Developers benefit from scalable smart contracts, low transaction costs, and built-in interoperability across chains.
Fast, Flexible, and Proven
NEAR’s sharded design has processed over 3.34B transactions, with an average block time of 1.09s and fees near $0.0002. It grows alongside your user base, ensuring high performance without high costs.
One Network, All Chains
NEAR’s Chain Signatures and Intents unify liquidity, assets, and cross-chain actions—so you can build advanced solutions with minimal friction.
AI-Native Infrastructure
NEAR’s AI-Native Infrastructure provides pre-built tooling, SDKs, and privacy-enhanced environments. Quickly launch scalable AI apps that leverage User-Owned AI, chain abstraction, and verifiable on-chain logic.
Quickstart
Set up your NEAR environment for JavaScript or Rust in one command—npx create-near-app@latest—and immediately explore chain abstraction, AI integration, and scalable dApp development.
AI Integration
Leverage NEAR’s AI features to build intelligent agents and user-centric solutions.
Chain Signatures
Streamline cross-network authentication and unify liquidity without bridging complexity.
Intents for Chain Abstraction
Implement Intents to connect users, AI agents, and assets across different networks.
Sharded L1 Blockchain
Deploy your app on NEAR’s scalable Layer 1 to handle high-volume transactions with robust performance.
