  • ⚖️ NEAR Protocol is a new smart-contract platform that delivers scalability and usability.
  • 🛠 Through sharding, it will linearly scale with the number of validation nodes on the network.
  • 🗝 Leveraging WebAssembly, TypeScript, more sane contract management, ephemeral accounts and many other advancements, NEAR finally makes using a blockchain protocol easy for both developers and consumers.
