NEAR Ecosystem Infrastructure Updates - April 9, 2024

Captions as YouTube publishes them, usually machine-generated, so product and people names can be misheard.

1. 0:01

   yes I'll I'll share the slides I have them pulled up great and then uh if anybody needs to share their screen uh and take over I'll just hand them hand it over to them perfect thank you let me go ahead and pull the slides up now and then like I said I'll just give it like another maybe 30 seconds let people pull in all I think that's the other one let me share the right slide with

2. 0:38

   you and Marcus and vict I notic I don't know if you guys know but if you saw that the announcement went out about the infrastructure Comm I don't know if that's on today's agenda or not but it might be worth sure pointing to that or talking about sure oh thank you this wait the yeah yeah okay cool this is the one I appreciate it big thank you all right cool uh you can go ahead and

3. 1:04

   get started just wanted to make sure some people uh came in um so yeah thank you all for being here uh at another near ecosystem infrastructure monthly call uh where we just want to make sure we kind of touch on what's going on uh regarding you know technical aspects and infrastructure in the new ecosystem any updates anything that uh people should be cognizant of let's go ahead and get the slide uh the deck up um we have uh an agenda today that's going to cover

4. 1:28

   quite a bit of um topics uh Vic is going to lead us with an update uh Conrad's going to intro with some opening notes uh we'll get some updates from a few Partners around various things uh rpcs Oracles in um you know indexers we try to aim to touch on these types of topics wallets Etc uh and then we will have an open discussion for anybody that's in in the zoom call uh it's it's a live Q&A we want to make sure that we have our priority straight on NF side uh for for 2024 anything that maybe we're missing in we need to focus

5. 2:00

   on um and then you know we want to make sure that we're focusing on top of mind um priorities for developers Builders Etc and then at the end we have an NPS survey we want to also hear your feedback directly um in written format just so we can make sure we track kind of the sentiment uh as time goes on just to make sure again we're focused on the right things so I will go ahead and actually link the zoom call in the YouTube in case you missed it on the Luma if you do want to get involved in

6. 2:24

   section 4 um but in the meantime I'll go ahead and hand it over to Conrad if he's here to open up yeah I see conad isn't here so Jim is ready with his updates so Jim will take over until Conrad joins other I'll try to fill in for Contra so Jim do you mind starting yeah did did he have a presentation or or I can just just give a an an an update on on RPC infastructure um unless Conrad had notes he wanted to share um yeah just wanted

7. 2:55

   to to update Uh current status of our RPC systems you know we've gone through a few protocol upgrades with corresponding RPC upgrades in the last uh few weeks what we're seeing right now is actually uh really performance systems but we want to hear if anybody is seeing something other other than that um we've actually um increased our capacity by about 10x in the last few weeks while also optimizing performance so we've actually seen we're seeing current latency uh around 800 milliseconds uh for for uh 95th

8. 3:26

   percentile of of calls which we're pretty happy about seeing um uh you know a lot of great performance reliability uh please reach out if you're seeing anything different we're also working independently on further decentralizing our RPC systems so right now we have a lot of pagota sponsored uh systems Gateway we're working with a few Partners one is uh lava networks uh that that we're we're using to start to decentralize so you're going to have more information in the next few weeks about what that's going to look like it should be a um really easy transition

9. 3:57

   for all developers you shouldn't need to do anything but we're going to be really vocal about how we're further decentralizing and giving people more options um so that's that's the latest we're uh in the green on our PC right now but would' love to hear uh any feedback for real world performance that's all I had to update yeah great thanks Jim uh so I'll take it up I think Conrad is still busy uh one thing that I want to start with uh is the announcement of the infrastructure

10. 4:31

    committee and my colleague trentin is also in the call he can share more details on how the process works but I can share uh a bit about the infrastructure committee that was uh formed a couple of months ago and now it is official the idea of this committee is to bring all ecosystem nodes u calaro u Aurora near near one Pagoda and a couple of other uh ecosystem partners uh to identify the gaps in infrastructure whether it's wallers indexers Bridges

11. 5:06

    rpcs uh among others and identify what are the requirements there try to build up a RFP that will be floated with the process that trentin has created on our devhub page on boss and through that process then we identify or short list or ask for demonstration or build proof of coner with these partners and then at the end of the cycle select one of the partners and try to support it to build a more robust and more performant

