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.

The perp dex era is really booming. @bluefinapp is truly the leading perps platform on Sui. I am so excited to hear that the buyback will start in October. I think the community will definitely be talking about this. The opportunity for those who follow Bluefin early is even more obvious. I am looking forward to seeing how the buyback will impact the market. Aya – a DJ originally from Yokohama, now living in Singapore, will close the Token2049 afterparty at TUFF CLUB. I heard that there are already over 1,000 people registered to join, so hot! The party promises to have enough food, drinks and famous faces from AI and crypto. Not only @SentientAGI , PerleLabs, PrismaXai, Mira Network but also Polygon, Autonolas, SonicLabs and DonutBrowser will be present. Truly an AI and crypto crossover event that cannot be missed. I will definitely apply for tickets at the Luma link to be present at this explosive night. A new collection has just appeared on the @NEARProtocol ecosystem and I was really surprised. What's special is that it was built with Hot Craft, a tool that is very hot recently. Behind this collection is Rhea Finance - a pure NEAR DeFi protocol that I have been following for a long time. It feels like every time NEAR has a new project, the community has more opportunities to explore. I'm waiting for details about mint so I can join soon. Anyone interested can see the information below.

[ Organizing after checking the Dambi Calendar 2 ] Since KBW is a bit chaotic, I need to check the calendar to find the Yapping rhythm. Projects where I can receive rewards as September wraps up. [@burnt_xion ] Rank 11 => Rank 18 The rewards are significant up to the top 10. The original snapshot was on the 16th, but there hasn't been any announcement. Many Korean users are coming in, causing a backlog. ㅜ [ @SonicLabs ] Rank 46 => Rank 65 [ PortaltoBitcoin ] Rank 59 => Rank 34 Sonic and Portal took snapshots, but Sonic seems to be declining due to Season 2, while Portal is rising since no one is participating anymore. [ Aptos ] Rank 62 => Rank 54 I'm grateful it's rising better than expected. It seems I'll receive rent from Yaptos for the first time. + As expected, it's gradually increasing. I'm curious about how much I'll receive next month since a snapshot was taken, and it seems the team has high expectations for Decibel. [ NEAR => Rank 26 ] Rank 26 => Rank 28 It seems there hasn't been any reward distribution yet, and this month is the last, so it's uncertain how the rewards will be distributed. + NEAR is gradually increasing, and it seems a snapshot was taken, but I don't know how the rewards will be distributed. Since this is the last month, if I receive anything, that would be great. [ Peaq ] Rank 55 I'm not sure if this made it onto the leaderboard before the snapshot. Anyway, since it will continue next month, I'm still participating! There seem to be many people involved with various machines on the DeFIN side. ======= End of snapshots here Next remaining ones [ @Infinit_Labs ] Rank 49 => Rank 30 The price has risen significantly since being listed on Upbit, which has increased people's interest. The posts I wrote earlier are still going viral, maintaining a good ranking. It seems possible to receive a Chuseok gift set with the Korean allocation + global ranking. + Ongoing [ @AlloraNetwork ] 7D Rank 34 It didn't even make it into the 30D ranking. Korean users are strong, and since they got a taste at 0G, everyone is working hard.. Especially those up top, I can't keep up with them, haha. But since I've tasted it at 0G, if I receive anything, that would be great! + For newly onboarded projects... I need to take it step by step.! I couldn't secure an early position!!!! I plan to continue with Cysic!

[ Organizing after checking the Dambi Calendar ] [ @burnt_xion => 11th place ] The rewards are significant up to 10th place. I'm not sure if I can post it since it's tomorrow, but I'll try a bit more. [ @SonicLabs => 46th place @PortaltoBitcoin => 59th place ] I will continue. It seems difficult for Portal to rise. It would be great if it could enter the top 40. [ Aptos => 62nd place ] Thank you for rising better than expected. I might receive rent in Aptos for the first time. [ NEAR => 26th place ] It seems there hasn't been any reward distribution yet. This month is the last, and it's uncertain how the reward distribution will go. [ INFINIT => 49th place ] Real usage is the best, but with the introduction of V2, the entry barrier seems to have increased. I hope more diverse strategies come out in V2. ===== It's a fact that amazing people don't do this kind of thing. I have high expectations for profits, so I organized it. Dopamine flowing... September should be happy, right?!

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.
