Are you weary of constantly scouring for the safest bridges and juggling between numerous dApps that are on different tabs? In a landscape where more than 30 Layer-2 solutions are competing for attention, user experience can be significantly compromised. This is why NEAR has introduced the pefect solution with its cutting-edge Blockchain Operating System (BOS).

What Does BOS Offer?

Operating as a chain-agnostic platform, NEAR (BOS) eliminates limitations, unifying DeFi applications for seamless user interactions. Imagine having the freedom to craft extraordinary experiences, akin to a conductor harmonising an orchestra. In this digital symphony, BOS brings together EVM blockchains, Layer 2 solutions, and even NEAR protocol. It can be viewed as the ultimate realisation of the Open Web experience.

Enter the NEAR x Polygon Gateway: Your Portal to zkEVM Ecosystem

Let’s take a moment to discus the QuickSwap zkEVM dashboard, a product of the partnership between Polygon and NEAR. The interactive gateway built on the BOS facilitates seamless interactions for Web3 users with Polygon’s zkEVM. It features the following top Polygon dApps:

  • Quickswap, Gamma, PancakeSwap, Balancer.

In essence, the QuickSwap zkEVM Dashboard acts like an all-encompassing app on your mobile. Leveraging NEAR (BOS), users can interact with different dApps on Polygon without ever leaving the tab they’re on. In this way, it simplifies the average DeFi experience, particularly for users wanting to interact with multiple dApps in a single session.

A Guide to zkEVM Gateway on BOS

Eager to dive into the revolutionary Open Web experience NEAR has to offer? Follow these steps:

  1. Visit NEAR.org and go to ‘Discover’ -> ‘Gateways’.
  2. Sign In or Register: If you have a NEAR account, log in. If not, create one.
  3. Choose zkEVM Gateway.
  4. Connect Your EVM Wallet: You will have both the NEAR account and your EVM address on one interface.
  5. Bridge to zkEVM: Now, you can transfer funds from Ethereum to zkEVM.
  6. Execute Token Swaps: Utilise the QuickSwap DEX for this.
  7. Provide Liquidity: Explore liquidity options on Gamma.
  8. Explore More: Check out other gateways and functionalities, including staking ETH on LIDO.

Future Horizons

Expect emerging Layer 2 networks, like zkSync and Mantle, to integrate and interact in a more fluid, modular manner when leveraging the BOS. Potential gateways and components on these networks will empower developers to create customisable applications, improving overall user experience.

By delving into the Quickswap zkEVM Dashboard via NEAR (BOS), you’re not only at the forefront of Web3 innovation, but you’re also positioning yourself for exclusive opportunities (such as potential airdrops, etc.)
