About NEAR Protocol
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is a smart-contract blockchain designed to be fast, low-cost and easy for both developers and ordinary users, using a scaling technique called 'sharding' to handle many transactions. It emphasises user-friendly features such as human-readable account names and simple onboarding, and hosts decentralised finance, AI-related and consumer applications. Its native token, NEAR, pays transaction fees and can be staked for rewards. NEAR competes with Ethereum, Solana and other platforms on usability and scalability. It is a sizeable but highly volatile and high-risk cryptocurrency whose value depends on continued ecosystem growth.
