This Thursday, we have Matt Lockyer from NEAR protocol with us!

Our CEO and CTO chat with NEAR's Developer Relations Director about some of the hottest topics in today's blockchain ecosystem:

1/ Building successful Layer-1 ecosystems

A. How to drive adoption, laissez-faire vs. leading by example

NEAR: engaging developers as well as building app prototypes to model the way

TARAXA: straight-up developing applications and drive them to profitability, pushing the ecosystem from 0 to 1 on our own first

B. Building ecosystems that are sustainable over the longer term

General purpose vs. use-case specific

First-mover advantage

Competition between Layer-1s, especially ETH

2/ Leveraging blockchain technology for non-financial applications & use cases

A. How blockchain enables DAOs, gig-economy, creative social tokens

NEAR: empowering creatives & fans to get off big centralized platforms

B. Bridging the on-chain and off-chain worlds, leveraging blockchain in the real-world

TARAXA: capturing informal transactions to provide short-term operational value, and long-term enables reputation-based finance (collateralized vs. reputation-based)
