The NEAR Protocol has launched the world's first fully trustless Ethereum bridge


The Ethereum <> NEAR Bridge will pave the road for cross-chain interoperability in the future. The Ethereum <> NEAR Bridge, a trustless, universal protocol that opens communication and interoperability between smart contract chains, has been launched by NEAR Protocol, a scalable blockchain-based, developer-friendly platform for decentralised apps. This is also the first bridge that does not rely on external authority for security, instead relying on consensus.

The Ethereum network has seen increased demand as a result of innovation in the decentralised finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) arenas, pushing transaction costs to new highs.

"By introducing the Ethereum <> NEAR Bridge, we are connecting the application and developer ecosystems between NEAR and Ethereum and enabling developers to leverage Ethereum assets and smart contracts within NEAR's fast, scalable and cost-effective environment," said Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of the NEAR protocol. “We can fuel and accelerate community growth by giving Ethereum users direct access to apps built on NEAR. We see the Bridge as a significant step in realizing our vision of a multi-chain, interoperable future, and our goal is to extend the same open access to other chains and expand the potential for further growth. "

To deploy, maintain, or use the Bridge, no additional authority is required. Without the consent of anybody else, anyone can build a new bridge, use an existing bridge, or participate in the upkeep of an existing bridge. The Bridge is also broad in that it allows any cryptographically proven information on NEAR to be used in Ethereum contracts, and vice versa. The Bridge's design is also fully decentralised and adaptable to future protocol updates on both sides.

The Bridge, which will be released in stages, will connect to numerous chains within the decentralised finance ecosystem by the end of the year.

 


 About NEAR Protocol

NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform based on blockchain technology that is ultra-scalable and developer-friendly. NEAR's platform delivers decentralized storage and compute that is both secure and performant enough to manage high-value assets like money and identity, placing the power of the Open Web in the hands of common people.

The NEAR Protocol employs a technique known as "sharding," which divides the network into several sections and allows for parallel computation. Parallelism dramatically increases throughput and allows the network to scale as the number of nodes grows. With NEAR, there is no theoretical limit to the capacity of the network.

Major NEAR contributors have won numerous world championships under the competitive program and have worked for major tech companies such as Google, Facebook and Niantic.

What Technology does NEAR Protocol use?

  The crypto community has faced a significant scalability difficulty as dApps have risen in popularity. The ability of a blockchain to handle a high number of transactions at an acceptable speed and cost is referred to as scalability in this context. Due to the huge demand for Ethereum, scalability issues have arisen. While some argue for scaling solutions to be implemented on top of Ethereum (Layer-2 solutions), other projects, such as NEAR, have chosen to develop totally new blockchains with distinct design. The deployment of sharding is the NEAR Protocol's proposed answer to this scaling challenge. Before going into detail about what this entails, it's important to understand the three primary tasks of blockchain nodes: they process transactions, relay validated transactions and finished blocks to other nodes, and store the network's state and history. As network congestion grows, these jobs become increasingly difficult for nodes to do. By breaking or partitioning ...

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...

How NEAR Went Carbon Neutral

  NEAR's Path to Carbon Neutrality Climate change, like the pandemic, is a worldwide catastrophe that is rapidly requiring the attention of the international community. It is a worldwide imperative that will necessitate a great deal of collaboration across various businesses and markets in order to assist reduce its effects. As a result, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021 is crucial. Silicon Valley isn't frequently singled out for its carbon footprint, yet each company contributes to a far bigger carbon consumption total. You're on the electrical grid if you're a web-based firm, which implies your platform is almost definitely powered by fossil fuels. NEAR has been focused on a computational alternative to PoW from its birth. There are no miners in this system, which is known as Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Validators, on the other hand, must stake a certain quantity of tokens in order to participate. Communities are rewarded for owning and cont...
