Developer experience to build on NEAR has just leveled up! It is a solid production grade development environment that takes developers from zero to hero in 60 seconds
My AI agent and I have built DNS resolver via blockchain.
http://neardns.near is available if you run near-dns locally or use my temporary public DNS server 185.149.40.161 in your network settings.
For those of you who are still not on NEAR-DNS, you can get to the landing page by IP address: http://185.149.40.161
It is a nice Friday hackathon project. Keep BUIDLing on @nearprotocol 🧵👇
@MaksimA30@NEARDevHub@HassanRezkHabib Most developers are not using Rust at all, and it’s even scary for them to start learning it. Therefore, a better approach would be to support all standard languages for writing smart contracts.
Sometimes it all starts with something small.
A quick QR scan.
A random encounter with NEAR at a Rust conference.
It seems small, yet in ecosystems like NEAR even small steps can set bigger movements in motion … 🧵
As NEAR becoming Universal Liquidity Layer - building on NEAR means you get access to all assets and all users across web3 and new users via PassKey/FastAuth.
There is no reason to limit your target audience when you can access everyone.

🏆 Huge thanks to Yowl (https://t.co/yA81F1rFm2), SingleAccretion (https://t.co/i5z3em1IPs) & runtimelab/NativeAOTLLVM contributors for making C# executables possible on blockchain.
🚀 Experimental C#/.NET SDK for NEAR is here!
Built with **NativeAOTLLVM** for clean WASM.
"Hello World": **~700 KB** (contract + full .NET runtime, no reflection/codegen).
Live 👉 [https://t.co/9G4mjnNyRC]
Future versions will be **smaller & faster**:
IO, networking & other OS-dependent packages will be **mocked**, optimizing the runtime specifically for blockchain execution.
This makes C# smart contracts more lightweight.
@ilblackdragon@zarah_khaleel The Go SDK has the same performance as the Rust SDK because it uses @TinyGolang under the hood, which compiles the code to native-like bytecode that is then transformed into a lightweight WASM file.
🚀 Introducing the experimental Swift SDK for NEAR smart contracts!
Now live at 👉 https://t.co/1408mhM5IB
Built with @swiftwasm and @SwiftLang for real cross-platform WebAssembly support.
Our "Hello World" contract compiles down to just 588 bytes! 🧵
Big thanks to @MaxDesiatov and the awesome contributors behind https://t.co/me6aPmCTKw
