NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is a layer-1 blockchain designed to work as a cloud computing platform operated by the community. It aims to solve issues like slow transaction speeds, low throughput, and limited interoperability that have been a challenge for other blockchains. NEAR tokens are used to pay network fees and can be staked to improve network security. Website : https://near.org/ Whitepaper : https://near.org/papers/the-official-near-white-paper X : @NEARProtocol
