🌟 In line with the NEAR ecosystem’s commitment to decentralization; the NEAR Foundation announces two new ecosystem nodes: NEAR One and a Chain Abstraction team. These verticals have achieved sufficient maturity and will now serve the ecosystem as independent companies. NEAR One (Pagoda) will oversee protocol development for the NEAR Protocol, supporting a wide range of activities in the NEAR ecosystem that require a performant and scalable blockchain Chain Abstraction Spinout (Pagoda & Proximity Labs) will continue developing the technology powering Chain Signatures to make the Chain Abstraction vision a reality. These transitions mean that Pagoda will be winding down and funding for other ecosystem services provided by Pagoda will be distributed via an RFP process run by the Infrastructure Committee. 👀 Keep an eye for the upcoming mainnet launch of Nightshade 2.0 later this week!
