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.

SOL hit 70$, what about NEAR ?

 According to a recent Moody's data report, by the end of 2021, expectations for Blockchain standards will have skyrocketed in light of the previous epidemic. The NEAR Protocol coin is the Sixty third-largest cryptocurrency, and it expects to make significant progress by 2022. With its alliances and partners on an expansion spree, the NEAR Protocol price may approach the $10 mark this year, based on past data, projected market patterns, and our crypto currency price prediction. NEAR Protocol is currently trading at $4.46, with a market capitalization of $1,494,953,201 and a 24-hour trading volume of $85,635,330. NEAR Protocol has a current circulating supply of 434,595,234. NEAR Protocol Price Prediction 2022 Following the same bullish trend, there are projections that the NEAR Protocol token would have an uptick in the coming year, i.e. 2022. The NEAR coin value might run parallel to the same bullish trend lines touching in the range of $12-$15 if the trending pattern i...

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...

NEAR Protocol Roadmap and why we cheer Near Ecosystem.

NEAR Protocol Roadmap Since the project's inception in late 2018, NEAR has been undergoing rapid development. NEAR began rolling out its primary net in April 2020, after various test nets in 2019. MainNet POA, MainNet (Restricted), and MainNet Community Governed were the three stages. Onboarding validators and network members were the emphasis of the MainNet POA. Staking was disabled, and token transfers were restricted to the NEAR Foundation. Staking was enabled in MainNet POA, but token transfers were not. The first NEAR vote was also held to determine when the final version of the main net would be launched. On October 13th, the NEAR community elected to launch the unconstrained MainNet. NEAR is currently in the process of giving over full management of the blockchain to NEAR token holders, as previously stated. The NEAR team is hoping to add a few more features during this "Post Mainnet" period. Although many of these are technical, the NEAR whitepaper also me...
