Kalkulators Near Protocol uz Eiro — tiešraides kurss

NEAR scales by splitting the network into "shards" that process transactions in parallel, a design called Nightshade. This raises capacity without every validator having to process all activity, with sub-second block times and very low fees.

NEAR uses human-readable account names (like "name.near") instead of long hex addresses, aiming for an experience closer to a normal app. Its current bet is "chain abstraction": letting users manage assets across several blockchains from a single account, hiding the complexity from the user.

The NEAR token pays fees, is used for staking and grants a governance vote; part of each fee is burned and another part pays the developers of the contracts used. As a layer-1 platform it competes with many other fast chains, so its value depends on attracting real apps and users.
