TREE NEWS reports: NEAR nearly doubled in a week and is up 178% since mid-August, with NEAR Intents now accounting for about 85% of protocol revenue after the fee switch activated in February 2026. Execution fees fell 83% since January 2025, from $120,000 to $20,000 weekly, while token burns dropped from 100,000 NEAR to 20,000. SwapKit drives 35% of Intents volume but 61% of fees, and NEAR cannot see which wallets the flow comes from.
NEAR Doubles in a Week as Intents Fees Drive 85% of Revenue
The striking detail is the mismatch between volume and fees: SwapKit generating 35% of Intents volume but 61% of fees suggests pricing power sits with a small set of routes rather than broad activity, while the inability to see originating wallets leaves the demand base opaque. Falling execution fees and burns alongside rising revenue point to a model where fee capture is consolidating even as unit costs drop. Whether that concentration persists — and whether the wallet-level blindness is a structural feature or a temporary gap — is the open question for anyone tracking how Intents revenue holds up.
