NEARCON 2022 is NEAR Ecosystem’s flagship event bringing together 2,000+ attendees from the NEAR & Web3 ecosystem, and 200+ hackers.
After the inaugural event in 2021, NEARCON 2022 is slated to be NEAR Ecosystem’s biggest event yet, 3.5 days featuring renowned authors, economists, A-list artists, politicians, builders, multichain collaborators, makers across all possible industries – all passionate about building on NEAR and building a better world.
Along the conference, NEAR is inviting hundreds of hackers from around the world to join us during NEARCon this year for an intensive 48+ hour in-person hackathon.
Win prizes and get onstage for a live “Dragon’s Den” with crypto titans, and most importantly… have a blast building! If you are a hackathon finalist, your pitch will be professionally recorded live in front of all conference attendees!
Accepted hackers that attend and submit a hack in person will receive a participation stipend in NEAR tokens that should offset much of the cost of airfare to Lisbon.