12. 5:37

    infrastructure at near I can put in the link in our chat here and maybe until then Tren can share a bit more about the process how it works yeah uh thanks Vic our process is pretty straightforward right now it's kind of a a simple manual one um we're making some improvements to it as we go along uh but right now um if you hit up our Wiki we have a the um uh I put the wiki in the chat there you can see all about how getting a proposal uh through

13. 6:08

    the process uh you're just going to reach out to us on telegram we're going to get you started and set you up um with a folder and a template so that you have prompted for the right questions you fill it out um and then we move it through the process so our committee uh most of it happens asynchronously our committee meets once uh every couple weeks to talk about important things um and we're also looking at doing some real deep dive break out sessions here in the future as well to help Drive

14. 6:32

    strategy so definitely uh something that's super important uh to the the leaders and the founders of the ecosystem and I'm looking forward excited to see more coming out of that committee great thanks TR and the link that I shared in the chat you could also see some of the projects that we have funded last couple of months and some of them are already building or have already launched their proof of concept

15. 6:59

    uh some of being the RPC service from F near and then JSU one of our partners is trying to uh build an AI based generative AI IDE infrastructure Aurora is already funded to build a web3 wallet which supports near names and also Maps near names to ethereum names for example uh we are also coming up with this uh treasury or a multi app that will be used for uh the governance and uh we have V in the call who will share a bit more about The

16. 7:31

    Ledger uh integration and audit that we have been working on at the end of the call meanwhile we are also in uh communication with six other uh Partners where we are talking about various initiatives on again improving uh RPC or decentralizing it or even working on these DNS names which are more web three friendly uh also discussing some cross chain and Bridge uh topics uh while also working with you know some of

17. 8:01

    the realer partners and realer services that we want to build along with some of our partners like meor to name a few uh yeah on the thematic updates we have five part Partners today or five of them we'll start with DDF or Pike speak who will share with us some of the cool things has been building with onchain data so I let D take over from here and share some cool up from your end awesome di did you need to share your screen or you

18. 8:33

    good no I'm good thanks a lot thanks guys very excited to be here thanks for the invitation um so I'm DDA the co-founder of Pikes speak I just wanted to update you guys on two things uh the first thing is what has been done recently and what is coming so what has been done the first thing and I guess that echoed um what you mentioned Vi about fast near is that we've been we integrated fast for um to display large

19. 9:06

    token balances and refinance is a good example right because you have hundreds of tokens and we are like extremely happy uh about the integration it's really uh super fast so I would recommend to any project that you know has the same needs basically to use fast um to display large token balances that's that's extremely fast uh the second thing is that we also simplified our takes viewer so which um so we have now three levels uh when you want to check a transaction a transaction uh the

20. 9:46

    first one is the overview which is something very easy to digest uh for the user right so you want to see if the transaction uh you know succeeded or failed and basically the main information easy to transfer what's the amount what's the what's the token and that's it and then we have a detailed uh view where you can you know see the different receipts for example for this transaction and we have something more developers oriented with a tree of you

21. 10:17

    know the breakdown of the of the transaction uh so the cool thing about that is we are in talk with uh different projects to have you know bik speak um as a reference for those uh transaction redirections right um so we've been working with huts and they integrated us on on on a few stuff with uh their U1 projects um we are also now on the defi side displaying borrow cach rewards in

22. 10:48

    the defi portfolio which allows you know any digs to basically have their borrow cach rewards displayed in a nice way when they check their uh portfolio um and the last thing that you probably saw guys is um on our homepage we have now the top 100 account creators which gives an appetite of you know what are for the near ecosystem those different activ activation uh channels right is it centralized exchanges is it cing uh and you basically see what's trending for the

23. 11:27

    last what has been trending for the last hour so that's about what has been down uh now what is coming uh we've been working on a new infrastructure and backend setup and this has been quite um that has lasted quite um a bit for us like the the last three weeks but we are uh completing this m this migration to to our new backend setup and we will have uh back our contracts analyis

