NEAR ProtocolNEAR#36

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is a decentralized development platform designed to provide the perfect environment for DApps by overcoming some of the limitations of competing systems. Built with usability in mind, NEAR features a simple, secure, and scalable blockchain that can handle millions of transactions per second. The platform uses a unique sharding technology called Nightshade to achieve high throughput while maintaining decentralization. NEAR's developer-friendly tools and progressive Web3 approach make it easier for developers to build and deploy applications. The NEAR token is used for transaction fees, data storage, and staking to secure the network.
