Penrose Partners Awarded Grant to Develop Educational Material for NEAR Protocol
The NEAR Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant to Penrose Partners to help develop educational resources across the topics of DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs within their ecosystem. The grant will be spent on the production of multimedia educational packages designed to accelerate the entry of new entrepreneurs, builders, and educators into the NEAR community.
As the NEAR Protocol continues its impressive rise into the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, they are aggressively developing their ecosystem with an $800 million development fund. This coincides with a slew of new hires, including the recruitment of crypto-industry veteran and former Managing Director of European Operations at Circle, Marieke Flament.
We consider NEAR as a great partner for driving blockchain adoptions across multiple use cases and industries, and are excited to work with them far into the future.
Looking Ahead — The Penrose Guild
As Penrose conducts deep research into the NEAR Protocol, we are simultaneously positioning ourselves as domain experts in their burgeoning community. Upon completion of the educational resources, Penrose will be uniquely positioned to help service the growing number of startups building dApps on top of NEAR. Our vision for a continued partnership with NEAR includes the creation of a Penrose Guild: the DAO-like entities in the NEAR community that contribute to the ecosystem’s growth.
This will allow Penrose to provide our business development services to aspiring entrepreneurs at little to no cost to the founders, in exchange for NEAR tokens provided by the NEAR Foundation.
