The road to adoption with NEAR, Celo & Nexus Mutual

The road to adoption

We have big visions for the decentralized web to democratize access to finance, data and enable completely new kinds of products & organizations.

How do we get towards mainstream adoption, while upholding our values?

Greenfield One, NEAR Protocol, Celo and Nexus Mutual invite for an evening of lightning talks, panel discussion as well as relaxed mingling with drinks & pizza.