24. 11:59

    where basically for any smart contract you can check you know stats such as user retention uh what's you know what what have been the the the most active users over the last seven days over the last months for example um which has been not live for the last three weeks so quite frustrating for us but it's uh coming back again uh and it should be back again this week and the last thing that we are the most excited about is our defi Alpha dashboard which should

25. 12:32

    deliver a semi strong form of market efficiency so what does that mean that means that we will have easily um like accessible data and easily readable data for what's happening on defi right now but not only for live transactions also historical transactions so you want to see the live flow of you know swap on Swap on refinance uh liquidity provision events uh borrow cash events then basically you have access to that but you can also check any defi historical

26. 13:10

    transaction um and and in a very easy uh way to read like a bird eye like experience almost a deck screener experience but not not only for a trading pair for basically almost uh any defi event on year so yeah that's everything for us uh at the moment yeah very interesting update J thank you so much I I had a quick question on that one uh does that eliminate the need for using deck screener or Birds ey in that

27. 13:41

    case um well I guess that um you could use um you know Pik speak as a as a signal to you know trade with this view so I guess that we are covering uh features um that de screener is providing at the moment or or bird eye but people are really used you know with tech screener they have also trading view charts uh if they are doing any technical analysis uh which we don't so I wouldn't say we will eliminate the need for de screener uh but we will cover like all the trading pairs all the

28. 14:24

    defi events in one um in in in one page so that will be something Dex screener doesn't have right at the moment because you only have access to trading data for specific trading there right right yeah very good information yeah and also what I saw was a bubble map like chart right which you don't get on De screener but you get them at bubble map which is available on P Peak showing yes correct that will be also

29. 14:54

    something else yes we provide um we also building a m in raise charts um to be more into the DG Spirits um and to have you know DG engaging with uh the near ecosystem but also checking what other dents are doing right and and and leveraging that market information to either improve their whatever you know strategies uh but at least we will have for the first time one place with you

30. 15:27

    know easy readable data uh for any things happening on on on on on the near ecosystem great very exciting thank you dear uh we'll move on and then go to pit and I think we have Mark yeah on the call who can give us some updates on pit Jim Jim guys just putting my camera we calling from Paris for currently blockchain week so I'll start by this if any of you is around hit me up in DMS I'll be all around um no and pip wise so

31. 16:07

    just for everyone to know we deployed let's say the P Oracle on near Main net at the end of last year um exact date I'll forget but near con was testet and a month after was main net um and thanks to the amazing team at Burrow um we had let's say two months of back and forth around usage so now burrow is actually starting using Pon mainnet so if you use burrow it use P Price feeds but for you it means that burrow is starting doing price updates

32. 16:41

    uh for the assets they support on as a reminder p is an OnDemand Oracle so you shouldn't expect regular or proactive price updates coming to you but you can trigger and do those updates by yourself and then use them so with B already live today it means that actually you can um already start using U the price update made by burrow but for safety reason you should integrate so that if for some reason burrow stops updating you can

33. 17:15

    like have a BT that take over on your end um and where burrow was shining on our end is that um they created this uh but code that based on parameters you you want on for the price feeds you want can proactively do price updates for you and so your smart contract on there can just sit on its hand and read the value in the P SM contract so um while the big announcement was let's say two three months back um we actually now at Full Steam so that's super exciting um so you

34. 17:49

    building defi you need price feed you have about 500 price feeds available to you I would imagine that burrow is currently updating 10 of them but technically if you want Pur synthetics whatnot if you if you need Apple stock price on here you can get it so um if so building if I have question be sure to reach out uh later this week we're going to update also our whole docks a whole near dos uh on the piece website so that we also expose uh the borrow code which

35. 18:22

    is amazingly well made um another thing and I don't want to give timeline and I won't take much more time from you guys but another protocol that you might see arriving later this year from me is and we're going to have to pick our battle in between two either onchain Randomness so not I mean end of the day looks like chain link V but once again it's designed the exact opposite way uh because we want it to be fast and cheaper um so if you're doing gaming

36. 18:53

    casino whatnot uh or need for whatever reason unch Randomness it's under too list to ship this later this year for near and the second thing that's also likely coming to near and will interest borrow but can interest any other def app is we're also working on what we could call a liquidation protocol so that if you're a def that liquidate position you can actually broadcast these liquidations to uh Searchers let's say uh usually the Searcher are pce

