No gas increase on Near Protocol will happen as long as usage stays below 50%. docs.near.org/concepts/basic… "The gas price is not fixed: it is recalculated each block depending on network demand. If the previous block is more than half full the price goes up, otherwise it goes down."

I like seeing the idea of a decentralized frontend pioneered by web4.near and Near Social (near.social) being brought to a next level. What I dislike is the limitation of React being the only supported solution. React is not a web standard. Web Components are a web standard.

Recently, I had a conversation with Alia K Sandrh about the need for more accessible on-chain games on NEAR Protocol. With the development of decentralized frontends through #NEARistheBOS, we aim to encourage more people to interact with the chain. 🧵👇

I finally built a frontend for "Chess On Chain" and outlined upcoming features on the Near Social (near.social) page: chess-game.near.social Visit the dapp here to play chess: near.social/#/chess-game.n… The game runs fully on chain and the frontend is developed via #NEARistheBOS 🧵 0/13

It's way too calm around Aurora's recent announcement about their SDK. If you're not yet freaking out about the possibilities this enables, you should better continue reading this thread 🧵👇 #NEARisNOW $NEAR NEAR Protocol

Hey all 👋 I finally managed to work on the PvP feature for "chess on chain" and its MVP is already complete. Here's a 🧵 0/10

What you see right here might be the first cross chain app from Aurora to $NEAR using the Aurora SDK (on testnet): testnet.nearblocks.io/txns/5YRXuKsje… Continue reading for an in depth explanation 👇

It's great to see how #WASM evolves. I'm specifically interested in the component model (github.com/WebAssembly/co…) and how we might use it for smart contracts. Imagine if you could write smart contracts using the component model instead of relying to develop your own tooling. 👇

Protocol Pawns allows you to play chess fully on chain via Near smart contracts and the BOS. chess-game.near.social I just recently published new updates to the smart contract. There aren't any new features for the users, but it's something way more valuable 🧵 0/4

Near Protocol recently announced the "App Upvoting Event" near.org/blog/call-for-… Protocol Pawns aims to become one of the featured dapps. You can give us your vote here: near.org/near/widget/Co… 🧵

🚨 Breaking News: The Anti-Cartel Cartel is here. Sick of the same old political song and dance in @neardc? Time for a real tune-up. We're not your typical party – no candidates, no elections, just empowering voters to dismantle corruption and flip the script.

Dog persons unite! There's a cute green dog token on Aurora waiting for devs to do something, so that we can finally bridge it to Near. You're wondering why that's not possible? Native Aurora ERC-20 cannot yet be bridged to Near. 👇

Development on the bridging solution has been halted: github.com/aurora-is-near… Let's amplify this and ask Aurora BD to bring the bridge live, so that we can adore our green dog puppy on Near. Aurora Alex Shevchenko 🇺🇦

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Mark your calendars 📆 because $SHITZU is about to start its on chain vote for the migration to Near on Dec 27th. All information has been published on the BOS: near.org/s/p?a=shitzu.s… Voting is done via EasyPoll: near.org/#/easypoll-v0.…
