📅 Upcoming Events
We are not slowing down but immediately starting the year with three events!
👩🏽💻👨🏻💻 NEAR x D_D Abstraction Hacks 2024
Do you want to make onboarding to DApps as straightforward as on traditional apps? Then join the Abstraction Hacks, a battle cry for frontend devs who want to revolutionize the user experience by abstracting away blockchain complexities!
Over $10,000 worth of prizes to experiment with composable decentralized frontends, trial accounts to streamline onboarding, protocol-level meta transactions to abstract gas away, and much more!
The idea-sharing and team-building session is tomorrow, January 2, at 12 pm ET, and kick-off is January 8 at 12 pm ET, so don’t miss out; register and sign up for the calendar to learn about exciting upcoming events.
✍🏻 Heads up for the writers: We will host a NEAR Chain Abstraction thread competition! From January 2 to January 31, whoever explains chain abstraction the best can win. More info will follow on Twitter/X 🤫
