NEAR SF Builder Day 🌉
The NEAR HACKS team is onboarding Rust and Javascript developers to the NEAR ecosystem at the NEAR SF Builder Day on December 10th from 10 am-7 pm! 🎉
After our stops in Miami, Austin, and New York City, we are stoked to meet more builders in San Francisco!
NEAR's key ecosystem players will unpack the most cutting-edge innovations and opportunities across the NEAR ecosystem like decentralized and censorship-resistant frontends, Proximity Labs' $10M Orderbook DEX grant program, NEAR's Developer DAO, Aurora Plus, and more!
Join us at Digital Garage, a renowned startup incubator and innovation hub in Downtown SF for a full day of insightful talks and hands-on technical workshops that spotlights builders in the NEAR ecosystem. Hear from founders blazing uncharted trails in the realm of decentralized technology and learn from the developers at the forefront of the tech!
We encourage builders and enthusiasts with varying backgrounds & skill sets to register and attend.
Event capacity is extremely limited, register now!
