To build a better future, you
need a better foundation.
With NEAR, your path as a developer is clear. Build apps quickly
using languages you already know (Rust and AssemblyScript)
Made with you in mind.
NEAR is a scalable smart contract platform that supports decentralized applications of almost any kind.
Leverage an ecosystem of components backed by cutting edge technology.
Hosted Wallet
The NEAR Wallet lets your users authorize low-stakes transactions without multiple pop-ups or, in many cases, without even holding tokens.
Instant Transfers
Transfer tokens directly between accounts on NEAR or bridge assets from other platforms to create next-generation financial applications.
Common Languages
Write contracts using TypeScript (a typed superset of JavaScript) or any other language which compiles to Web Assembly (Wasm).
Sharded Scaling
The network scales horizontally using the same sharding technology that powers databases behind the largest companies in the world.
Strong Consensus
NEAR uses the "Nightshade" consensus, which is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant algorithm designed for speed, simplicity and security.
Contract Rewards
Contracts are rewarded with 30% of the gas fees they generate, giving developers an immediate business model for apps and infrastructure.
Play with Code
Dig into some basic code examples.

Explore & Debug
Get down and dirty with the data to see every contract, transaction, receipt and more. New UI coming soon.

Bridge from Ethereum
Utilize Ethereum assets and smart contracts on NEAR—a fast, scalable, and low-cost environment.
