NEAR Protocol (NEAR) trades at $4.22, up 109.9% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $5.5B, the 21-largest in crypto. Over a year it is +31% (up), and it sits -79% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $178.7M, or 0.03x its market cap. On tradability, the book is busy enough that price moves stay relatively calm. Taken together, the overall heat score is 23 (COLD). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Market size
Large cap
A large-cap asset inside the top 50 (ranked #21)
Price swings

A wide daily range; the price can move sharply in a short time
Liquidity (24h volume)
Very high
Over $1B traded in a day — actively traded. Turnover against market cap is high too, so short-term money is moving in and out
Dilution risk
Mostly done (100% circulating)
Nearly the entire supply cap is already circulating, so little dilution pressure remains

Up over 1 year (+31%)

Overview What is NEAR Protocol
NEAR Protocol is the blockchain for AI. A high-performance, AI-native platform built to power the next generation of decentralized applications and intelligent agents. It provides the infrastructure AI needs to transact, operate, and interact across Web2 and Web3. NEAR combines three core elements: User-Owned AI, which ensures agents act in users’ best interests; Intents and Chain Abstraction, which eliminate blockchain complexity for seamless, goal-driven transactions across chains; and a sharded blockchain architecture that delivers the scalability, speed, and low-cost execution needed for real-world AI and Web3 use. This integrated stack makes NEAR the foundation for building secure, user-owned, AI-native applications at internet scale.

🔥
Turnover is fast
24-hour volume equals 35% of market cap. Trading is very active and short-term attention is concentrated here.
📈
Uptrend continuing
+80.3% over 7 days, +109.9% over 30. Both the short and medium term point up, and momentum is behind the move.
🏔️
Far below its all-time high
Trading -79% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Development is active
103 GitHub commits in the past four weeks (via CoinGecko). Steady development work supports the project's continuity.

The chain is heavily used
Recent chain fees run about $231,973 per day. Fees stand in for real usage, and this level points to an actively used chain.

Volume spikes NEAR traded far above its own baseline
24-hour volume ran 4.8x its 20-day median. Historically the next day's range widens in this state — but which way it goes is not readable from this.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
23
How the overall score is built: market gate 45 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 50 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 23. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Heat scoreMarket gate (shared by all assets)
2026-07-19dashed line = 502026-09-21
→ Over these 65 days heat peaked at 43 (2026-09-15) and bottomed at 15 (2026-08-15); it now stands at 23.
→ Over the same period the market gate moved between 42 and 80. The gate applies to every asset alike, so that much of the movement is not specific to this one.
The history is not a log of past scores. Each day is recomputed from that day's raw data using the current formula, so a change to the formula moves the whole line rather than creating a break in it. Collection began on 19 July 2026; nothing earlier can be reconstructed.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
45
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
100
→ An uptrend is holding. Momentum is on this asset's side.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
6
→ Little capital is locked relative to market cap, or the asset is outside TVL coverage.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → 103 code updates in the last four weeks; development is very active.
