What is Near Protocol?

NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to make apps usable on the web. The network runs on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Nightshade, which aims to offer scalability and stable fees. NEAR, the native utility token, is used to pay transactions fees, running validator nodes on the network and governance votes.
