Banyan Collective is Ecosystem as a Service for the NEAR Protocol. Banyan Collective is not the NEAR Foundation or a subset of NF. Banyan Collective is a grant recipient of the NEAR Foundation, team consists of past grant recipients and NEAR Foundation employees, but actions in no way reflect the NEAR Foundation. We were made to fill the gaps & supplement the need of the ecosystem's key stakeholders.
