NEAR Protocol is not just a regular blockchain, it is the Blockchain Operating System (BOS) for an Open Web. With NEAR, you can create and explore decentralized apps (dApps) and play a role in shaping the future of the internet today. The NEAR Blockchain Operating System (BOS) allows you to effortlessly develop and distribute innovative dApps across multiple blockchains, while contributing to the growth of an open web.

Trusted by the most innovative teams in the Web3 community, NEAR enables you to go beyond just moving the needle – you can now create a new gauge. The BOS is designed to make app development easy and accessible. It utilizes JavaScript as its programming language, allowing you to leverage your existing skills to build engaging applications.

Additionally, you can quickly build your own app by exploring and combining community-built components or start from scratch. NEAR also prioritizes user onboarding, making it possible for you and your users to onboard without any crypto knowledge. Accessibility is key to fostering a more open web.

With the NEAR BOS, you have complete control over app distribution. You can directly publish, store, and host your app on-chain, eliminating the need for intermediaries. This grants you the freedom to connect directly with your users and build on any chain, including Ethereum, leveraging the speed, low cost, and scalability of the NEAR protocol.

Furthermore, NEAR allows you to meet your users wherever they are by offering an embedded blockchain experience that can run on any browser, app, or connected device capable of running JavaScript. Join the vibrant NEAR community and be part of a collaborative environment that values a free and open web.
