Whitepaper – Blackdragon

Black Dragon

A Decentralised and Community-Driven NEP-141 token

A White Paper curated and published by the BLACK DRAGON Community DAO

INTRODUCTION

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 NEAR Whitepaper

Black Dragon: A Symbol of Deep Resonance in the NEAR Ecosystem

As NEAR continues to evolve, the protocol saw the emergence of the Black Dragon movement towards the commencement of Lunar New Year (2024, Year of the Dragon). This movement intends to reinvigorate the NEAR Ecosystem with a radically different approach to marketing and community-building.

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.

Black Dragon represents a unique blend of humour and insight within the realm of open-source blockchain technology and the token aims to

Engage the NEAR Ecosystem
Facilitate open-source development furthering NEAR’s Open Web vision
Foster the content-creation enabling radical growth of the NEAR Ecosystem
Further the values set forth by NEAR Foundation

“Fundamentally, all the “money” we’ve been talking about is just a line item of data stored on the blockchain with its own open API. But the database can store anything.”
