About NEAR Protocol

NEAR is a layer 1 whose distinguishing feature is Nightshade, a sharding design that splits each block across shards so throughput grows with validator count rather than being fixed. Accounts are named rather than hexadecimal, which removes a whole category of user error. Issuance is a flat 5% a year, most of it to validators, while the large majority of transaction fees are burned — so net inflation depends on how busy the chain is.

NEAR transactions cost a fraction of a cent, and contracts can pay gas on the user's behalf, so many NEAR apps feel free to use.

NEAR has traded as an AI-adjacent layer 1 as much as a general-purpose one, which has made it unusually sensitive to that narrative.

Staking NEAR

Delegate NEAR to a validator from a NEAR wallet; rewards are paid each epoch.

Unstaking takes roughly two to three days — four epochs — before the tokens are liquid.
