what are other people doing with it? 3. in 500-1000 words: `how` is it made exactly? how can i make it myself? where i can learn about how it’s made and how to make it? who makes it? *part 1 would be some text and diagrams, maybe a brief 1-2 min explainer video as alternative media to the text* *part 2 would be a list of links to dApps to use, maybe a 30-60 second screen recorded walkthrough of buying an NFT on Paras or farming rewards on ref.finance* *part 3 would be a list of links to sample code, courses that people could take, self-paced courses and facilitated courses, certifications, student testimonials, feedback, etc* this has been a burning priority for a few months now so any help we can get on shipping this would be great

NEAR for Senior Developers

Intro to NEAR for Senior Developers Today’s cryptonetworks suffer from limitations that keep them from seriously challenging centralized incumbents. The most severe limitations are around performance and scalability. The next few years will be about fixing these limitations and building networks that form the infrastructure layer of the crypto stack. After that, most of the energy will turn to building applications on top of that infrastructure. -- Chris Dixon, February 2018 The Map NEAR is a layer 1 smart contract platform (like Ethereum but cheaper and faster) that scales by parallelizing sharded storage and compute. NEAR Protocol uses Proof of Stake consensus with over 50 validators securing millions of transactions and hundreds of thousands of accounts as of summer 2021. The platform exposes two surfaces for extension:

Stablecoins - tl;dr

Overview Stablecoins are designed to be cryptocurrencies without the volatility. Meaning one unit of a stablecoin typically equals one unit of some other "real", fiat currency like the US Dollar or EURO. Stablecoins are designed to dramatically reduce volatility relative to other, unpegged cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Stablecoins pursue price stability by reserving assets as collateral or by using algorithms that control the supply of the stablecoin. What Does This Mean?
