NEAR: First Look  

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is a Layer-1 smart contract platform that launched in October 2020 with the aim of driving web3 adoption. NEAR’s focus is on user and developer friendliness, ultra-high scalability and multichain interoperability. A specificity of NEAR is that the design of its tokenomics directly incentivizes developer participation and contract creation by allocating 30% of transaction fees to a smart contract when used.

Staking Overview 

​​Staking tokens helps decentralize, secure, and maintain the health of the network. Staking provides a steady stream of rewards, independent of underlying token prices.

Staking your tokens is essential for the operation of the protocol. In return, your tokens allow you to earn new issuance (also known as inflation) subsidies, and transaction fees generated from the network.
