Hi there! We wrote this guide to help anyone interested in ramping up on what the NEAR team and the NEAR Protocol actually do. That includes new users, curious community members, prospective partners and new employees. It provides a plain-English understanding of what we do, why we do it, and how you can learn what you need in order to get directly involved.

In order to ensure this guide is kept fully updated over time, we have moved the canonical version onto the NEAR blog. Please view it over there in order to ensure you have the most up-to-date version:

Thanks!
