Seasons in the City
Oct 19, 2022 - It’s autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. What season is it in the City of NEAR? Pick one of the districts from the NEAR Tournament and review how activity there has changed over the past 90 days. What has changed? What trends can you spot? Is it truly “winter” in your chosen “district” or area (NFTs, DeFi, etc.)?
The Law Offices of NEAR
Jul 29, 2022 - Provide your best assessment of the number of contracts deployed on NEAR and clearly outline your methodology (after all, contract lawyers love clearly specified terms).
NEAR City Layout
Nov 9, 2022 - Choose at least two distinct measures of decentralization that can be explored with on-chain data; clearly define those metrics; and outline how NEAR performs based on those metrics. In your view, is NEAR becoming more centralized or decentralized over time?
New NEAR Users
Sep 3, 2022 - Q9. What actions does a user take when they deposit money into the NEAR ecosystem? Show the most common actions taken by users on NEAR (new users using NEAR for the first time) over the past 3 months.
City Amidst the Storm
Nov 15, 2022 - Provide a thoughtful analysis of how NEAR is weathering the market turbulence that occurred as a result of FTX’ insolvency. You can include baseline measures, e.g. token price, transaction volume - but go beyond that and apply your analysis skills. Choose and define at least 2 measures of ecosystem health, and assess how NEAR is performing on those metrics between the week of 11/7 and 11/14.Grand prize winners will also compare NEAR to at least one other Layer 1 blockchain ecosystem (Solana, Algorand, Flow, etc.), using the 2 measures provided. The goal is to gain a better understanding of how both NEAR and other ecosystems respond to market conditions that heavily affect one of their peers (in this case, Solana).
