Blockchain 3.0 - The Evolution in Blockchain DApps

Join our next event on Thursday, February 28th to learn about Blockchain's next evolution and what is needed to make DApps (blockchain decentralized apps) go mainstream.

We will cover the following key topics:

Illia Polosukhin

3. Learn from Illia about building an outstanding tech team and new standard setting blockchain protocol

During workshop, you'll get a chance to test-drive the new NEAR DevNet. NEAR is a scalable, developer-friendly blockchain put together to address the key concerns of existing blockchains -- usability, scalability and business models. You have the chance to be among the first to take it for a spin before it becomes publicly available.

## Prerequisites

You'll be able to use our web-hosted IDE for this so you don't *need* to download anything but we'll make the self-hosted environment available at the event. Also:
