After wrangling hundreds of DeFi apps across dozens of chains, we’ve learned a thing or two about taming the wild world of onchain DeFi. Many exciting DeFi use cases and protocols are emerging, yet onchain UX remains fragmented, with Binance still the go-to exit. To attract more CEX users into DeFi, we need…

Let's dive into the world of NEAR features and devtools that allow building secure and maintainable smart contracts in Rust and TypeScript.

Imagine an AI assistant that truly understands your needs, plans for your growth, and connects you to the best products worldwide—directly through blockchain. NEAR’s new "intents" concept bridges your AI assistant with services and smart contracts for a seamless, personalized experience. #NEAR #AI #Blockchain…

The evolving landscape of the internet is moving from centralized systems to user-owned, self-sovereign applications that prioritize privacy and individual control. Privacy-focused infrastructures are empowering individuals and businesses by granting full ownership over their data, privacy, and digital assets.…

In today’s digital age, where privacy and data control are increasingly important, applications are evolving. This presentation explores the journey from traditional applications to decentralized applications (dApps), and ultimately to Self-Sovereign Applications (SSApps).

NEAR Foundation COO Chris Donovan is joined by Decentralized AI Society Chairman Michael Casey for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI will shape the coming decade.

The "fat protocol thesis" has given way to the "fat app thesis" with leading applications outpacing their host chains in fee revenue and, as with Uniswap, simply launching their own chains. In this context, chain abstraction becomes increasingly important. Can CA enhance liquidity for DeFi traders and ease onboarding…

So many apps, so many chains, so much token-fueled opportunism. How do you keep users engaged? How do you foster community over farming? From DeFi to decentralized AI, hear these pros discuss what it takes to build the fan bases that give crypto projects staying power.

Decentralized AI needs privacy, but how can it truly protect your data? Unlike centralized platforms, decentralized AI faces unique challenges. Here’s how technologies like Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) are stepping in to ensure your data remains private and secure. #DecentralizedAI #PrivacyFirst…
