-
According to Electric Capital’s Developer Report 2023, the presence of the new developers fell sharply by 52% due to the lack of incentive alignment. If we lose focus on attracting the new talent and actualize services, the whole industry will swing like it did during the previous cycles.

- Freelancing: Provide bounties for providers who further develop the Near ecosystem including educational module publication, system development or any other builder activities
