NEAR Protocol engagement report
@NEARProtocol - 1.8M followers on X
Measured over 65 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 360 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 65 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 109K times each, and 0.332% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.96% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 65 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video, 18% are part of a thread and 43% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 981 interactions, about 2.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
NEAR Protocol's engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 29% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.02%, NEAR Protocol sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Post-quantum migration runs on an industry clock. Custodians, wallets, tools, and agents all need time to move before quantum breaks today’s signatures. NEAR’s mainnet upgrade to quantum-safe accounts already starts that clock. https://t.co/8Mi2T0tC1d

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 360 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 65 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 109K times each, and 0.332% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.96% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is NEAR Protocol's engagement rate on X?
- NEAR Protocol (@NEARProtocol) has an engagement rate of 0.02%, based on the median interactions across 65 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,820,095 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.02%, NEAR Protocol sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NEARProtocol have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NEARProtocol post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.03 posts per day across the measured window.
