Recently, the team announced that it is becoming the Blockchain Operating System (BOS). The BOS is an industry-first category: a common layer for browsing and discovering open web experiences, compatible with any blockchain.
In short, NEAR wants to become the main hub between web2 and web3 for users and developers.
Users will be able to search for applications built on different blockchains in one convenient place. Developers, on the other hand, will be able to incorporate their preferred components into their frontend with just a few lines of code, regardless of which blockchain they are built on.
These are just the first steps that are available now, and it will be very interesting to see if the team can fully realize this idea. Show Less
