NEAR Foundation launches Infrastructure Committee to allocate $4 million to support infrastructure projects

The NEAR Foundation launches the Infrastructure Committee, a new initiative to strengthen NEAR's critical infrastructure. The program allocates $4 million to support infrastructure projects, aiming to support the success of NEAR ecosystem projects in an open and transparent manner, and allocate funds and find projects. It is reported that critical infrastructure includes RPC nodes, relayers, indexers, bridges, wallets, load balancers, and oracles. In addition, NEAR should be properly listed on all available DEX tools; incidents and outages need to be easily reported and fixed. The committee is composed of ecological leaders and partners from the core NEAR organization. Its goal is to decentralize decision-making, enhance critical infrastructure, and simplify work to increase clarity and decentralization.
