In this episode, we sit down with https://twitter.com/AlexSkidanov (Alexander Skidanov) and https://twitter.com/ilblackdragon (Illia Polosukhin) from https://nearprotocol.com/ (Near Protocol) to find out about their work. We discuss what brought them to develop Near Protocol, how they used their whiteboard sessions to learn from the best people in the space, the challenge of blockchain UX, and what has motivated them to become one of the fastest moving projects around.
