“The NEAR protocol is open source. Anyone can contribute to the NEAR protocol and build on it. If you think of it as a picture, you’d have the NEAR protocol that is in the center of that. And then on the NEAR protocol, you have projects such as Aurora, which is our EVM, you have Octopus Network, which is actually for creating NFTs so on and so forth. And on that infrastructure, you can build a lot of different projects, whether it’s DeFi projects or NFTs, or DAOs. That’s the landscape of what’s being built on the protocol.”
“We have different programs. It depends what people are building and what they’re looking for. But you can come to the foundation directly for having grants allocation. It’s really looking at what are the pieces of the infrastructure that are being built on the NEAR protocol. We have ecosystem funds and regional funds which are more specialized. So as a foundation, we can help you direct to these funds.”
“Look, it’s not the first one (and) not the last one. NEAR was built in 2018. So, at the bottom of the last bear market. It is built by builders for builders. So that’s the ethos of what we’re what we’re building. The other thing I would say is that, yes, it’s a bear market if you look at price, but if you look at actually the amount of talent that’s coming through, if you look at the amount of capital that’s available to build, if you look at the projects that are being built, there is a lot of activity that’s happening.”
“Thanks for asking. I still see that the crypto space feels very intimidating, right? Can I get in? Do I know? Do I understand? Here’s the reality. Everybody’s trying to figure it out. And so, I think the first important thing is to understand to have the confidence like, yes, it’s fine. I don’t understand. But actually, nobody really fully understands 100% of what everything is happening in that market. And I’m talking about confidence, because very often, what you see in particular in women is this lack of confidence. Can I do it?”
“Armoured Kingdom is fascinating, backed by Mila Kunis. It is really interesting in terms of profile. Also, how she’s thinking. For example, rethinking, fandom, right? And what does it mean to think through fandom? The fact that NEAR has been chosen as an underlying protocol for Armoured Kingdom is great. It’s a huge privilege. It’s been chosen, because fundamental to NEAR protocol’s usability.”
“I would backtrack, what is an NFT? It’s like participating in a club. It’s being part of a group of people who actually think alike and therefore have like an affinity for something. To me, that’s the premise of an NFT. The lens you applied on, financial, economic return, I think if people do that it’s at their own risk.”
