The surge of AI-related coins comes as the Nvidia GTC conference is going to kick off in San Jose on Monday, US Time.

Near Protocol (NEAR)

Near Protocol is another AI-related protocol that is taking off thanks to the Nvidia conference. The co-founder of NEAR Protocol, Illia Polosukhin is making an appearance at the conference for a panel discussion titled ‘Transforming AI.’

The discussion, which will focus on the novel transformer neural network architecture, features such illustrious industry figures like Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Essential AI, Ashish Vaswani and co-founder and CEO of Inceptive, Jakob Uszkoreit.

The crypto-AI community seems to eagerly await the panel discussion, with NEAR surging 142% in the past month, trading at USD $8.33 (AUD $12.69) at the time of writing.
