AI x Web3 Ecosystem Series: NEAR Ecosystem Market Map

-– Teresa Liang, Venture Investor at Decasonic

We are excited to unveil the latest installment in our Web3 x AI Market Map series, shining a spotlight on the NEAR Protocol ecosystem.

NEAR is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain engineered to advance the convergence of AI and decentralized technologies. Its architecture prioritizes rapid finality, minimal fees, and intuitive developer tools, establishing it as a premier protocol for AI-native Web3 applications.

Web3 Investor Day Speaker Panel

In an era shaped by the convergence of intelligence, capital, and community, the builders who lead with clarity, purpose, and long-term conviction are the ones defining what comes next.

We are proud to convene these visionaries at Web3 Investor Day during TechChicago Week on July 24 at Willis Tower, guided by this year’s theme: Full Speed Ahead.

Our speaker panels bring together a dynamic group of founders, funders, and frontier thinkers advancing innovation across the full stack. From infrastructure to intelligence, from mainstream adoption to market evolution, these leaders are participating and building in the future of the next generation internet. 

We are honored to share the stage with those who are moving our ecosystem forward with integrity, velocity, and exponential impact.
