What Is NEAR Protocol?

What Is NEAR Protocol?
The NEAR Protocol is an open-source platform used for building decentralized applications (dApps). It is an Ethereum competitor as it has a single environment with similar architecture typical for all dApps.
The NEAR protocol has its native tokens that can be used to pay fees for processing transactions and storing data. The protocol is a developer-friendly Proof-of-Stake blockchain that focuses on reducing costs for developers and end-users and increasing app scalability.

How Does The NEAR Protocol Consensus Work?

Nightshade Nightshade
Sharding is a structure that helps to cut transaction costs. Nightshade is the protocol that tackles sharding issues such as security, data availability, and state legitimacy.
Rainbow Bridge Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge is an application that facilitates back-and-forth Ethereum token transfer between NEAR and Ethereum.
Aurora Aurora
Aurora is a scaling solution that allows developers to launch Ethereum dApps on NEAR and connect their smart contracts and digital assets.

What Are The Prominent Use Cases of NEAR Protocol?

Decentralized Finance
What Are The Prominent Use Cases of NEAR Protocol?
NEAR makes entry to DeFi easier as the Rainbow Bridge launch has made DeFi available globally. All Ethereum assets can be used on dApps powered by NEAR.
Non-Fungible Tokens
What Are The Prominent Use Cases of NEAR Protocol?
NFTs store immutable records that prove ownership over digital assets. The NEAR protocol is the generation 3 blockchain that is notably faster than previous ones.
Decentralized Autonomous Organization
What Are The Prominent Use Cases of NEAR Protocol?
The NEAR protocol utilizes DAO to get rid of paperwork and allow the token holders to use advanced accounts that enable storing digital assets on the platform.

Why Build On NEAR?

Sustainable
The protocol offers an effective PoS network that enables the network’s sustainability and allows more efficient usage of blockchain-based solutions.
Cost-effective
The network puts up to 1000x lower transactions on users compared to other third-generation blockchains, while NEAR provides about 30% of the fees to the ecosystem’s growth.
Secure
The protocol supports integrity and provides high-level security across the ecosystem thanks to the burgeoning network of active validators.
Friendly
NEAR uses a standard DNS pattern to generate a human-readable account address. Hence, the platform is user-friendly for everyone including people new to blockchain.
Harmonious
Rainbow Bridge and EVM components help NEAR to enable interoperability among autonomous blockchains and increase the usability of the operating environment.
Pragmatic
To build NEAR smart contracts and make the entire process simpler, developers use basic community-supported languages like Assembly and Rust.
