Discover how you obtain instant access to a NEAR node and continue building an Open Web world. Get your NEAR API key and develop on blockchains with NOWNodes
NEAR Protocol is a layer-1 blockchain network that achieves scalability and security through its distinctive Nightshade sharding implementation. With a keen emphasis on user-friendliness, NEAR is developed and designed to offer an intuitive and accessible experience for both developers and users. One of the fundamental components of the NEAR ecosystem is the full node, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the network's integrity and facilitating seamless interactions.
Recently NEAR introduced BOS - Blockchain Operating System - a developmental ecosystem and a social platform, enabling users to deploy and explore novel applications. It streamlines the process of creating Web 3 applications by offering user-friendly onboarding, robust security measures, and effortless interaction across various blockchain networks.
NEAR Protocol mainnet is designed to scale efficiently without compromising on performance. Its sharding mechanism divides the network into smaller pieces, allowing for parallel processing of transactions and higher throughput.
NEAR Protocol supports WebAssembly, enabling developers to build applications that are compatible with multiple blockchains and platforms.
NEAR uses a unique mechanism called "Nightshade" that separates transactions and computation, resulting in lower gas fees and more efficient use of network resources.
By accessing a NEAR node, developers and businesses can benefit from direct access to the NEAR Protocol mainnet, ensuring the highest level of security, stability, and speed. With a NEAR node, you can enjoy seamless integration of NEAR JSON RPC within your crypto project, power your infrastructure, and be done with NEAR Protocol node maintenance in less than one hour.
By choosing NOWNodes NEAR RPC node for your needs, you will receive unparalleled reliability, guaranteed uptime, and 24/7 professional support, allowing you to focus on what matters most: building innovative blockchain solutions.
You can obtain access to a NEAR RPC node using your personal NEAR API key, which you need to create on your profile page. Once you have your NEAR API key, all that's left to do is to head to the official documentation, where you can browse all supported methods to establish a connection.
