Highlights:
We are excited to report that we successfully onboarded 5 [Completed] 6th [coming soon ] unhoused aka “homeless” participants into the NEAR ecosystem. These are people who are traditionally marginalized and excluded from fiat banking systems. Many of them do not have bank accounts. They learned and shared about blockchain technology, alternative economies and the NEAR ecosystem including a hands-on tour of gov.near.org, AstroDAO. and lessons on how to access and manage their near wallets.
- we are having a challenge minting the full length mp4’s on MintBase and are currently working to rectify this problem

Learnings:
- It is important to have patience while working with this population as most people have barriers to accessing email and technology in general.
- Our technology is a barrier. Trying to do basic things like onboard, mint and most of all edit video content while using a 1O plus year old laptop with broken keys and limited function is a TRUE challenge and adds a lot of extra time and barriers.
- Our knowledge of how to navigate Mintbase is proving a challenge and we look forward to growing our capacity in that platform.
