Near Protocol price analysis

 

Even as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fell, the Near Protocol price defied the odds and climbed to an all-time high. The NEAR price has risen for two days in a row and is now trading above $8.66, which is around 40% higher than the previous all-time high. According to CoinMarketCap, the platform has a total market capitalization of over $3.9 billion, making it the world's 45th largest cryptocurrency according to CoinMarketCap.

What is the Near Protocol?

The Near Protocol is the foundation for NEAR, a decentralised development network. The protocol is based on a proof-of-stake model that also incorporates sharding and other technologies.

The network, like Ether, Solana, and Polkadot, allows developers to create decentralised apps similar to those found in the DeFi and NFT ecosystems. The platform's key benefit is that it is relatively fast, has low gas prices, and is highly scalable.

The NEAR Protocol employs a method known as "sharding," which divides the network into many sections (shards) to allow for parallel transaction processing. This implies that the network's capacity has no theoretical limit. Transactions are batch-processed and executed on several shards at the same time while processing in parallel. One shard is theoretically its own blockchain with its own resources and validators, but they can interact and communicate with each other.

More developers have switched to the Near Protocol during the last several months. Maker DAO, Ampleforth, and CommonFund are a some of the network's most popular DeFi apps. Flux, a quick and inexpensive decentralised open market protocol, and Paras, a highly scalable NFT platform, are two others.

The price of the Near Protocol is stable, in part because the volume of transactions in the network is stable. The number of transactions in the last 24 hours has grown to more than 316k, slightly less than the month's high of 322k at the time of writing. As you can see in the graph below, the number of daily transactions is approaching an all-time high. In addition, the number of new accounts has reached an all-time high.

 

Still, we cannot exclude out the possibility that Fear of Missing out (FOMO) is a major driver of the NEAR price rise. Many retail traders have switched to the network in the hopes that it will be the next big thing, with the token's price soaring by more than 500 percent from its lowest point in July.

Price estimate for Protocol in the Near Future

The NEAR price has been in a strong bullish trend for the past few weeks, as shown on the daily chart. The coin has surpassed a key resistance level at $7.2345, which was the previous all-time high. It also soared over the black bullish pennant formation.

The coin has also risen beyond its 25-day moving average. As a result, while the upward trend may continue, the Near Protocol bullish run is likely to come to an end. If this occurs, the crucial support level at $7.2345 will be the next level to monitor.

History of Near Protocol

  Near Protocol was originally conceived as a machine learning platform. Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov founded it in 2017. Near.ai was the name at the time. They learned about smart contracts and cryptocurrency while investigating, which they found fascinating. They felt driven to learn more about cryptography and conduct more study. They began researching blockchain technologies on which to construct their applications. However, they came to the conclusion that no blockchain platform could match their needs and aspirations. As a result, they created Near Protocol to meet their internal requirements. Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov were explicit in their desire to create a hugely scalable blockchain platform that would allow developers to launch their strong DApps. As a result, they picked the Proof-of-Stake mechanism over Proof-of-Work. Illia Polosukhin holds a Master's degree in Applied Math and Computer Sciences from Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute of Nationa...

Near Governance Analysis

  The terms "Technical Governance" and "Resource Governance" describe how the protocol is updated and how its resources are allocated. Bug fixes, system parameter updates, and larger-scale changes to the protocol's basic technology are all part of technical governance. The allocation of grant financing from community-initiated sources is a common example of resource governance (like the allocation provided to the foundation). Because of the essential cooperation between possibly hundreds of different node operators all over the world, technical governance is particularly difficult. To participate in the most recent version of the network, each of those nodes must go through the upgrade process. Those who do not comply may find themselves (attempting to start) a new chain. As a result, it's critical that the upgrade goes smoothly and that the nodes affected accept the decisions made. Design Principles for Governance The following are the ways in which N...

How DeFi on Near is assisting in the fight against climate change

  Prior to the Proof-of-Stake platforms, blockchain technology, and climate action all appeared to be bound for worlds apart. NEAR, the world's first carbon-neutral PoS ecosystem, has become a hotspot for how different worlds might collide and, in the process, help tackle climate change. DeFi is currently reshaping money for millions of people. Its inventive new solutions have disrupted the borrowing and lending industries, providing much-needed momentum to one of Web3's — and NEAR's — core pillars: giving people power over their money. While NEAR's DeFi sector has recently thrived thanks to a lightning-fast and secure blockchain, we're continually thinking about what industries DeFi could transform and affect next. Even at this early level, we can see the potential for DeFi to play a role in financing climate-change-related initiatives. Climate Change Initiatives as a Resource DeFi climate investment, according to Yessin Schiegg, Chief Financial Officer of ...
