@pedestri.near [Posted on DevHub](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=1583) ## Idea: Idea: NEARCON Hacker Travel Stipend - Pedro Destri Hello NEAR Community! I’m Pedro, the co-founder and CPO at Hack-a-Chain. Hack-a-Chain is a DevShop that has been working within the Near Protocol Ecosystem since March 2022. We are the tech team behind projects such as: * [Jump Defi](https://github.com/hack-a-chain-software/jump.project) * [The Murder Mystery Collective ](https://github.com/hack-a-chain-software/mmc.project) * [Opact Tickets (former hideyour.cash)](https://github.com/orgs/opact-protocol/repositories) It is important to mention that, [hideyour.cash was first implemented at NearCon 2022 IRL Hackathon](https://devpost.com/software/hideyour-cash), and it was the first ZK app on Near. It is completely open-source so anyone can use it and can create their own ZK dApp. This is our public ZK library for the Near Community, that we continuously improve: * [Near Groth16 verifier](https://crates.io/crates/near_groth16_verifier) * [Near Plonk verifier](https://crates.io/crates/near_plonk_verifier) * [Near Bigint](https://crates.io/crates/near-bigint) (with over 700 uses) During the NearCon IRL Hackathon 2023, our team intends will build a no-code dApp builder powered by BOS. The basic idea is to **create any dApp using BOS components just by dragging and dropping elements on a no-code builder.** Even though I work in product, I am also an engineer, and I will be working completely hands-on, turning our ideas into reality. We are a team from Brazil, and the **plane ticket itself is already over $1,000**. However, **I’m willing to pay for accommodation, food and the difference on the tickets if I have the $1,000 stipend** to contribute to travel expenses. We did the same last year and were able to deliver a great hackathon product and open-source code for the NEAR community. Our team has more experience within blockchain and NEAR than ever, and we’re really excited to go to NearCon IRL again, to meet friends, create a great product on the hackathon and help the ecosystem grow. Hope to be accepted for the stipend! **Total expense for the stipend: $1000** Thanks in advance! Pedro
