Announcing NearPAD, the DeFi Hub for NEAR Ecosystem
Remember when we were kids, looking up and wondering if we couldn’t really take to the skies like the birds flapping across? Remember the longing? Remember draping your bedsheet around your shoulder and running through the rooms — was it a plane? Was it a bird? Nobody ever quite figured that out because man is physically incapable of flying and you are no Tony Stark.
Or so the reason for dismissing that dream had gone.
It’s always one reason or the other when it comes to dismissing your dreams. Too young, too broke, don’t know the right people, wrong neighborhood, wrong country, not enough likes on Twitter — the hits just keep on coming. But wasn’t it the same dream that powered the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, deployed communication objects in orbit with the earth, birthed the Internet, and pioneered a revolution that is now redefining how we create and interact with financial values. The first three may require a Tony Stark-esque resources to reengineer, but the latter can be leveraged by anyone anywhere to build infrastructure for value exchange and create value ecosystems from the ground up.
The Distance Between Dream and Reality is called Action
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has grown from a rallying call fueled by LAN parties and energy drinks in someone’s basement to the bedrock of a paradigm shift that is now redefining financial systems and value ownership. This multi-billion dollar behemoth continues to be at the forefront of leading inclusive, disruptive, and disintermediated innovations.
At the heart of the myriad of innovations, this industry continues to ushered in is a grassroots focus on bridging founders to growth communities, developers to product users, problems to solutions, and sometimes, solutions to problems waiting to happen. This has resulted in a rewarding ecosystem for both innovators and the community that stand by them, however, as this industry continues to grow, it’s becoming increasingly harder for developers to connect with potential communities and for communities to connect with the groundbreaking potentials in the space. There is often too much noise on both sides to filter through, turning what should have been an exciting surge through a bold, new ecosystem into living on 1428 Elm Street.
This is why we are building NearPAD, a one-stop-shop bridging disruptor to markets that need disrupting, startups to userbase, and users to products they can actually use. We are building the platform for launching successful crowdfunding for startups while giving the community fair access to vetted and secure opportunities.
NearPAD is a return to form for blockchain innovation where development is driven by a desire to solve palpable problems rather than abstractions. Developed on the emerging NEAR blockchain. Focusing on interoperability, accessibility, negligible gas fees, and scalability, NEAR’s development has incorporated some of the best researches in the field with none of the weaknesses, creating a blockchain ready for mass consumption and adoption.
NearPAD is set to pave the way into the heart of an ecosystem that is starting to gain traction and in need of a platform for developers, investors, and community to foster growth. Or as T.E. Lawrence said:
“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”
Welcome to your dream!
