What is the NEAR Protocol Blockchain and its NEAR Token?
The NEAR Protocol blockchain is a competitor of Ethereum in the sense that it allows the development of decentralized applications. The main feature of NEAR Protocol is sharding. This technique makes it possible to divide the main blockchain into sub-blockchains which allows great scalability.
With its sharding, NEAR Protocol envisages a scalability of 100,000 TPS in the long term. According to the company's roadmap, the NEAR Protocol ecosystem should fully implement sharding by the end of 2022.
The native token of this blockchain is the NEAR. Currently, the price of NEAR token is $17.2. The price of the NEAR crypto is up by more than 25% over the last 7 days. This makes NEAR Protocol the best performing token among the global top 20. Its capitalization is estimated at more than 1.5 Billion Dollars, which ranks the NEAR Protocol 16th in the crypto world.
