Best AI-powered integration with NEAR's Blockchain Operating System that leverages LLMs to create custom interfaces.
NEAR invites developers to build an AI-powered integration using the Blockchain Operating System. The BOS is NEAR's latest tech stack that allows developers to create decentralized frontends for any EVM compatible chain or their NEAR native smart contract. With BOS, you get the best of both worlds: decentralization & Web2-like UX/UI. Your application should leverage LLMs to create a custom interface inside the BOS or a way to interact with on-chain activity via a human interface. For example, you could feed BOS component code to a LLM and then fine-tune the model to generate code from descriptions.
NEAR’s Blockchain Operating System is the easiest way to build and deploy your frontend on-chain by creating a “React Like” component. All of the frontend source code you create with BOS is stored on-chain in a NEAR smart contract, making your frontend decentralized and open-source. All components on BOS are open source and composable, meaning you can use and remix thousands of different components by embedding them into your dApp.
A live working frontend component deployed to NEAR that integrates an LLM. A user interacting with the component should be able to complete transactions in addition to viewing data from a smart contract. They should also be able to interact in a meaningful way with existing contracts or the network. Examples could be: transferring assets, querying and aggregating on-chain information, and automatically creating or recommending components.

Leverage NEAR Social / Blockchain Operating System to notarize content and display reputation of a content author(s) across various media.
One of the clearest ways that Web3 can mitigate potential risks from the rising popularity of LLMs is in combating misinformation and deepfakes in the media with content provenance tracking. NEAR challenges builders to utilize the Blockchain Operating System and/or NEAR Social to create a content notarization and author reputation system to prove which pieces of content are legitimate and verified. For some ideas, check out this op-ed from NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin about this issue.
