NEAR Protocol just dropped a limited-time staking opportunity worth paying attention to.

The numbers: 11% annual yield on allocations up to 2,700 NEAR per participant. There's a 14-day lock period, and the window runs from December 11th through December 25th, 2025.

Catch? First come, first served. They're capping total allocations at 80,600 NEAR across all participants.

For anyone sitting on idle NEAR tokens, this beats most standard staking rates by a decent margin. The two-week commitment isn't crazy long either.

Just remember the allocation cap means early movers get priority. If you're interested, probably don't sleep on this one.
