NEAR Protocol — A Climate-Neutral Layer-1 so Fast and Affordable, You’ll Shard Yourself

Career-ending jokes aside, NEAR’s tech is quite impressive.

The digital assets space may appear crowded to the untrained eye.

But in fact, there’s more than enough space for anyone suited to their niche who is also consistent but capable of pivoting where necessary.

And there are some projects that may have flown under your radar that are worth keeping an eye on.

NEAR Protocol is one such project. The protocol has an intelligent and capable team, strong connections to navigate a multichain future, and a climate-neutral badge that keeps them on top of the broader narrative.

NEAR’s network activity is arguably low, but I suspect some significant developments are in store for this fast, affordable, developer-friendly, and EVM-compatible protocol.
