About this video

Get up to speed on everything that happened in the NEAR ecosystem during the first month of the new year 2022.

The last 12 months was an incredible year for the NEAR community. The ecosystem grew at a phenomenal clip, bringing in new developers, projects and users. The NEAR Protocol was also successfully upgraded to Phase 0 of Simple Nightshade, making the blockchain faster and more robust, while keeping it carbon neutral.

“At NEAR, we believe in a world where people can control their assets, their data, and their power of governance,” said Marieke Flament, NEAR Foundation’s CEO.

That vision is not only shared by everyone at NEAR Foundation, but the wider community, too. That’s why this month’s town hall was all about championing the voices and ideas from the wider ecosystem.

Team members from the Open Forest Protocol and Sankore took center stage to discuss their progress and why they chose to build on NEAR.

NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin closed the Town Hall with an update on the MetaBUILD hackathon.
