The NEAR Protocol Future: Whiteboard Series with Illia Polosukhin

About this video

NEAR Protocol is built to scale to 1 Billion users in 5 years. How will we actually get there? NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin's solo Whiteboard Series session shares his vision for the NEAR ecosystem, unpacking each layer of the stack and outlining what we still need to build out.

NEAR was designed from day one to be simple, secure, and scalable. From the flexible account model and familiar coding languages to Proof-of-Stake and a sharding architecture that places zero burden on developers and users, Illia shows how each element interacts to support the best user developer experience in Web3: from the platform, to the ecosystem, to the applications, to user acquisition and ecosystem governance – and where we go from here.

For a clear mental model of NEAR Protocol, what sets the tech apart, and where we're heading as an ecosystem, check out the first-ever Whiteboard Series by NEAR and about NEAR.
