## @the_LisaLoveCat (SpicyMangos 🌶️) · 10-01 22:00 · ♥26 ↻7 💬6 Did you know NEAR Protocol once had an official mascot named NearKat?
It was a cute, furry, bright-eyed meerkat ☺️💚
Then, in 2021, NearKat disappeared with NEAR’s rebrand 😱— BUT the community never forgot!
NEAR enthusiasts kept with the nostalgia, continuing to embrace the NearKat lore and the belief that it was the true mascot of NEAR.
We'd always see it mentioned and talked about in forums and crypto Twitter, etc, and it kind of became a cult classic within the NEAR community. Nearkat lived on in the degen's hearts 😅💚
Now, in 2026, with the explosion of the Stonk ecosystem, and the ability to pair meme coins with crypto assets, among others, we have the RE-birth and explosion of the solana:6UtY9iTZMQQ5QZVrbzFnNaJntV7oySm9k97mvwnuZcxr token, which yields NEAR just by holding🔥
In addition, NEAR has been ON FIRE these past couple months, up ~180%, essentially outperforming all other top 20 Alt coins over the same period.
A signal for what's to come if this Bull market really pops off...
Finally, I want to note a small elephant in the room, there was a very small exploit a couple days ago of 3.8m. It's important to know this was on a bridge to NEAR, and not NEAR itself.
3.8m is TINY for a bridge exploit, and it was patched in only 1 hour time. Buy the blood.
I fully believe this is a perfect time to add NEAR, as well as the huge upside on the meme coin solana:6UtY9iTZMQQ5QZVrbzFnNaJntV7oySm9k97mvwnuZcxr , if you are in fact betting on the Bull to continue much higherrr, as I am. 💚💚💚✊🔥 https://x.com/the_LisaLoveCat/status/2105780020161749462
