NEAR Web4 Online Hackathon
NEAR Blockchain helps reimagine your world and empower users to have full control and responsibility over their data. NEAR introduced a few infrastructure apps and tools to empower Web3 builders. One of these tools was called “Web4”.
Web4 is a new way to distribute decentralized apps. You only need to deploy one smart contract using Rust/WebAssembly to host your app HTTP backend, static resources and blockchain logic.
Web4 helps to transform a NEAR account (name.near) into a website name.near.page (or name.testnet.page for testnet).
Let’s build Web4 together!
Web4 source code: https://github.com/vgrichina/web4.
Live example: https://web4.near.page/
Other examples:
- This App, Demo / Demo / Code
- NFT Preview, Demo / Code
- Oracle prices and validators availability, Demo / Code
- QR code generation for NFT, Demo / Code
Rewards Fund: 2,000 $USN
- 1,000 $USN: first prize
- 250 $USN: 2-5 prize
Challenge
Build an app using Web4 framework and deploy to the NEAR blockchain, testnet or mainnet (preferably).
Your contract should have some blockchain logic (display on-chain data, perform actions on the chain) and user-friendly interface to help interact with your contract. The user interface must be accessible via Web4 (url like name.near.page or name.testnet.page).
What can be build
- Application for displaying NFT tokens, enabling token interaction, game mechanics, etc.
- Application for displaying onchain data
- A new user interface for an existing smart contract that allows you to log in and work with the contract in a more convenient way.
- Any crazy ideas on how to utilize a Web4 page on a blockchain smart contract.
