$NEAR Protocol is today’s Coin of the Day.
It launched in 2020 with a total supply of 1 billion tokens.
People use NEAR for paying transaction fees, staking, governance, and running dApps.
The biggest strength is its sharded Layer-1 design called Nightshade.
This lets the network handle high speed, keep fees very low, and stay friendly for developers.
Many builders like NEAR because it makes Web3 apps easier and cheaper to run.
Overall, it’s a solid project focused on real scalability.
Worth keeping an eye on.
