The team behind nearpad
We're a small crew of builders, designers and degens who've spent years in crypto. We've launched tokens, run communities, and watched good projects die because the tools were too hard for normal people to use.
So we're fixing that.
Our vision
Build the best interface on NEAR and onboard millions of new people into the ecosystem.
NEAR already has the tech: fast, cheap, and built for real users. What it needs is a front door anyone can walk through. nearpad is that door.
Where we come from
We've been close to the NEAR ecosystem and the Foundation for a long time. We've watched how it's built, what it prioritizes, and where it's heading. That's why we chose to build here.
We also understand that privacy and confidentiality aren't optional anymore. NEAR is pushing hard on user-owned data and private, verifiable computation, and we're building nearpad with the same mindset. Your activity, your wallet, your business.
Who inspires us
Illia Polosukhin co-wrote the research that became the foundation of modern AI, then left Google to build a blockchain for everyday people. That mix of deep tech and real-world focus is what we aim for.
Alexander Skidanov brought serious engineering discipline to NEAR. He built a chain that holds up under load, and he's proof you don't cut corners on infrastructure.
Jeff Yan built Hyperliquid without VC money, shipped a product that beat centralized exchanges at their own game, and gave it back to the community. No hype cycles, just a product too good to ignore.
That's our bar. Build something people actually want to use, respect the user, and let the product do the talking.
How we work
We ship fast and let the product speak. We build for the person launching their first coin and for the trader who's tried every launchpad out there. And we stay close to our community, so if something breaks, you'll hear from us before you have to ask.
Why you haven't seen our faces
Because the product matters more than we do. Judge us by what we ship.
Want in?
We're always looking for builders, creators and partners who want to grow NEAR with us.
