What is NEAR Protocol?

NEAR Protocol is a developer-friendly, sharded proof-of-stake blockchain launched in 2020, designed to be a scalable and low-cost platform for decentralized applications. It uses a unique sharding technology called Nightshade to process transactions in parallel across multiple shards, achieving high throughput. NEAR features human-readable account names and a developer experience that makes it accessible to Web2 developers transitioning to Web3.
