@aapecherkin.near [Posted on DevHub](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=1493) ## Idea: NEARCON23 Hacker Travel Stipend - Anton Pecherkin GM Near DevHub community! My name is Anton, and I have over 5 years of experience in blockchain and dApp development. I have won with a team of 35+ hackathons. For the past 2 years, I have been actively involved in the NEAR ecosystem, participating in hackathons and co-founding the B4B.app, a native project on NEAR and Aurora. B4B is a Web3-native marketplace for influencer marketing, leveraging social, reputation, and on-chain data. I would like to attend NEARCON to connect with developers working on ecosystem projects and participate in the NEARCON hackathon. During the hackathon, I aim to develop a SocialFi product implementation with Near.Social statistics and BOS integration. Afterward, I plan to further expand on the implemented idea with my project. # Travel Itinerary Origin: Batumi, Georgia Destination: ETH Lisbon + Nearcon23 Dates: November 3-10, 2023 Flight example from Batumi to Lisbon: https://www.skyscanner.pt/transport/flights/bus/lis/231102/231111/?adultsv2=1&cabinclass=economy&childrenv2=&inboundaltsenabled=false&outboundaltsenabled=false&rtn=1&stops=!direct,!twoPlusStops ~$540 **Estimated Basic Expenses** Flights: $540 Additional transfers: $50 Accomodation: $250 **Total: $840** # Past Hackathon Experience One of the criteria outlined for the stipend has been previous hackathon experience.
