Been checking out HOT, this token in the NEAR ecosystem that's been gaining traction on Telegram lately. What's interesting is it actually lets you do real transactions on-chain, play games, and pay for transfers thanks to those meta transactions. Pretty different from most tokens out there.

So if you want to try NEAR mining through HOT, the process is straightforward. You create a wallet, claim your first free HOTs, and boom - mining starts automatically. The whole thing keeps going until your storage maxes out, which is a neat mechanic. Basically you're earning HOT just by having the wallet active.

The cool part? It's one of the first tokens that actually has native L1 blockchain functionality built in. Not just another token on a chain, but actually integrated into how NEAR works. If you're into mining or just want to explore what's happening in the NEAR ecosystem, this is worth paying attention to. The whole setup is designed to be accessible - claim, store, mine. Simple as that.
