About Near Protocol

NEAR Protocol (ticker: NEAR) is a cryptocurrency designed to power the NEAR blockchain ecosystem, which focuses on scalability, user-friendliness, and enabling decentralized applications (dApps). It is built on a cutting-edge technology called sharding, which dynamically splits the network to handle high transaction volumes efficiently. This makes NEAR fast, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. NEAR is used for transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and governance participation, allowing holders to vote on network upgrades. Its ecosystem supports AI integration, cross-chain liquidity, and decentralized finance (DeFi) innovations, positioning NEAR as a versatile tool for developers and users. With its focus on accessibility and scalability, NEAR is paving the way for a decentralized future.

Part of me cannot wait until this alt market completely implodes or is regulated out of existence. It makes a fallacy of the ideas behind crypto and will only focus law makers on the damaging aspects of the space. (Most) Alts need to die.

Buying @Zcash is step one 🔥 Shielding it? That’s how you lock in your privacy. With Keystone + @zashi_app, you can shield and manage your ZEC seamlessly, while keeping it cold and secure. Use code 'EB2025' to grab a Keystone for $120. Privacy doesn’t wait. Neither should you.

9 ways to buy ZEC i) download Zashi mobile wallet from app store -> More -> Swap ZEC with NEAR Intents this will let you swap from basically any chain directly into shielded ZEC this is the most private and canonical way unless the ZEC is shielded on the Zcash blockchain, it is not private ii) use solswap(.)org, this is basically the same NEAR Intent infra above, but vanilla web UI iii) use dflow/jup/titan to swap into zenZEC (CA: JDt9rRGaieF6aN1cJkXFeUmsy7ZE4yY3CZb8tVMXVroS) you can then bridge back to Zcash using Zenrock's bridge if you want ^ iv) do the same above but with wrapped ZEC (CA:A7bdiYdS5GjqGFtxf17ppRHtDKPkkRqbKtR27dxvQXaS) you can again bridge back to Zcash if you choose you can also directly onboard via Moonpay for this one ^ v) use app(.)infinex(.)xyz — which is a cross chain non-custodial DEX vi) use the encifher team on Solana to swap into ZEC privately using Near Intents vii) if all else fails, use a CEX viii) hyperliquid official UI next week for spot ix) Grayscale ZCSH trust if on public markets shalom! obviously, buying any financial asset is risky, only do this if you've understood the risks and have a non-touristic time horizon

ETH is the ultimate privacy chain playbook that can never be replicated > become the most decentralized censorship resistant chain > aquire the entire globes assets to be dependant on it > go dark with zk if this plays out it will quite literally change the course of history in mt very down to earth humble as a bumble opinion clouted

only ETH can succeed in bringing meaningful privacy to the space, -too big to ban -only chain to already survive a direct government censorship attack (TornadoCash sanctions) -the community has the social solidarity (and modest validator hardware requirements resulting in geographical etc. diversity) to proactively resist regulatory pressure BTC, in particular, is highly divided about censorship resistance beyond the transparent money use case (see recent op-return debates) so will never add in-protocol privacy also, Ethereum has smart contracts, which means any privacy protocol on Ethereum can interop seamlessly with much less likelihood of leaking metadata (e.g., like with ZCash needing NEAR or Solana for DeFi because it doesn't have its own smart contracts)

Dive deeper into Near Protocol

In 2020, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector saw significant growth, leading to a surge of decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network. This surge underscored some of Ethereum's scalability challenges, pointing to the necessity for a more robust solution. Responding to this need, Near Protocol emerged as a community-oriented cloud computing platform aiming to mitigate these constraints.

What is Near Protocol 

NEAR is a community-driven cloud computing platform that adopts the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. With its user-friendly interface and smart contract capabilities, NEAR seeks to empower developers to effortlessly design and deploy innovative dApps and DeFi solutions. Furthermore, its unique design allows users to engage with dApps and smart contracts without requiring a wallet.

The Near Protocol team

Erik Trautman, an entrepreneur boasting Wall Street experience and founder of Viking Education, pioneered NEAR. Alongside him are co-founders Illia Polusukhin, a former Google employee, and Alexander Skidanov, an ex-Microsoft staffer. Under their leadership, NEAR has amassed a skilled cohort of developers, featuring International Collegiate Programming Contest gold medalists.

How does Near Protocol work

Utilizing sharding technology, NEAR improves transaction speed and volume. By distributing its computational load across multiple shards, each node runs only the relevant code for its assigned shard, optimizing scalability. NEAR's Blockchain Operating System (BOS), grounded in JavaScript, ensures developers can use a familiar programming language. The platform provides ready-made components, facilitating quicker product development. Moreover, users can swiftly access the system without needing to own or use cryptocurrency.

NEAR tokenomics

NEAR's native token, NEAR, was launched on October 13, 2020, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The token offers several use cases, from paying transaction gas fees to staking for rewards. Additionally, it plays a role in governance, data storage, and access to services and applications on the Near Protocol.

NEAR distribution

NEAR was distributed in the following way:

  • 17.2 percent: Community grants and programs
  • 15.23 percent: Seed round
  • 14 percent: Core contributors
  • 11.76 percent: Early ecosystem development
  • 11.4 percent: Operation grants
  • 12 percent: Community sales
  • 10 percent: Foundation
  • 8.41 percent: Venture round

Near Protocol: The road ahead

Created for robustness and efficiency, NEAR offers a platform free from intermediaries, permitting users to independently publish and host applications. This commitment to progress is reflected in their Q3 2023 announcement, heralding phase 2 of sharding to enhance the sharding process and improve scalability.
