How the network actually works.
Builders make their work visible. Projects put work in front of people. Both sides find each other.
Quick walkthrough of what that looks like.
3 days left to submit to the NEAR Hackathon ⏳
Still figuring out what to build, which track to enter, or who to build with? We put together a guide to help you get started.
And, of course, build what you can instead of sitting on the sidelines 💯
@neverknower_dev the tee answers problem three, nobody has to approve you to run code in one, which is the whole gatekeeper issue with chainlink. but it doesn’t touch problem four. x can still revoke the key the way they did to kaito and cookie in january. what’s the fallback when that happens?
@Roan0i reading both numbers at the same block height so nothing in flight skews it is what makes this checkable rather than just reported. does the checker read at current block or a lagged one?
@emer__eth@NEARProtocol the rest of this track bounds what the agent can spend. you’re on the human not being able to read what they’re signing, which is the harder half. who checks the reviewer?
NEAR Protocol development is growing...
According to data from @chainspect_app, @NEARProtocol has seen some 675 developer commits in the past 30 days - up +3.85% in the period.
It ranks as the #6 most developed network in the period by number of developers, outpaced on that metric only by the likes of @Ethereum, @Cardano and @Hedera.
No team? No ideas? Feel like there isn’t enough time?
NEAR Builders just dropped a NEAR Hackathon in 3 days guide to fix that: take an idea from @ilblackdragon, use the starting prompts from @NEARDevHub, join the @NearBuilders and find teammates.

The NEAR community can vote for your project. Now give them a reason to do so
For example, promise to ship something new if your project gets 1,000,000 votes, which could help your project stay on the community's radar after the hackathon
After all, Attention Is All You Need
