Primary-source asset brief

What is NEAR Protocol?

NEAR is a smart-contract network that splits state and transaction processing across shards while presenting applications with a unified environment. NEAR pays gas and storage costs and is staked with validators that produce chunks and blocks.

Protocol fees are burned, while validators receive newly issued rewards and contracts can receive a portion of gas. The result is not automatically deflationary: net supply depends on the relationship between governance-set issuance and actual fee burn, as well as unlocks and treasury distributions.

Common misconception

Sharding does not create independent NEAR coins or separate user-facing chains; shards contribute to one protocol state and security model.

          History

          The chart uses stored 5-minute and hourly OHLC observations. It labels partial coverage instead of stretching it into a longer history.

          Our calculations

          Ranks, sector deltas and shares use the 50 assets in CryptoDigest’s published research universe. Turnover is volume ÷ market cap.

          Source boundary

          Supply and extended returns come from the live market-data feed; network facts link to project documentation. Nothing here is investment advice.
