TLDR of the proposal: Sponsoring GitCoin Kernel Block 2
Detailed proposal: "The KERNEL Fellowship is an 8-week program talented builders looking to build relationships, products, and companies in Web 3. About 200-300 builders from around the world will join the KERNEL on Jan 2021 and will be surrounded by leading mentors from the Web3 community.
A unique part of the program is the KERNEL Syllabus. It lays out 16 Web 3 Lessons which we go through, two per week. Each week they’re joined by a guest speaker — think Juan Benet, Vinay Gupta, Vitalik Buterin. The goal is not to share information, but to build an environment for transformation. For KERNEL Fellows to genuinely learn together. To build new things."
As part of our sponsorship, we’ll be creating a track for NEAR. We also have the ability to send up to 6 teams to Kernel (without any added costs to our builders), which ensures that NEAR will have representation in the program. The primary purpose is to offer support and a builder network for our projects, as this pre-accelerator program helps them bring their projects from idea to reality. Additionally, we’ll also look to convert new devs/teams to building on NEAR.
Potential ROI/impact on the NEAR Ecosystem: Awareness/visibility as part of a cross-chain ecosystem program, plus supporting early teams building on NEAR. Also, we get to shape a NEAR Track so we can test drive some of our early education methods, workshops, presentations, and ideas.
