### How can I get involved? {#how-can-i-get-involved}
It depends what you are excited about doing! Do you want to develop on NEAR? Build tutorials? Answer questions? Expand our documentation? 

We recommend you to have a look at our [NEAR Community Page](https://near.org/ecosystem/community). If you are looking for something a little different, or you have questions, please reach out to the team on [Discord](http://near.chat/).

### How do I report a security vulnerability? {#how-do-i-report-a-security-vulnerability}
The most up-to-date information about security vulnerability reporting is provided [in the core repo](https://github.com/near/nearcore/blob/master/SECURITY.md).