37. 19:24

    Publishers you can imagine wintermute uh serini whatnot trading on chain and the whole idea of this product is to uh it's kind of like a Dutch option for liquidation and having this detraction meaning you will have to pay less to liquidate people so bunch of savings for your apps uh but this again from Q3 for so unchain Randomness and liquidation specific protocol from Q3 from Q3 for and today a working and

38. 19:56

    already used Oracle 500 price Feats great Mark and I don't have much else yeah yeah really good updates Mark uh do you do you want to also share something that we discussed during the Twitter spaces about uh some cross chain data on pit I think that's very interesting right given the fact that m is also focusing a lot on multi-chain and chain attraction yes definitely so um I know so also for everyone so yeah we had an amazing space with near in burrow last

39. 20:32

    week and one thing for you to remember is uh p is already on like 60 blockchains uh we have about 200 apps using us or across and with this new positioning let's say of NE with this new vertical um we might be able to and actually we're going to try this uh because it's great for us great for me is to funnel existing user whether it's oh switch to near da or what if go native to to near so one thing we're GNA uh try with this new

40. 21:08

    let's say vertical for is yeah just just get more more apps there overall and same on the other side so um but like as we support borrow we're going to need to support no more near related token with price feeds um so if you want a price feed also shoot me DMS and and with our design whenever we support let's say a near or any price feed it's automatically available on all the blockchains we support so let's say we have a near price fit today and it's

41. 21:40

    actually used on optimism by synthetics for the props so also on this side we can help you um like get exposure also outside of the near ecosystem with our existing uh roster of user uh but was it this specific Point vas or was it another one yeah yeah indeed this one and then that the price feeds could also be used across multiple chains for farming different air drops right because then

42. 22:10

    you can actually have a a wrapper on top of all the price data that we get from multiple chains and you could get one uh one view of all the different air drops and eligibilities that you have across chains okay so we don't but we don't support that yet but that's actually a great idea yeah we did discuss about it indeed but that's good for now Mark appreciate your time uh thank thank you so much for joining from the conference I'll share some more updates uh in the chat that we discussed and

43. 22:44

    what what's coming up on the pit side uh thank you so much have a nice day that takes us to the third uh presentation uh that is from you all hello you all uh and you all wants to present some improvements we have done on the drpc or IPR RPC as we would like to call it from laa over to you yeah yeah hey everyone thanks Vic uh I'm gonna show my screen all right you should be good thank you perfect so I always have issues with zoom I'm uh I'm used to

44. 23:25

    Google can you see the screen yep we can see it perfectly okay nice yeah so just a short recap on what we've been doing recently um uh generally what we do at lava we are working with the near foundation with Pagoda and other partners within the ecosystem to diversify and make the public RPC and RPC in general in the ecosystem more reliable lava in general is a cosmos based blockchain that creates an open market for uh essentially any kind of

45. 23:59

    blockchain data it starts with RPC archive data advanced apis in the future also relayer sequencer orals Etc so essentially uh any kind of web three data structure you can take you can upload it to Lava and create a market for it incentivize data providers to provide it and uh uh essentially compete over the best quality of service uh so what we uh did with u uh for essentially we created an endpoint that Aggregates all all of the top RPC providers for

46. 24:32

    near on a single endpoint um and users pair with the top performing ones according to the performance latency up time and sync so we deployed on February uh we deployed the public endpoint uh we also deployed a custom endpoint on our Gateway app uh we launched a NE protocol on magma which is our gamified experience for web 3 users to engag with lava prior to manage which is a really cool initiative has been bringing a lot of new growth for both

47. 25:04

    lava and near pool um collaborating with wallets such as sender upcoming also collaboration with mint base and U Meto wallet uh here wallet Etc um yeah some of our users are on means base ref Finance Miner wallet sender Shard do Etc uh and and this kind of group is is also always growing uh we're always discussing uh new opportunities with uh Builders and teams in the ecosystem so um I expect uh many new services to

48. 25:41

    start U working with lava very soon uh so this was February in the last month we EMB boed um two RPC Partners which are essentially providers who we have very good experience uh with uh from past initiative so these are kind of partners that we work with to ensure that uh the endpoint is super reliable and robust uh we have implemented enhan enhanced caching and we're currently

