[RESOURCES] Onboarding Materials for Creatives

[tabear]

Here are some helpful links and info when onboarding Creatives into the NEAR ecosystem.

Feel free to add further suggestions in the comments so they can be added if they are related.

Getting started

• Wallet & Onboarding

• IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • Never share your seed phrase, store it safely to be able to recover the account
  • There is NO wallet app (scam!); only the official website
  • Staking:
    • Delegated: locking N to receive a reward (approx. 10-12 % APY); ~2 days waiting period to unlock
    • Liquid: immediate use, small fee, smart contract risk
