Hello NEAR family. 🥳👋
In April, the DAO Open Web Academy team made a proposal to run Open Web House MTY, the third on-site NEAR hackathon/Hacker House in Mexico, with the aim of adding new constructors to the NEAR Protocol. and develop new dApp solutions for the ecosystem and on this occasion to actively promote the use of the Blockchain Operating System and NEAR Social.

> Hello NEAR Family. waving_hand Continuing with the route of the open web house, we bring a new proposal to continue promoting the NEAR Protocol in Mexican lands. This edition of Open Web House is special because it takes place in parallel to the CriptoMexico event organized by the CryptoCarnes community in Monterrey, a community oriented towards blockchain education in the region. With the experience generated around the different hacker houses that we have implemented, this proposal not on…
## TL;DR ⚡⚡
You can read the Twitter thread that summarizes the event: [https://twitter.com/openwebacademy\_/status/1663256389773295633](https://twitter.com/openwebacademy_/status/1663256389773295633)
## ❗❗A SUCCESS OPEN WEB HOUSE MTY🥩👯
After the last hacker house we hosted, we flew to the north of Mexico to celebrate an open web house by NEAR Protocol in the city of Monterrey Mexico. At the end of this edition we are left with great learning, great projects and great excitement to continue building web 3.0, but above all a great adoption and acceptance of the NEAR ecosystem. Today I present the formal report of the event held last week 👇👇
Before starting the summary and numerals of the event, it is necessary to thank the [@CarnesCrypto](https://twitter.com/CarnesCrypto) community for being a great strategic partner to carry out the Hackathon Open Web House MTY and the main event of [#CriptoMéxico](https://criptomexico.mx/) (side event that was held on the same week than the open web house) 🤝🤝, as well as all the local communities that welcomed us. 🏕 And in the same way, thank the dao marketing team (@marketingdao-council)who, since our first edition, have given us full support, as well as the necessary feedback so that the NEAR construction space continues to improve and expand throughout the territory of Latam. 🗺
## Before the event 🔙
With the intention of disseminating and giving presence to the event, the Open Web House community developed the following activities
- 1 week of online training to learn how to build on NEAR Protocol | [view](https://twitter.com/openwebacademy_/status/1653761333232541696)
- 1 twitter spaces about Open Web House MTY | [view](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKrzRqlgkKX)
- Advertising with printed material in the venue of the event
## The event 🏠
From May 24 to 26 we were at the Nuevo León Cultural Citizen Laboratory in Mexico [@labnuevoleon](https://twitter.com/labnuevoleon) hacking local problems and validating them as web 3.0 projects so that people could benefit from decentralization, human causes and technology by [#NEARProtocol](https://twitter.com/hashtag/NEARProtocol?src=hashtag_click) and [@auroraisnear](https://twitter.com/auroraisnear). With a schedule from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the participants had the opportunity to receive workshops, listen to talks, and create contact networks to scale up the proposed projects.
- Venue of the event: Nuevo León Cultural Citizen Laboratory. [See maps](https://goo.gl/maps/shXJWFjK5ys46LDW9)
- Dates March 24 to 26 from 13:00 p.m. to 21:00 p.m. per day.

## Hackathon management, participants and projects 🏆
After 3 days of hard work building projects with NEAR and AURORA technology at the Citizen Cultural Laboratory, on May 27 we took the participants of the Open Web House MTY to the event [#CriptoMéxico](https://criptomexico.mx/), crypto talks and networking event that was held the same week, in the same city, and which gave the hackathon finalist teams the opportunity to present their created projects in front of the attendees of said event. This was in a new venue, the convention center [@cintermexmty](https://twitter.com/cintermexmty) where +200 people interested in the crypto world gathered.
🏆4 projects were winners and awarded a prize bag of 3000 USDC 🪙from the NEAR network.😉The administrative and technical management of the hackathon was carried out in Devpost. A platform that helps software engineers (developers) to participate in hackathon-style software competitions. Here the participants make their creations and tools visible to the Devpost community and the world. In this way, anyone interested in monitoring what was created on May 24-26 at the Open Web House Monterreyd, can enter the link [https://owh-mty-ft-criptomexico.devpost.com/](https://owh-mty-ft-criptomexico.devpost.com/) and see the details of all the projects created, as well as the participants of each team and the profiles they have.
## The challenges 🏃♂️
In each Open Web House held by the owa community, we strive to offer a high-level impact, and on this occasion the objectives of the hakacthon were aimed at more people being able to build solutions using the Blockchain Operating System and AURORA technology, reason for which we wrote construction challenges that would allow more widgets and decentralized interfaces in the network.
### NEAR IS BOS
Introduction:
Blockchain Operating System is one of the easiest ways to build and deploy a decentralized frontend that is useful for any chain: NEAR, Ethereum Virtual Machines, Solana, Polkadot, etc. On top of that, all the information lives inside the NEAR Protocol blockchain, making your frontend totally decentralized.
- Deploy smart contracts as fungible tokens, NFTs, DeFi or something else.
- Transfer tokens between accounts, either $NEAR or a fungible token.
- Transfer tokens using the Ethereum rainbow bridge \<\> NEAR \<\> Aurora
- Set up validator nodes for your Proof of Stake system
- Introduce new users easily to the world of Web 3.
Expected solution:
In this challenge you will have to build your own widget for a smart contract running on the NEAR Protocol. The contract can be created by you using the contract of a third party.
### EVM IS BOS
Introduction:
The Ethereum Virtual Machine is the application layer that was originally released on top of Ethereum, and is now present in multiple chains: Aurora Network, BNB Chain, Moonbeam, Arbitrum, among others. EVM’s have the advantage of having a large number of users and existing infrastructure for their use, including: Web3.js, Meta Mask, Wallet Connect and other tools that make it versatile for use.
Specifically speaking, Aurora Network is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) mounted on top of the NEAR Protocol infrastructure. With Aurora you can:
- Transfer your tokens between Ethereum \<\> NEAR \<\> AURORA
- Deploy smart contracts made in Solidity with the same experience as in Ethereum.
- Use wallets known as Meta Mask.
- Pay low transaction costs.
- Using the aurora.plus platform you get 50 free transactions per month
Expected solution:
A decentralized application that runs on the Aurora network and with high added value to its users.

## Full experience 💯
🕰For 1 full week Monterrey Mexico became the crypto epicenter of Mexico where the Open Web House MTY and the parallel activities of the hackathon allowed local communities to have fun, learn about NEAR and continue connecting with the ecosystem. 🥳🎉 :piñata:
## OWA is social 🌐
During the Open Web House, we carried out activations so that more people had a NEAR Wallet and began to share information in a decentralized way using near.social. If you didn’t get a chance to see the entire near.social feed between May 24-27, here’s a list of all the posts that were made about it.
