Mert will also judge the upcoming NEAR Hackathon, alongside @ilblackdragon and builders and investors from a16z crypto, Electric Capital, Dragonfly, and more.
Build cross-chain markets and agentic apps on NEAR, with confidentiality as a core primitive. Submissions open November 1st to 14th.
Helius CEO @mert has joined the NEAR Foundation Council, NEAR Foundation’s governing body.
An early NEAR Intents user and leading voice on privacy, Mert brings an operator’s view to how NEAR builds and grows.
“For crypto to win, we need connected, unstoppable liquidity at planetary scale. A market of markets. Neither Solana, Zcash, or Bitcoin can win on their own, we must work together. And NEAR is how."

One of Mert's favorite use cases for Zcash is private donations to Roman Storm, where he says the majority of contributions on Storm's donation website are made in $ZEC
“One of my favorite use cases that we were talking about, now that we're talking about Satoshi, is Roman Storm”
“If you look at his donations on his donation website, the majority are in Zcash”
“That's a perfect use case of private money, which is politically sensitive donations to people who are fighting against the actual criminals who are the ones banning open source code”
“That's a particularly favorite use case of mine”

Not only do you get quantum unlinkability today, but it’s also the secret for scalable payments in tachyon!
This is how all “payment request” flows will work too
So it’s already in your wallets well before tachyon arrive
