To ensure projects have maximum impact, the team is focusing on high-quality projects with more value than publicity. In particular, the NEAR Foundation seeks to support projects focused on high-traction verticals such as sports, entertainment, and loyalty. One example of the NEAR Foundation’s commitment to these verticals is its partnership with Few and Far, which provides a community experience for groups and creatives that rewards participants for their loyalty and participation. The Foundation has also just announced a new partnership with Dropt, a Web3 platform for fan loyalty and engagement. For one of its first integrations, Dropt will partner with an NBA champion team, led by one of the most dominant players in the world. With more partnerships on the horizon, the NEAR Foundation is looking inward for apps to boldly push through the crypto winter.
