This week on NDNA:

• Why Intear Wallet and SurgeSwap might be the future of Web3 UX — by not making it feel like Web3.

• A sharp take on the Roman Storm trial and why developers need to rethink privacy as a default, not an add-on.

• The role of better tooling — not just for faster development, but for enabling new classes of products.

Plus: a call to action for NEAR developers to make privacy standardized in SDKs, not just left to the advanced devs.

If you care about UX, developer empowerment, and privacy by design — hit play.

NEAR has quietly built one of the most developer-ready stacks for AI-native applications—TEEs, intent-based UX, yield/resume smart contracts. But where are the flagship products? In this episode, we unpack why NEAR’s AI and agentic tooling is far ahead of the market, how it aligns with regulatory tailwinds, and what needs to happen to shift from technical potential to product reality.

Featuring examples like Rhea Finance’s onchain AI agent and NEAR Intents’ 24M volume day, this is the start of a weekly deep dive into the infrastructure shaping the future of open, user-owned AI.
