Near Protocol ($NEAR) is a native token of the NEAR ecosystem. This is a Layer-1 blockchain technology that uses Nightshade sharding technology to achieve scalability(scalability means the system’s ability to accommodate increasing demand).

This has led to high gas fees in carrying out transactions on these networks, and users have become discouraged. Near protocol uses a layer-2 solution called Aurora through Rainbow Bridge to carry out interoperability. This leads to faster payment and low transaction fees. With the growing community and use case of Near protocol, there is still more hype to be seen with this token.
