NEAR Protocol - scalable and usable blockchain

⚖️ NEAR Protocol is a new smart-contract platform that delivers scalability and usability.
🛠 Through sharding, it will linearly scale with the number of validation nodes on the network.
🗝 Leveraging WebAssembly (via Rust and AssemblyScript), more sane contract management, ephemeral accounts and many other advancements, NEAR finally makes using a blockchain protocol easy for both developers and consumers.
