Security should be thought with usability in mind. They are not opposed to each other as some think.

Current self custody is not secure nor usable. Users will go via path of least resistance and expose themself to hacks and phishing if products don't offer usable defense. Currently web3 space is full of hidden security problems that are usually pushed to the user to DYOR.

Instead let's focus on build products that offer protection by default.

One of the biggest decisions was to make NEAR account model support many keys with different permissions

Privacy is a UN-recognized human right.

Blockchain embodies transparency. Consensus is the first layer of mutual agreement on its state. Privacy is the next layer, regardless if it’s via pseudo-anonymity or ZK proofs. Making someone liable simply for using a privacy tool used also by nefarious actors is equivalent to considering all clients of JP Morgan guilty because someone has used a bank account to launder money.

From the day 1 with @NEARProtocol it was about experience.

NEAR Ecosystem is ready for mass adoption now. Multiple examples of hiding blockchain and integrating into web2, onboarding of non crypto users and more.

Thread 👇

We started with the idea of experience.

Developer experience was first as the initial team were developers, focusing on bringing common languages (Rust/Typescript), using widely adopted platforms (WASM), scalable infra and programming model that's familiar to web devs (services)

Check out the frontend for ERC-20 transfer: ethereum.bridgetonear.org First I want to thank @k06a who came up with the original design, and to congratulate the group that built Rainbow Bridge with this release: @mzavershynskyi, @ExonumAlex, @mfornet94, @chadoh, Evgeny Kapun, Bo Yao, Alex Kouprin and other members of the team.
