This challenge will take you on a tour of `create-near-app`, the fastest way to get started building on NEAR Protocol. You will have to run the tool locally and pay close attention to the output but the payoff will be good: you will learn how to build dApps compatible with NEAR Protocol in minutes. `create-near-app` is great for generating a working starting point for your own hackathon projects. Good luck and have fun! --- **Estimates for Time to Complete** - Fastest time: **<30 seconds** (if you already know how to do this) - Most likely time: **5 minutes** - Time to quit: **10 minutes** (we can help you with some hints in this case) --- **Expected Response Format** - **name:** Firstname Lastname - **email:** you@example.com - **hunt:** 1 - **answer:** _(here letters represent names for technologies or programming languages)_ - `frontend: a, b, c` - `contract: x, y, z` --- **1. Visit [near.org](https://near.org)** The main website of NEAR Protocol is at https://near.org. Here you will find an overview of the platform, the team, the community and the technology. **2. Follow the instructions to *"Build your first app in 5 min. Try it!"*** The very first thing NEAR invites developers to try is `create-near-app`. You have to have NodeJS installed for this command to work so, if you've never run NodeJS locally before, you will have to install it first via the nodejs.org website here https://nodejs.org/en/download/ **3. Use the `--help` flag to view all options** Once you're ready to run `npx create-near-app`, just append the `--help` flag to the command to see all possible combinations of frontend and contract technologies. The NEAR collective built a few of these internally and then issued bounties for others. Several community members contributed their favorite frontend framework like this one: https://github.com/near/create-near-app/pull/452 You can checkout other bounties here: https://near.org/bounties/ **4. Format and submit your response** To submit your response to this challenge, compose your answer in the following format: ``` frontend: tech 1, tech 2, etc ... contract: tech A, etc... ``` --- You can read more about `create-near-app` here: https://github.com/near/create-near-app

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?
