Spaceport - Your ticket into the NEARverse!

Hi NEAR Fam!

Let me first introduce myself - my name is Dima, and I’m the project manager at Spaceport Labs

Also, here is our team:
Alina - CEO @Primaveralina
Igor - CTO
Valerii CPO
Michael - Master of Coin / Founder @Ozymandius
Nice to meet ya all!

So, our idea is to build a project, that will make our ecosystem more accessible to both new and established users.
Now, let me describe what we do

The promise of Web3.0 is our main point of admiration: A new era of the internet which holds the promise of bringing data, information, communication, and interaction onto a new level. We strongly believe that realizing the promise of Web3 lies in making this version of the internet easy to use and accessible - in short, mass adoption is a matter of getting every individual to understand and participate in a revolutionary new version of the internet that gives them ownership of their data, value and identity.

As pioneers of this new era for the internet, our job is to facilitate adoption such that those familiar with the internet can easily make the leap into a better future - in a way that is easy, painless, and intuitive.

For many L1 Ecosystems, the Holy Grail of success is to onboard the first billion users into the internet of value. Originally this referred to active users purchasing or selling ecosystem tokens like ERC-20, NEP-141 fungible token, but has since grown to involve participation in NFT marketplaces, governance projects, community-managed metaverses, DeFi protocols, and Play-to-Earn Games.

Spaceport’s target is to provide an easy and natural gateway for crypto-newbies into all of the best opportunities offered by the world of Web3.

What it does

The Spaceport Docking Station is a novel custodial on-ramp and off-ramp for the global market of retail users and institutional investors, looking for exposure into the NEAR Ecosystem.

Spaceport operates as a middle-way custodian, offering newcomers to the NEAR Ecosystem the best of both worlds:

1. custody and security in trading, staking, and interacting with NEAR dApps,

2. the unique capacity to ‘undock’ or ‘re-dock’ their assets into an account that only they control.

The platform is designed, first and foremost, to allow easy access into the World of dAapps on NEAR for non-crypto natives. Users can connect their bank account, credit card, or debit card, exchange their fiat into crypto, and then actively trade or swap across the suite of NEP-141 tokens featured on NEAR, Aurora, or Octopus Network.

Beyond the trading of native NEAR Assets, Spaceport also provides staking infrastructure of NEAR and other NEP-141 tokens, sending and receiving of NEAR and all other native tokens, as well as direct integrations with certain dApps on NEAR (such as games, metaverses, and NFT marketplaces).

In this sense, Spaceport is a simple and easy-to-use on-ramp for users to engage with the Ecosystem - an on-ramp that doesn’t require seed phrase management, or even gas fees!

About the progress
Now, we take part in the METABUILD hackathon. You can find information and demo of our project here
Feel free to present your like to us or share your feedback

Also, few more links:

1. You can find docs here
2. Here you can find and test what’ve done
3. Speach or our CEO on NEARcon 2022

And it’d be great to see your feedback here!

Stay tuned, The future is near!

Best of luck Spacesport All efforts in onboarding non-crypto natives to the ecosystem are always appreciated!
