NEAR

NEAR Protocol is a scalable blockchain designed to provide the performance and user experience necessary to bridge the gap to mainstream adoption of decentralized applications. NEAR’s unique sharding protocol enables it to handle up to 100,000 transactions per second, making it one of the fastest blockchains in existence. Additionally, NEAR has developed an innovative Proof of Stake algorithm that allows users to stake their coins on a variety of tasks, including running nodes and contributing storage capacity. This allows for lower barriers to entry and makes staking more accessible than ever before. Combined, these features make NEAR one of the most promising blockchains for developers and businesses alike.
