The project is considered fundamental, and based on tokenomics and historical data, there is a potential for significant growth, even matching a 10x increase during the peak of the next bull run. More


NEAR has quite an impressive website that goes really well with their goal of bringing usability. More

I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars. Near has borrowed a lot of the best elements from some of the leading blockchain projects and incorporated it into their own to create a very solid product. More

I have mixed feelings about the NEAR Protocol idea. While there are some positive aspects to the project, there are also certain concerns that I believe need to be addressed. More

When we take a closer look at the on-chain activity of NEAR in the context of its massive $500 million total fundraising, it becomes apparent that the project, in its current state, to put it lightly, screwed up. More

My assessment of NEAR's tokenomics:
Pros:
- Offers excellent utility such as paying transaction fees, on-chain data storage, governance, and validator rewards. More


- Easy to understand what it is
- Latest news post are very active.

- Telegram: Extremely active
- Twitter: Quite active. 50+ retweets and comments per tweet. More

Active telegram, big twitter following, has discord, wechat and everything else necessary covered.

Current generation of Layer 1 solution tackling scalability (through sharding) and interoperability (layer 2). More

NEAR established in 2017, Near Protocol boasts a formidable team of over 200 members, including a core group with extensive experience who were previously part of major corporations and organizations like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Consensys, and more. More

NEAR Protocol operates on the basis of Public Proof of Stake and Sharding mechanisms. In other words, NEAR functions as a community-operated cloud platform. More

Recently, the team announced that it is becoming the Blockchain Operating System (BOS). The BOS is an industry-first category: More
