What would it look like to redefine event loyalty?
It would mean bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds, to create a seamless, immersive experience for users that also drives businesses.
Here's how our new partnership with
@thelittlesnft
is doing exactly that.

The recent events with SVB are sending shockwaves through the entire startup world - and while my heart bleeds for the coming consequences and the impact, I am relieved to report that
@NEARFoundation
’s funds are safe.
1/ In light of recent news, we would like to confirm that the
#NEAR
Foundation has no exposure to Silvergate and minimal exposure to SVB — well under the FDIC insurance limit of $250k
Fiat funds held by the Foundation are stored in AA and AAA-rated Swiss bank accounts.
At NEAR Foundation we believe we can only shape an inclusive future if the builders themselves represent the society as a whole. Join us, help redefine the rules and let’s build the web3 future together.

NEAR enables the creation of OpenWeb, leveraging blockchain technology.
Our vision is to create a world where users own their data, their money, their creations, their journeys.
Following last year’s success very proud to announce the second edition of Women In Web3 change makers.
Nominate the Women in Web3 that you admire - so that we can share their stories and encourage many more brilliant women to join the Web3 movement!
Major milestone for our continued journey to decentralisation 👇
Setting up a validator on NEAR is permissionless and increasingly cheaper as the network grows (currently 20k NEAR) - .
I look forward to working with
