Near

Near is a layer-1 blockchain network designed to empower developers to build decentralized applications (dapps).

It emphasizes speed and affordability, aiming to be faster and cheaper than Ethereum while potentially outperforming some other leading platforms.

With full implementation, Near is projected to handle up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), supporting scalable dapps and web3 experiences.

The platform focuses on usability, security, and a developer-friendly environment for creating and deploying applications.
