Perspectives on NEAR Protocol

Developer-friendly environment

NEAR supports popular programming languages like JavaScript and Rust, lowering the barrier to entry and making it easier for developers to build on the network.

EVM compatibility through Aurora

With the integration of the Aurora Engine, Ethereum-based dApps and smart contracts can be deployed seamlessly on NEAR, boosting interoperability.

Strategic partnership with Google Cloud

NEAR’s collaboration with Google Cloud enhances infrastructure support and provides developers with robust resources to scale their projects.

High scalability with Nightshade sharding

NEAR’s Nightshade technology enables efficient, scalable performance by distributing computation across shards, improving throughput as demand increases.

Uneven token distribution

Early funding rounds led to a concentration of tokens among large investors, raising concerns about potential centralization and influence.

Strong competition in Layer 1

NEAR competes directly with major Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum and Solana, making developer adoption and ecosystem growth more challenging.

Limited adoption so far

Despite its capabilities, NEAR has yet to reach critical mass in terms of dApps and developer activity, limiting its network effects and user engagement.

Validator centralization risk

With only around 215 active validators, questions arise about NEAR’s decentralization and whether network security could be compromised over time.
