Well hello, NEAR Academy!

We're proud to announce the launch of near.academy, a keystone of our educational onramp at NEAR Protocol. Powered by the same team and technology behind Ocean Academy and Tezos Academy, NEAR Academy is purpose-built for web 2 developers looking for a hands-on introduction to blockchain concepts and code. 101Labs has done an incredible job of crafting an approachable narrative with a twist: The Meme Museum. The year is 2029. The new internet is running on top of public interoperable blockchains. It seems crazy to think how the perception towards these technologies has drastically changed. The Internet of Value is more tangible than ever. Knowing how blockchain works is not considered a competitive advantage nowadays. It is a must-have. Behind the welcoming facade of the meme museum are multiple smart contracts written specifically for this learning experience. These include a custom NFT token contract and an NFT generator. These contracts work together to create an immersive experience for developers learning about NEAR Protocol where anyone can enter and everyone leaves with an NFT.

DEPRECATED landing page for NEAR Certified Developer (toc)

:warning: this page is deprecated :warning: :arrow_right: see this updated page :arrow_left: NEAR Certified Developer This course is an opportunity for web developers to earn a Certificate of Completion that represents the ability to design, develop, test and deploy smart contracts on the NEAR platform. Welcome Glad you could join us. We will be working together over the next week to learn to build decentralized applications on the smart contract platform known as NEAR Protocol. Here's a report of what's happening in the industry with these so-called "layer 1" platforms as of Dec 2020. The research makes it clear: NEAR is here.
