As part of the growth and development of the NEAR Protocol, we're collaborating with this amazing project launching soon on this smart contract platform! Releasing an Early Access Pass NFTs on November 7 on the Paras Marketplace is basically a Web3 messenger dapp that rewards users for using the platform, similar to Play-to-Earn or Move-to-Earn dapps.
1. What is DMe?
is an upcoming decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app that rewards users for communicating and interacting with others while allowing the exchange of digital assets, monetization of chat groups, and true ownership of published content. As a blockchain-based project, decentralization of resources like data storage, moderation, governance, and user's ownership of data or content are core values in DMe.

2. What is an NFT?
Non-fungible tokens “NFTs” are a type of digital token or asset, much like baseball trading cards are a “real world” asset that holds a specific value. To understand the uniqueness of an NFT, it is essential to know how it is defined. First, non-fungible means that it cannot be changed once it is created and must be distinguishable from another thing. A token, as defined by Liechtenstein’s government in their Token and TT Service Provider Act, is “a piece of information…which can represent claims or rights of memberships against a person, rights to property, or other absolute or relative rights…” An NFT is a token that does not change over time and is generally represented by digital media files. In a more technical sense, an NFT is a piece of data that is owned by a specific address. To learn more, check this article from NEARs Legal Guild about NFTs
3. What does the Early Access Pass NFT do? Does it have a utility?
Depending on your pass, holders of a DMe EAP will have access to:
- Private beta testing;
- Receive an NFT PFP from our Exclusive Collection “DMessengers” when released;
- Participate in the airdrop of our upcoming governance and utility token $DIME;
- Content Moderator rank (Golden Emissary, Diamond Herald, and OG Messenger
- Data Validator license (OG Messenger
- Future benefits, perks, and privileges.
4. Why should I buy an Early Access Pass NFT?
By acquiring our EAP NFTs, you become an early supporter of an amazing blockchain project with a promising future. EAP holders will have exclusive privileges and perks inside DMe, as a token of appreciation for their early support. We want users to have a traditional web 2.0 experience like messaging with the benefits of Web3, and by developing a messaging app with blockchain features, we want users to be owners of the platform as well.
5. What do I need to acquire an Early Access Pass NFT?
You’re going to need a NEAR Wallet to connect to . To get started, go to https://wallet.near.org and click “Create Account
- Creating your Account
First, you need to choose your account ID. Each account created in the NEAR Wallet is appended by , which is part of the account ID. For example, choosing michaeljordan will create the michaeljordan.near account name.
2. Choose a Recovery Method
You have to choose your account recovery method. The NEAR Wallet is entirely non-custodial, which means account access is your responsibility. NEAR currently offer three methods of account access. After creating your account, you can choose to enable multiple methods
- Ledger Hardware Wallet
- Recovery (Seed) Phrase
3. Fund Your Account
Now you need to fund your account with NEAR.
To do anything with the NEAR Wallet, you will need at least 0.1 NEAR. There are several ways to obtain NEAR, including from popular exchanges.
Until the funds are received, you will see “Awaiting deposit” in the account status. Once the funds are ready, click the button “Claim my Account”, and your account is ready to use! You will be redirected to your “Wallet” page and can view your account details.
Once your NEAR wallet is created, and on the top right corner, connect your wallet to the website and you're ready to go!
6. Do you have a whitepaper?
We’re reviewing and proofreading our whitepaper right now and we expect to have it ready by the end of this year. Here's a quick glimpse of it:
7. Why the royalty is 20%?
Unlike other NFTs, these early access passes will function as inside the decentralized platform, and as such, we want to deter users from reselling the NFTs to others. We don’t want users to make a business of reselling EAP at a higher cost because these NFTs come with privileges attached to them (like becoming a Moderator or Validator) and we want users to be responsible when they’re using these perks.
8. Do you have a roadmap for your project?

- Launch Early Access Pass NFTs
