A platform’s success is ultimately defined by how easy and engaging it is for users.\nMy vision is for Near to have an intuitive user experience that abstracts away blockchain complexities. The apps and interfaces built on Near should be as easy to use as any mainstream app today. This will reduce friction for adoption by non-crypto native users.\nTo realize this vision, I pledge to support efforts that improve Near's UX such as decentralized product frameworks, SDKs, widgets, and components. These tools empower developers to build user-friendly dApps. As a House of Merit member, I will also provide feedback to push for elegant, accessible interface options in Near's own products.\nAnother key focus area is enhancing social features and integrations. Adding social layers and connections between users can evoke positive emotions that drive retention. I pledge to brainstorm creative ways to add gamified, social, and collaborative elements across the Near ecosystem.\nLastly, I will champion extensive user testing with both technical and non-technical users. Their feedback will be invaluable for identifying UX gaps and areas of improvement.

I will collaborate closely with teams building NEAR's DeFi stack like Ref Finance. Attracting liquidity and integrating with mainstream crypto applications will make NEAR's DeFi ecosystem more robust.\nI also plan to advocate for simple fiat on-ramps so that new users can easily make a purchase. Smooth fiat integration will allow NEAR's apps to reach non-crypto native users as well, spurring adoption and growth.\nAdditionally, I pledge to support founders building on NEAR through grants, funding opportunities and incubator programs. NEAR's growth ultimately depends on the success of projects launching useful products on it. As a House of Merit member, I will help connect promising teams with capital and other resources.\nI will also work to attract large enterprises and traditional businesses to build on NEAR through developer advocacy and showcasing real-world use cases. Mainstream adoption of NEAR's blockchain will drive significant economic value.\nIn summary, I am committed to creating growth opportunities and supporting impactful innovation on NEAR. By executing on this vision, I believe we can establish Near as a leader in blockchain utility and value creation.", "Key_Issue_3": "Driving mass awareness and adoption for NEAR through effective marketing and outreach is essential in my view. NEAR has an innovative blockchain with huge potential, but its success depends on extensive marketing to reach a mainstream audience.\nIf elected, I pledge to champion bigger marketing budgets and initiatives to promote NEAR. Some specific ideas I'll advocate for are social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, targeted ads, and community referral programs to spread awareness.\nI also plan to represent NEAR by speaking at major blockchain and tech conferences. My talks will demonstrate the benefits of NEAR to developers and enterprises looking for a scalable blockchain solution.\nAdditionally, I will expand NEAR's presence on Web2 platforms like YouTube, Twitter and Medium to engage non-crypto audiences.
