near-protocol-rewards v0.3.3
NEAR Protocol Rewards SDK
A transparent, metric-based rewards system for NEAR projects that directly ties incentives to development activity.
What is Protocol Rewards?
Protocol Rewards is a developer-first funding solution for the NEAR ecosystem. We're solving a critical challenge in Web3: how to transform traditional one-time grants into sustainable, ongoing capital for developers - where funding automatically grows with their impact and contribution to NEAR.
The Problem
- Traditional funding models (grants, VCs) require extensive time spent on proposals and pitches
- Developers want to focus on building, not fundraising
- Project impact is often measured subjectively
- Funding is typically front-loaded rather than tied to ongoing development
Our Solution
Protocol Rewards provides:
- Automated tracking of development metrics and project impact
- Merit-based rewards tied directly to contributions
- Transparent, objective criteria for funding
- Sustainable, ongoing rewards that scale with project growth
By automating the entire process from tracking to distribution, we enable developers to focus on what they do best - building innovative solutions on NEAR.
