What is $NEAR Chill&Shill?
NEAR Chill&Shill is a twitter space in the NEAR ecosystem. We aim to educate our audience about the application and capabilities of NEAR By interviewing founders of projects on NEAR, we simultaneously spread awareness about NEAR, give founders a platform to spread the word about their project, and educate our listeners about NEAR. Our Twitter Space also includes community spaces where members of the NEAR ecosystem can connect and engage with each other, creating a strong and engaged community around NEAR . Our mission is to enhance the NEAR ecosystem by promoting the growth of projects, fostering engagement within the network, bringing our listeners the information and education to further their growth in web3 space.
Vision for December
As we approach December, our vision remains steadfastly anchored to our foundational objectives. Central to our mission is the efficient integration of new participants into the NEAR ecosystem, ensuring they receive a clear and streamlined introduction. Our focus will also be on enriching the understanding of our current community, with a special emphasis on pivotal NEAR elements such as NDC and BOS. We’re committed to not just informing our members about these key areas but also fostering active involvement.
Additionally, this month we will focus on onboarding our community on BOS and generating on-chain participation through various activities.
Alignment with CoA Metrics:
NEAR Chill&Shill’s strategy for the forthcoming month is closely aligned with the CoA’s social engagement metrics. We aim to amplify our engagement score by leveraging a mix of interactive content, strategic posting schedules, and community-driven initiatives.

We not only create content and educate our listeners and readers, but also organize them in an actively engaged community to keep growing and learning more about NEAR blockchain together and collaborating with each other.

- Content - Video - Short educational videos
Each video, approximately a minute long, is designed to demystify complex NEAR concepts, transforming them into understandable, accessible information. The aim is to diversify our content offerings and cater to our audience with an array of engaging educational content. The central idea behind these videos is to create simple yet engaging animations that effectively communicate the unique aspects and advantages of NEAR to a wider audience.
