Proud of what Node Studio Cohort 1 achieved over the past year 🌐
What started as an effort to make validator infrastructure more accessible became a network of operators actively supporting @NEARProtocol.
🔹55 validators.
🔹5.6M $NEAR across the cohort.
🔹1 full year of operations.
Built with @NEARProtocol, @NEARFoundation and @Openmesh_Network to make validator infrastructure more accessible.
Here’s what this year looked like ⬇️

Meta Pool Improvement Proposal 32 🗳️
🔹Additional Buyback-and-Burn Program
The proposal aims to strengthen mpDAO value accrual, reduce total supply, and improve market liquidity.
Here's what's in the proposal 🧵
Liquidity and allocation:
• The mpDAO/USDT AMM pool moves from Ethereum to NEAR.
• Estimated ~$4k/month to buyback-and-distribute.
• Estimated ~$4k/month to buyback-and-burn.
• Estimated ~$2k/month to buyback-and-burn locked positions.
Unchanged:
• The existing buyback-and-distribute program for active voters (as defined in MPIP-20 and continued by MPIP-24).
• The 250M scheduled burn proceeds as planned.

NEAR’s Q3 report starts to quantify early demand for private inference:
→ 750K+ NEAR staked for confidential inference in the program’s first quarter, in exchange for recurring compute credits
→ 139B+ inference tokens processed through OpenRouter in under three months since launch
SVRN CEO @sal_ternullo on why private inference will quickly become a requirement for companies:
MPIP-31 is now open for voting 🗳️
The proposal aims to simplify Meta Pool governance by deprecating two underused features:
🔹Delegated Voting
🔹Vote Expiration Cycles
Voting closes on Oct 27, 4 PM UTC.
Here's what would change, and what wouldn't 🧵
Vote Expiration automatically removed old voting positions.
What would change:
• Automatic expiration is disabled.
• Cycle-based renewal windows are removed.
• Your existing positions stay active until you change or remove them.
What stays the same:
• mpDAO locking and voting power.
• Direct voting on validators, grants and memes.
• Core Vote-to-Earn mechanics.
• mpDAO token economics or supply.
Your vote shapes Meta Pool governance.
Cast it before Oct 27 👇

Meta Pool started with a simple question in the @NEARProtocol Discord: who's running a node from Latin America?
That's how our co-founders, Claudio and @lucio_tato, met, chatting in English until they realized they both spoke Spanish.
