NEAR Protocol Adds Investment Thesis Track to Its Hackathon

NEAR Protocol has added an investment thesis track to its hackathon, asking participants to use blockchain activity data and live dashboards to make evidence-based cases about the network’s long-term prospects.

Developers can examine on-chain activity — information recorded on the blockchain — and present their analysis through live dashboards. The track centers on using that data to assess NEAR’s outlook.

The hackathon also has an AI security track focused on tools to protect digital assets and identify scams.
