AI Evaluation Notes

The Nightshade 2.0 upgrade, a key advancement in NEAR Protocol's sharding roadmap, launched on Mainnet in August 2024, which aligns with the predicted timeframe of 'around Q4 2024 or Q1 2025'. Following this, NEAR Protocol reportedly experienced an 'initial surge' and 'strong Q4 gains' in Q4 2024. However, a sustained 'soar' as implied by the prediction was not evident in the long term, as the current price of NEAR Protocol is $1.66, which is lower than its price of $3.65 on January 1, 2024.
