04 · exact additive research priority

What does the evidence say about NEAR Protocol?

NEAR Protocol scores 64.3 out of 100 inside AI, ranked 5 of 83 rated coins on 91% evidence. The four displayed point contributions add exactly to the total; missing evidence pulls only the affected factor toward neutral and lowers its stated coverage. It ranks research attention within one theme, never portfolio action, and it is not comparable across themes.

No valuation section exists on this page, for any coin. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a token, and historical market capitalisation is not held at all — only a dated current snapshot — so no ten-year valuation band can be built honestly. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, the yield against that dated snapshot is shown above instead.

Methodology · boundaries make the answer useful

What can make this page misleading?

This page names 5 ways its own evidence about NEAR Protocol can mislead, all listed below. The largest is that crypto network activity is not company earnings: protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders. Price runs through 2026-07-31; market capitalisation is a separate snapshot dated 2026-07-04.

Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
Market capitalisation is a dated snapshot, not a point-in-time historical supply series, so yields computed against it inherit that lag.
No valuation band exists for any coin: historical market capitalisation is not held at all.
Funding rates, open interest, liquidations, exchange flows, unlock schedules and developer activity are not held and are not inferred.
The research score is relative to this coin's own theme only. It is not comparable across themes and is not an entry signal.

Questions the page should answer directly

Crypto analysis FAQs

These 7 answers cover the questions this page can settle from data it holds — what the category is, how the score is built, what the coverage gaps are, and what would change the read. Every answer below is also present in the page’s FAQ schema and in its plain-text rendition. None of them is a recommendation.

What is NEAR Protocol (NEAR)?

NEAR Protocol is a AI cryptocurrency tracked here by price, market capitalisation and strength against Bitcoin, with on-chain activity from protocol + chain TVL. It is one of 110 AI coins on this site. Readings are as of 2026-07-31.

What is the market cap of NEAR Protocol?

NEAR Protocol's market capitalisation is $2.6B, ranking it 37 in the top-1,000 crypto universe. That figure is a dated snapshot from 2026-07-04, refreshed separately from the daily price series, so it can lag the price shown above.

Is NEAR Protocol beating Bitcoin?

NEAR Protocol is +48.3% against Bitcoin over 90 days, and its own theme, AI, is +12.1% over 13 weeks. It trades above its 200-day average as of 2026-07-31.

Does NEAR Protocol have a P/E ratio?

No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.

What is NEAR Protocol's research score?

64.3/100 within AI, ranked 5 of 83 rated AI coins, on 91% evidence: 30.4 + 12.6 + 8.8 + 12.5 = 64.3. It is labelled “Constructive watch · market gate closed”. The score ranks research attention inside one theme, never portfolio action.

How much NEAR Protocol history does this page show?

Five years of weekly closes where they exist, plus 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity for the metrics NEAR Protocol actually publishes. Here that is network fees, protocol revenue, total value locked.

Does NEAR Protocol generate network fees?

NEAR Protocol's trailing twelve-month network fees is $1.9M, down 69% on the year-earlier period. Network activity is not token-holder earnings: whether it accrues to the token depends on the protocol's own burn, buyback and distribution rules.
