Open Web Sandbox Party, Second Edition: Over the Rainbow (Bridge) 🌈
29th of July was marked as a special date in our calendars: the second edition of the Open Web Sandbox was held by Sofia and Rebecca on the Airmeet platform. This recap will give you the most detailed overview of all speakers, special guests and other intriguing details tied to this event. Let’s dive in!
The main theme of this event was the NEAR Rainbow Bridge — a hot topic and a great technological breakthrough; inviting Marcelo Fornet, one of the team developers, to the event created a chance for the participants to broaden their knowledge of this impressive subject. Marcelo talked about the main mechanisms, most recent developments and future plans for the project during the first part of the party and left an ineffable impression on all who were present.
Afterwards, Shreyas, the NEAR community wizard and Guilds Lead, presented the freshest community updates, including a sneak peek of the team’s future plans and key focus areas. But that was not it for the NEAR Core community representation: by the end of the hour, James got a chance to discuss his recent creation — the Sandcastle DAO whose purpose is to eventually become the Ecosystem DAO and represent the whole NEAR population. Intrigued? You can find more information on this project here. All party attendees were invited to join the Sandcastle DAO and become full-fledged members of the council with a promised reward of a special proof of ‘partycipation’ OWS Party NFT created by Sam. It’s still not too late to receive your NFT, all you need to do is to submit the proposal on the Sandcastle DAO and have it approved by the council members.
As you all know, one of the main purposes of these events is to create the space for the community members to share updates on their projects and this edition was no exception! This time the spotlight was taken by multiple NEAR community members such as Alejandro from the Silicon Craftsmen, Riqi from Paras, Kevin from Sankore 2.0, Chloe from Marma J Foundation, Didier from Sodaki and many many more!
On top of that, the OWS moderator Carl presented his brand new idea for an OWS Taskathon (that’s right!) — a live event that will take place by the end of the month and will include multiple tasks, opportunities and exciting rewards. More details to follow in the near future so keep a close eye on our OWS discord server and, trust me, you won’t regret it 😉
All in all, this Rainbow-themed edition of the OWS party was a great success and our team would like to thank each member of the NEAR community who was able to attend the party and also helped to make this event possible. The support of this strong community is fueling our enthusiasm and motivation to continue our work!
Distinct gratitude goes to the DJ staRpauSe for providing the music for the opening and the closing of the event, while also managing to sneak in his own project pitch.
