A White Paper curated and published by the BLACK DRAGON Community DAO
This whitepaper outlines the vision behind the creation of the $BLACKDRAGON NEP-141 token (hereinafter also referred to as “Token” or “Black Dragon”), which was introduced to the NEAR ecosystem in December 2023.
Most importantly, this whitepaper intends to highlight the significance of NEAR Protocol’s Open Web Stack and invites the reader to further discover the powerful NEAR Protocol technology and the role Black Dragon can play in its road to mass-adoption.
“NEAR is a decentralised application platform which runs atop the NEAR Protocol blockchain. This blockchain, which runs across hundreds of machines around the world, is organised to be permissionless, performant and secure enough to create a strong and decentralised data layer for the new web.”

The Black Dragon symbolism holds a special place in the hearts of the NEAR community, primarily as a tribute to Ilia Polosukhin (known as root.near or @illiblackdragon) — the pivotal co-founder of NEAR and one of the main advocates for the Open Web.
