“Divide et vince”

-Julius Caesar

Divide and conquer. A tactic used by those in power for millennia.

United we stand, divided we fall.

There has never been a more pivotal time to unite against big tech & data tyrants.

Hardcoded into the original Bitcoin block, Satoshi gifted Bitcoin to the people as a weapon of mass reconstruction. A way to build a better system. A way to reclaim your financial sovereignty.

For too long, Web3 has been divided by tribalism.

We have lost sight of the end goal: a truly open digital world.

So, you're heading to Brussels for @ETHCC, huh?

There's more than beer and fries with mayo, there's a whole host of NEAR events to look out for.

Take a look at what to expect and start registering for events before they fill up: @EthCC NEAR Foundation's flagship side event, Chain Abstraction Day, is heading to Brussels on July 10th.

Don't miss talks and networking with industry leaders and super geeks in the Web3 world. Only a handful of spots remain.

Through the power of Chain Abstraction and a fist bump, NEAR's tech is connecting dozens of Ethereum L2s.

This is the essence of @DapDapMeUp, connecting users to a world of Ethereum L2s and dApps through a single, seamless, interface. DapDap is a universal gateway to Ethereum L2s and multiple Web3 protocols. By consolidating the user journey of multiple dApps into a single interface, DapDap enhances discoverability, simplifies onboarding, and abstracts individual interactions.

Why did the #1 most used consumer crypto project ditch @stripe for NEAR?

(hint: because big tech owns you)

KAI-Ching by @Cosmose_ has consistently ranked as a leading dApp by # of users since launching in 2023.

Today, let's zoom into Cosmose AI: THE PROBLEM
Consumers are stripped of the ownership of their data by user-generated data-driven apps, without getting rewarded for their engagement.

THE SOLUTION
Build an ecosystem that rewards users for their engagement whilst ensuring they retain ownership of their data.

Witness the birth of user-owned AI.

In a world powered by Chain Abstraction.

And reclaim your sovereignty.

Cont... Your data is sold to the highest bidder.

Why would the answers AI delivers be any different?

Since day 1, NEAR's vision has been a world where you have full control over your assets, data, and power to choose.