49. 26:11

    standing on around 60 to 70% um cach responses which is really high uh and has really improved the quality of service on the endpoint and we're also uh working actually together with ref Finance to improve the uh latency in the uh Asia region ape region yeah so some stats you can see here um uh data for mayet and test net we have around 70 active providers uh across the last month we provided we servic almost five billion requests uh and compute units is is a

50. 26:51

    breakdown of RPC relay relays because each RPC relay has a bit of a different uh compute uh cost so this is kind of a metric that we use to break down exactly uh what was the cost uh for providers to Ser this uh this data and you can see that we're seeing around 400 million uh daily relays on average uh which is has been like a really really amazing growth uh over the last uh two

51. 27:22

    months uh some of the providers we that are on the endpoint stako lavender 5 block hunter Des Centrio I'm not sure everybody's as familiar as me with node providers but um um from people who are you know familiar with with the field and the teams these are top top tier providers very professional teams that have a um well-known name between node Runners some more stats from the last week you can see that the geolocation

52. 27:59

    uh is kind of between the US and and Asia so this is why we're kind of making the the we are working on making the latency uh better in in the Asia region uh some more about magma points um so just like briefly lava is generally a bit of a technical project in our test net until now we've had mostly technical participants whether that's developers uh or node runners um and now essentially any user any web

53. 28:32

    through user that has a wallet and and and knows his way on chain can take a customized endpoint from um our points uh platform put it in his new wallet and then every time he's active on chain he can gain points uh for making RPC queries through Lava and if you didn't know it's not only for transactions even when you open your wallet you make a lot of RPC calls to query your balance to query gas cost um so even if you're not making transactions and you're just using lava

54. 29:05

    RPC in the background you can earn magma points um which in the future might make you eligible for any kind of reward system um decided by lava foundation so this is a kind of cool way that we're connecting the lava and the uh NE Community making making very easy to for near people to also uh engage with lava we're still in the process of implementing uh near connect the the wallet selector but it's going to be implemented very soon hopefully uh yeah some testimonials uh

55. 29:36

    so a few team that we've been working with like mint base and CH dog um are very happy and and we're happy so uh definitely you want to share that and moving forward um there are a few things that we're focusing on first of all making sure that the latency and the service is is uh Top Notch across all geolocations um including archive support so we're on boarding more top providers more providers in Asia more archive providers Etc as well as cost

56. 30:10

    reduction and infra boost uh to our own internal info and then we have new features like an updated dashboard um which uh should make it very easy to for anyone to see whether the endpoint is live uh if there's down time they will be very uh they'll be able to very easily see and check if it's on their end or if it's lava um or anything like that and also see more studs about the

57. 30:38

    health of the endpoint like U what uh you know how much traffic is it serving how many providers what's uh the geolocation spread Etc um so that's something that we uh really want to get uh out soon as I said archive support we're also working on uh web socket subscriptions caching uh dos protection and advanced apis uh so yeah a lot of work and and we're happy to to keep updating as we

58. 31:08

    move forward and have new features and uh improve the service and yeah let me know if you I know it was a bit overloaded but let me know if you have any questions I'm happy to answer uh thanks you all I see a question from D do you want to ask the question yourself did you yeah thank you no I was just wondering if you guys provide RPC end point for historical data and if there is any state size

59. 31:38

    limits um for for those data yes so we are currently working on uh implementing archive support essentially how lava works is you have the protocol and then you have a network of providers that supports it so it's kind of a two two-phase process we added it to the protocol um but now we're doing the work of on boarding on data providers that have near archive data so once we have enough providers we can ensure that the data is actually robust and the performance is going to be high and then we can uh release it so this is

60. 32:14

    kind of the process that we're in I'm assuming it's going to take a couple more weeks uh and we'll make an announcement obviously great thank you awesome thanks so much you uh then we move on to our next slide and we have Luke iume yeah Luke from near blocks who is going to share some of the updates and progress they have made on near blocks last couple of weeks or almost a month now

