Join me (Dorian :D) as I show you how to build the block shop that we saw in episode 2. This is a comprehensive tutorial how to build a blockchain app on NEAR from start to finish!

This inaugural Town Hall for the NEAR Community kicks off with NEAR Foundation CEO Erik Trautman, providing an introduction on what NEAR is, how the NEAR Foundation is supporting NEAR’s development and what the current main goals for NEAR Foundation are.

This time around Dorian (me ;D) wants to learn how the average developer can exchange digital assets in exchange for cryptocurrency. Watch as I muddle my way through figuring out how to create a mini online store that runs on blockchain and uses the cryptocurrency NEAR Tokens (In this case just test tokens).

Do you want to know what it looks like for an average frontend developer to go from not knowing a thing about blockchain to making his very first functional blockchain application?

"Wasm (WebAssembly), is rapidly emerging as a global standard for deterministic, cross-platform computation across many platforms. Many of the leading next-generation blockchain platforms are adopting this technology and designing smart contract virtual machines based on Wasm."

In the world of chain interoperability and sharded solutions, interaction of applications must be redesigned compared to single chain ecosystem. In this panel each project discusses the tradeoffs and benefits of app chain interaction that they are aiming for.

Here, Alex Skidanov, NEAR CEO gives a brief overview of NEAR Protocol, including blockchain architecture and sharding.
