# EDU Team 10 JUNE 2022 **Brief Summary** - met with funding team to plan grants workflow moving forward - met with editor for tl;dr - started research for upcoming NYC workshop that I will host ~21st June re: NFT markets - Continuing EDU office hours - helped community member, Lyudmil, draft a fast grant proposal to be technical support and host office hours when I'm unavailable. **Results** - funding team will require us to handle more of the grant managing than we anticipated. Will need to strategize on that. - The tl;dr editor, Jordan will start on 13th June with Stablecoins and Dev Track episodes. He seems competent, and excited about the project. - Harshit, Shreyas, and Todd Murtha have been helpful in my NFT market R&D for the upcoming workshop - Lyudmil has a great grant proposal focused on optimizing technical support in the NU server along with gathering data that will hopefully help surface insights about the community **Challenges & Blockers** - Imporvements made in grants flow, but Funding team needs us to onboard to their current contract management solution. We should focus on content of grants; not mechanics of grants management. - Post production will take time to tweak. - Need to add timestamps to scripts to help Jordan with graphics placement. - I'm trying to be more active in my local NEAR community, but it's difficult to set boundaries on my time, while also being more open to community opportunities. - Lyudmil is a good guy, but with a lack of formal training as a technical support member, it will be difficult to manage his progress. **Action Items** - meet with EDU grants team about ways we can spread the management of our grants. - experiment with several different approaches for converting tl;dr scripts into edit scripts. Have four scripts ready by Monday - research NFT space, and work with team members to create a great presentation that reflects EDU mission and values ###### tags: `edu`

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?
