NEAR Pavilion Launch Party Is Coming To London On June 16th

LONDON, June 16th — NEAR Protocol, one of the fastest-growing Ethereum alternative blockchains and community-centred ventures, assisted by Zebu Live, a London-based Web3 events conference, is hosting the NEAR Pavilion Launch Party. This event will help connecting London’s robust crypto community and support groundbreaking NFT, DeFi, and Metaverse projects.

Since its early beginnings, NEAR has always been focused on community building and exponential connections growth. NEAR has created a series of blockchain community hubs in several places ranging from China to the UK, the Balkans and Kenya. NEAR has managed to accelerate innovation and inspire regular people to start their own DAOs, NFT launches, or immersive Web3 ecosystems.

The NEAR Foundation’s famous grant program enables the most dedicated builders to join forces and grow their own ventures. To date, NEAR has awarded grants to projects tackling climate change, reducing crypto transaction (gas) fees, creating real-world token utility at scale, and much more.

Mark Sudgen, active Web3 enthusiast working on Business Development & Partnerships at NEAR, was thrilled about the upcoming NEAR Pavilion Launch and commented on the event stating:

“The team at Zebu Live are putting on a great event next week for London-based Web3 builders and community members alike — it will be great to see you all!”. He then added — “..this will be a monthly occurrence, and the team at NEAR are excited to embrace the London community”

Co-Founder and CEO at both Zebu Live and Zebu Digital, Harry Horsfall, was as excited to be working with the team at NEAR to produce a community-networking Web3 event and commented

“NEAR, as a project, has always been one of the heroes in the space, helping other ventures get off the ground with their most innovative ideas. To have NEAR Pavilion Launch — the start of a monthly meetup series celebrating and educating dedicated builders in crypto and connecting communities — is to have another path to mainstream growth of decentralised ideas and independent markets, and to help create better solutions for enthusiasts and businesses alike”
