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.

1️⃣ On August 22, I started recommending @NEARProtocol and $NEAR At that time, the price was around 2.5 - 2.6, and now it peaked at 3.3, and now it's still at 3, with a profit of about 20 - 30%, very stable and appealing. 2️⃣ Moreover, in the past few days, despite the overall market being noticeably sluggish, we can see that the Near token is very strong, that kind of solid and robust. It's clear: the team is making moves + the secondary market is holding strong is consistent. 3️⃣ However, I do not recommend everyone to sell; this project has multiple launches planned for the Token Season in Q4. 4️⃣ There should be good expectations for the entire Near ecosystem. Intellex, this quarter, there are only a few days left, it should be soon. VEAX, this quarter, it seems to have been delayed. PAI3, this quarter. ConsumerFi, Q4. VIBES, Q4. Open Forest Protocol, Q4. Fraction AI, end of Q4. NEAR Mobile, Q4. The intensive launches will definitely help the token take off. Ecosystem flies ➡️ Ecosystem projects increase ➡️ Near coin takes off ➡️ Ecosystem flies. 5️⃣ I also looked at the recent 1-2 months of TVL data, which clearly shows a steep upward trend, and this upward trend has not been broken. 6️⃣ Personally, I will hold at least until the end of 2025 or early 2026. I will see how to move after the entire Token Season ends. And currently, it seems that this pullback should be temporary; for Q4, it should be an upward trend. At Near's peak, the price could reach over 20 U; currently, it's at 3 U. Even if it doesn't return to its peak, there should be a chance to get back to 10, so stay alert, keep building, and stay focused.

I went to research some data on @NEARProtocol. I feel that we are about to see a surge. I am thinking through multiple dimensions such as on-chain TVL, active address count, on-chain transactions, and daily contract deployment volume. I won't display all the data to everyone. I'll just share some of my personal expectations for the future. 1. Near's TVL is expected to grow to a scale of 500 million to 1 billion USD this year. This amount won't be too much because Near's core focus is on AI. Their Twitter bio already states it's an artificial intelligence blockchain, haha. 2. Other data will see explosive growth. The current active address count is between 300,000 and 500,000, which could scale to 3 million to 5 million. The transfer data is around 5 million to 6 million daily, and I think it should be around 30 million to 50 million in the future, which seems normal. Contract deployment data should reasonably be over 1,000 daily. ➡️ Why do I say this: 1. I am optimistic about the narrative rhythm of AI in the future; the entire market will continue to evolve from AI. 2. I believe in Near's ability to make things happen in the AI space; they have been good at creating buzz before. 3. The main direction is to focus on the $NEAR coin itself and see if there is an opportunity for a surge. From a K-line perspective, it seems to have formed a bottom. Also, from an ecological perspective, especially regarding AI projects. Mainly these four: @intellex_xyz, @ConsumerFi, @FractionAI_xyz, @Pai3Ai. I feel like one of them will emerge as a leader. Everyone else can pay attention to their own interests; recently, it should be considered a healthy correction, and we can look forward to the market in the second half of the year.

. @NEARProtocol The three-month (6.24-9.24) Kaito Earn campaign is coming to an end in two days! near protocol promises to give the top 30 yappers on the 100D list every month worth 33.3K$ $NEAR At present, there are only 59 people on the 30D list? ! And there are 39 people at the children's table: If you are on the list, you will get money The 59th and last place mindhare is 0.01%, it is recommended that the Mao Party take advantage of the last two days to sprint a few articles, maybe which one will be recognized by AI to be on the list! The 30D list still has many mouth-to-mouth kings in our Chinese region @one_snowball @0xKingsKuan @wang_xiaolou @zkgoudan @Baili1018 @0x_xifeng $NEAR The recent trend of currency prices has been very strong, from 2.3U in early September to the highest 3.3U on the 19th, an increase of nearly 50%! This should be due to the fact that the pre-staking of $NPRO launched by NEAR on the 15th has a lot to do with it, and the earlier the bounding carve mechanism is staked, the larger the share will be obtained, and it is also FOMO Many people buy $NEAR to stake to get $NPRO as soon as possible!

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.
