NEXT VIDEO: Running a @NEARProtocol Validator kdragon and my upcoming hackathon submission(s) 👀

Hardware and uptime are the hidden costs most people skip. Delegating gets you the yield without the ops work, though the math still depends on stake size. Which NEAR-built apps grew revenue fastest this week, ranked here: x.com/HYPERDailyTK/s…

I ran a @NEARProtocol node at home for nearly two weeks.

Then I checked what a validator seat actually costs.

About 11,000 NEAR right now. Call it $42,000.

To earn roughly $2-4k a year, before power and internet.

And you can earn almost the same rate from your phone, ardware.

Here's what running one actually takes 👇

Numbers move: the seat price changes every epoch (9,300-11,300 NEAR this week), and at ~5% a seat earns closer to $2k/year than the $2-4k I said.
Live figures: nearblocks.io/validators
Make sure you check latest epoch numbers! Thanks

One thing from the video: check the drive.

NEAR recommends 2-3TB minimum for a validator.

Mine is 1TB and testnet alone pulled 160GB in the first 10 days, without even syncing a full shard.

Spec 4TB or 8TB at checkout. @ilblackdragon @mert

I gave 8 AI employees a task (@OwnXOfficial Next Team) and left them running overnight - then I benchmarked them: Hermes by @NousResearch vs @zeroclawlabs

One box on my desk. No cloud, no API keys, no per-token bill.

Then they wrote the benchmark report about themselves, ve before it goes live on my blog

Same eight deliverables, two agent frameworks, graded by a script.

19 minutes vs 68.
8/8 deliverables vs 6/8.
On 4-12x fewer tokens.

The lesson I didn't expect: give anything that touches numbers a code tool. Without Python an 80 row sales report failed every time on both. With Python, both were perfect.

K3.1 Pro works directly in the tools used by the 3D modeling and game industries - Blender, Unreal Engine, Godot, and CAD.
On BenchCAD, which tests 3D reconstruction from multi-view renderings through CAD code generation, it scores 92.7% with tools, approaching Claude Opus 5.5 (95.9%).
K3.1 Pro can deliver a fairly complete project, from asset construction to scene assembly, animation, and rendering.