61. 32:49

    over to you Luke is he in the call uh I'm checking now and I don't see Luke in here I'm not sure if he made it on today's call he did confirm though we can uh skip this section to the next and then if he if he pops back and her joins uh we can come back yeah let's move to Vlad then awesome hi Vlad hey folks can you see my screen can you hear me uh yep I had to unshare mine but we're good we can see your screen and hear you perfectly awesome so well um devhub is not just a team we we

62. 33:39

    actually building communities here so I'm I'm I'm taking responsibility of sharing more updates than just from the team that uh we are trying to build this community so better with me and uh yeah I want to remind the scoop of the p for this year um as we like clearly identified it falls into three buckets basically um the death tools Dev and devop as a platform as a as a portal and uh without further Ado uh I want to give some updates that um we are

63. 34:20

    very close to getting Ledger app to be finally uh supporting all the nicest features of near protocol such as big transactions me transactions siging messages um that are not transactions but that would be uh very helpful for um authentification authorization without uh needing to uh send transactions to the chain and and pay for them for X ke which is very nice you just uh confirm that the user

64. 34:52

    potentially possesses the key is very helpful feature uh and another paper cut removed uh and we are expecting it to be live on um Ledger live uh Market um Marketplace in May currently we are going through a formal security audit this mov I'm expecting it to be all good another update is the source can integration into car near the ks uh which will allow basically by default enable verifiable and discoverable uh source code for the contracts uh which is also another huge

65. 35:37

    win because these days it's uh still quite a bit of a challenge to identify what is the code um attributed to this U account that is deployed there um where to discover the code I hope that will also improve um ux and codability for users and ability to review it yourself and uh yeah all good we are in Dr mode for now but uh there's a huge collaboration in on there um on the platform side and the portal side um I want to give an update

66. 36:18

    that we basically are uh converting our current um devhub Tech into a reusable uh solution um for inre like infrastructure committee and other committees um and for that I will just go through really quickly what are the current features on the portal and what we can expect uh to see if some some other committees would want to run some more Tech so there announcement so there are basically communities feature and within it we have very a lot of flexibility with announcements uh

67. 36:55

    discussions uh that are fully integrated with um near social Fe all the posts going on through the fub are actually visible on General feed which is great for um visibility and you can even add your own custom extensions which are basically just boss components where you can build whatever you like for example hand board there um and then another latest feature that was already aligned lached recently the new proposals flow which we expect other committees to also

68. 37:34

    uh get from us basically as a a solution out of the box which has uh um clear and structured format of the data kyc integration uh that is easy like an easy way to track the status and timeline and also for the commes um operations that will be um treasury management to basically uh simplify the Ops side of things um not the H updates but I think I want to represent our community here

69. 38:12

    and there because I don't see them on the call but I believe they should be here uh probably didn't make it today uh past year has had a lot of success launching um very high performance reliable Services providing various apis um for developers and they are shipping daily basically so check it out subscribe for for the Twitter account and uh keep an eye on them another thing um is the GE

70. 38:46

    wallet H um uh teacher being uh finally launched with wallet selector so any D app that has been using Vault selector should update their um Vault selector to get this free support for millions of users uh being able to sign sign in to their apps using Po and there is from the pakota side they launched a near Lake status board which um some of us developers rely a lot to know whether they index will be

71. 39:28

    fine is are there any incidents there it's very helpful and uh yeah if you if you ever wonder if it's a lake issue or it's on your indexer side issue um check it out uh you this is very helpful to to troubleshoot things there is also near Dev newsletter um where we have already six issues and they like it's happening every single week and every single update feels like a quarter of work uh which we can compile from the e system for all the developers to be up todate

72. 40:08

    and pick and choose the you can find the latest um infra updates tooling updates events and uh call to actions if you like what's what what are we looking for what other ecosystem uh partners are looking forward for help uh so check it out and subscribe for do not miss it and the where we go is the the C code if you want to subscribe just for the reminder yeah that's uh pretty much all my side I

73. 40:47

    see any questions any um yeah I I was just wondering because um you have this you know new prop fit coming or the revamping of you know the existing version and I think because you know one of the painful points for us as an ecosystem is to you know attract talents I think that in the old version we used to have this ideation category in The Proposal feed and I think it would be great if we have this

