NEAR City Layout
Nov 2, 2022 - How centralized or decentralized is NEAR, really? Choose at least two distinct measures of decentralization that can be explored with on-chain data; clearly define those metrics; and outline how NEAR performs based on those metrics. In your view, is NEAR becoming more centralized or decentralized over time?
Open Analytics Vol. II: Environmental Impact Study of DEIP
Oct 1, 2022 - Recently, we analyzed SWEAT - one of the premier projects on NEAR. Do a deep dive into another project on NEAR and analyze its impact, defining metrics for “impact” and displaying them with data. What contributions is your chosen project making to NEAR? You don’t need to choose one of the biggest or most impactful projects - and your research can include qualitative assessment as well. As usual: cite the source for any outside work or explanations that you use. A brief overview of your chosen project will suffice; focus your power on answering the question:“What impact is this project having on NEAR? How much is it contributing, and how do you know?”Grand prize eligibility will also include brief recommendations on how this project could maximize its impact, and how you would track the results of your proposed interventions.
Seasons in the City
Oct 17, 2022 - It’s autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. What season is it in the City of NEAR? Pick one of the districts from the NEAR Tournament and review how activity there has changed over the past 90 days. What has changed? What trends can you spot? Is it truly “winter” in your chosen “district” or area (NFTs, DeFi, etc.)?
District Deep Dive: Contracts Deployed
Sep 26, 2022 - Building on work from The Law Offices of NEAR , provide an updated view of contracts deployed over time on NEAR. (Hint: the transactions table will help with this). What factors do you think might influence the number of contracts deployed?How might NEAR boost the number of developers and deployments within its ecosystem?You can rely on earlier work - yours and that of others - but clearly reference anyone whose work you use. Similarly, you are free to use GokuStats for inspiration (see the attached image), but the core part of this task is providing your own original insights. Grand Prizes will focus on well-reasoned, creative assessments on what drives developer activity on NEAR.
The Law Offices of NEAR
Aug 2, 2022 - Provide your best assessment of the number of smart contracts deployed on NEAR and clearly outline your methodology (after all, contract lawyers love clearly specified terms). Visualize the number of new smart contracts deployed over time over a time period of your choosing. What are the top 5 new smart contracts interacted in that period of your choosing?
