NEAR 101
NEAR Protocol is a sharded Layer 1 blockchain using a Proof-of-Stake. Launched in April 2020, the network is the brainchild of former Google engineer Illia Polosukhin and Microsoft developer Alexander Skidanov.
Although NEAR is a blockchain network in its current iteration, it started life as a machine learning project exploring program synthesis—in layman’s terms, teaching machines to code. Polosukhin and Skidanov’s research eventually led them to programmable smart contracts and crypto payment technology in early 2018. By August, the pair had switched gears, leaving behind program synthesis to build NEAR Protocol full-time.
NEAR’s technology solves the blockchain trilemma – creating a scalable, decentralized, and secure blockchain without compromise. Transactions are fast and cheap, and it incorporates cutting edge technology such as dynamic re-sharding based on user demand.
