Keypom and Icebreaker Analysis

    About Keypom and Icebreaker

    To users, Keypom is a frictionless onboarding protocol that grants them access to the dapps and value within the NEAR Blockchain Operating System (BOS) without the fuss of wallet creation or interruption of on-chain interactions (i.e., transactions) with smart contracts. A simple action, like clicking on a link and immediately experiencing a dApp, is a familiar and straightforward process.

    On the flip side, developers and builders can leverage Keypom functionality—like lindrops—via its SDK to integrate a seamless and customisable onboarding experience for their users into their products.

    Keypom extends the use case of the access key tech stack to provide users with special, customisable access keys that can be later converted into a fully functional NEAR wallet. These special access keys are wrapped as shareable, clickable links, that allow you to create a human-readable username and immediately start experiencing the value of a product or service.


    The Icebreaker Dapp is an innovative way to attract new users to the NEAR ecosystem. By providing links that offer rewards in the form of $NEAR tokens, the Dapp encourages users to create new wallets and start exploring the various applications and services available on the NEAR blockchain.

    One of the key benefits of the Icebreaker Dapp is that it helps to lower the barrier to entry for new users. By providing a simple and straightforward way to earn rewards, the Dapp makes it easy for anyone to get started with NEAR, regardless of their level of technical expertise or prior experience with cryptocurrencies.

    In addition to offering rewards for new users, the Icebreaker Dapp also provides a range of other features and benefits. For example, users can track their progress and earnings over time, and can also connect with other members of the NEAR community to share tips, insights, and best practices.
