This past week. As many of you know, we had NEARCON some incredible talks from the best of the best to NF in the near ecosystem, including Illia, Alex Shevchenko, George Zeng Bowen Wang, Sal from sovereign and right after NEARCON Illia presented the keynote at the Open AI summit. We have lots of talks coming on to the YouTube channel from NEARCON. Stay on the lookout for them as they pop up in the next couple of days. First up in our news, IronClaw is ranked in the top ten of Product Hunt and Rising Fast. If you want to help the NEAR ecosystem become more relevant in existing AI communities, then make an account with X, GitHub or email and upvote Iron Claw. With your support, we can definitely break the top five. Now let's talk a little bit about what was released at NEARCON. nearr.com for starters. Check it out. It's beautiful. It's also just the beginning. One single place to swap with. So much more coming. Trading rewards, virtual bank accounts, debit cards and AI financial advisors. The NEAR and Defuse Labs teams really cooked on this one. Next up is Iron Claw. It's live and arguably one of the most underrated agent plays in the market today. If you're actually playing with Iron Claw, stay on the lookout for the first Iron Claw meetups that will be coming from the NEAR Legion, along with city nodes in the coming months. As a reminder, you can set up Iron Claw today for free to just get started and familiar. It's still early days for that product. Also, in case you missed it, in the Legion chat, we dropped the first ever near book featuring a collection of talks from Illia, Bowen, George and many others. This book will be hitting the NEAR Merch store and Amazon in the coming weeks. A second book will be coming out focused exclusively on the talks at this year's NEARCON. turning now to our AI news, there's really just one story worth sharing. Jack Dorsey has laid off 40% of the workforce at Blocks. He's direct about why getting ahead of AI automation and on the news his company pumped significantly on the market. Folks, this is real and this is happening. It's time to lock in, download and deploy Iron Claw. Begin using AI before it's too late, and join the NEAR ecosystem to find NEARVANA with the rest of the NEAR Legion. While everyone else sits around and gets automated away, stick around. We'll do this all again real soon.","transcript_synced_at":"2026-11-03T04:39:32.792Z","segments":[{"start_seconds":0,"text":"Good morning, Legion.
