news? Overthinking it, the real work is at the underlying level --- Mainstream perception is still too one-sided, unable to see the value of infrastructure --- To be honest, there are very few projects that can truly innovate in user experience, NEAR's move is still excellent --- People who watch the market every day will never see these things, which is a bit ironic --- Infrastructure is the key to victory or defeat; prices will eventually catch up --- Finally someone said it, 2025 is not that bad at all --- So, those who make products will always win, while traders will eventually be eliminated
