Near Developer Centric Layer 1

NEAR: A Mass Adoption Platform for Blockchain Our approach in general is about kind of making a infrastructure and a platform, that mass adoption applications can actually then be built on. Right. And so kind of our origin stories, you know, I was actually trying to build something on Ethereum. And realizing that like, it's not possible even that at like back, then it's way lower prices and way lower kind of demand that was back then. And really trying to focus on how do we build kind of a developer platforms that developers are excited, you know, to build on kind of innovative solutions, how to build a platform infrastructure, a blockchain, that normal users, right, people who do not know what private keys are, can kind of just pick it up and use, right. And obviously, kind of the scalability issue, this thing that everybody's talking about, like that's just a part of the story, because like, developers should not worry about that, you know, the capacity of their network will run out after some application hits mainstream. So so really kind of how do we solve this problems and provide something that is like friendly, like, and actually introduces, like this concepts that we all believe in to mass adoption in a way that really provides a better product to really kind of product focus, you know, vision of the future of like that three becoming kind of dominant platform, but through better products, not just philosophy. Decentralized technologies will be powering kind of future of software. And one of the core reasons why I believe in that is because by giving control back to the user, by giving control back to the kind of business or whoever generates and controls original kind of data and action, you actually allowing all applications all things to cooperate, quick to interact, right. And the decentralization is your guarantees that all those things will actually work together, right, the open source, open state, all those things that we kind of like to say, like those are guarantees of really things working for the user. And so this is just a better way to build software, this is a better way to build applications.