74. 41:21

    category because as a new Builder um you want potentially to see the G you know the different gaps in the ecosystem and what can be you know built experimented so we can have you know prediction Market is missing uh there is room for another money market uh reverse swap on ref hasn't been missing for has been missing for the last two years um you know I don't know DCA tool and I would be okay you have that that's great because I've I've I've collected with my

75. 41:54

    team like a list of 15 stuff and I would be very happy to uh input that in this proposal field and at least as a new Builder you have access to you know what's missing or what can I experiments right now yeah definitely we we thought about it but uh looking at the flow how people use it before we realized it's better to have it as a community basically here so we created a community for hot ideas and uh we like we're collecting some from Twitter from Ilia

76. 42:25

    um some old ideas so we encourage you to also post here the discussions are totally free form so anybody can drop their discussions here currently the moderators are this plugs so we will uh help to you know select and bring more even more uh visibility to those that are high have high value high potential um so yeah it's U we just changed basically the the flow a little bit um because previously it was mix of everything it was a bit hard to discover okay cool we'll we'll input that uh here

77. 43:06

    with my team uh if you can just provide the link it would be great thank thanks here are the couple links to the and the slides and the last link is to this community any other questions great looks good uh Vlad and I just got a confirmation from uh Luke I think there was some uh mil miscalculation at his end with time zone changes but he is going to present some uh updates during the call this evening with the tools community in the tools

78. 43:50

    community group he just messaged me so I just shared the link if anybody wants to see what near blocks is uh coming up with and they'll also have a a short presentation in the ecosystem call I just heard from from them yeah so if if you have any anything else to discuss in general we have some time at our hand if not I think uh we'll uh just continue with our work and there's a feedback or a QR code that you could also use to share feedback on

79. 44:24

    infrastructure what needs to change uh in general feedback or anything very specific if I may spend like one more minute I want to really shout out to near blocks because they uh it was multi-month if not like a half a year effort to migrate to the new infrastructure to support faster like backend basically data source for near blocks and they relaunched it a couple of weeks ago or maybe a week ago because

80. 44:59

    like it's it's super Snappy these days and uh yeah I I can recommend more defitely start more completely agree yeah I totally second that Vlad uh Sasha they did announce it in the group chats larger group chats but not as an official uh uh Twitter or near news yet they're still building a lot of things in their beta version uh and once that is ready I think they'll make a larger announcement across the

81. 45:42

    board yeah Marcus I think uh over to you that should be it from cool uh just really quick Vic um not it's a little bit on on your pipeline somebody in the YouTube chat is asking uh if there's any comments at this time or any further kind of insights or information around near foundations $4 million venture to fortify blockchain infrastructure uh information in terms of which direction or which Focus areas

82. 46:14

    do we want to uh look at yeah so like just any any kind of like solidified information around that you know if there's any specific verticals or Focus areas uh within that or any just general information yeah so our Uh current focus is indeed rpcs so that's something that we are looking at be beyond that we are looking at uh a lot of uh cross-chain communication or multi-chain Solutions whether it's Bridges uh or something to do with uh smooth onboarding right uh

83. 46:45

    multi uh multi-chain wallet like kind of solution that works with the near ecosystem with also very seamless on and off ramp uh inbuilt into it and then there are also some other uh very generic topics that is always in progress and for improvement such as indexers explorers we spoke about already uh and uh and yeah any developer tooling that can automate the job of developers to make building on near easy is always more more than

84. 47:19

    welcome awesome thank you for that yeah and uh just want to kind of end it on that note I uh just want to say I really appreciate everybody tuning in um we're looking to run these once a month again we just want to make sure that we continue to transparently communicate and provide updates on the state of infrastructure on near uh and make sure that we're continuing to focus on the right things on near Foundation side so what I'll end it on is we do want to ensure that we're measuring this

85. 47:44

    uh sentiment so if you can scan the QR code uh there is a very very very brief uh NPS survey with us an optional um direct feedback kind of section at the end if there's anything you do want to write um we're always looking at kind of make sure we prioritize and uh this also should have popped up in the Luma registration as well um if you didn't take it there I would we all appreciate if you take a moment to take it now and

86. 48:08

    until uh the next one in um in May we'll see you take care thanks everyone thank you Mar
