The NEAR Research Collective (NRC) operates as a DAO with a mission to foster innovation, learning, and curiosity within the NEAR Protocol and the broader blockchain ecosystem. The NRC promotes research, aligns its work with community needs, and drives informed decision-making. The NRC aims to catalyze growth in the NEAR ecosystem by emphasizing decentralization, community involvement, and transparency.
What Are Publications?
The NEAR Research Collective generally incentivizes two types of publications:
- Research articles and blog posts on the Marma J Foundation website.
- Videos will be published on the Marma J Foundation YouTube channel (if applicable).
Publication Incentives
The NRC DAO will distribute incentives for publications based on the content’s quality, relevance, and impact. They will also provide specific token incentives and distribution details.
