What is NEAR Protocol?

NEAR is a sharded proof-of-stake layer-1 designed to scale by splitting the network into parallel shards, with a focus on developer and user experience (human-readable account names, low fees). NEAR pays fees and is staked.

What to know before trading NEAR

A layer-1 coin trades on the network’s adoption and on the whole market’s risk appetite. Check where it sits against Bitcoin on the heatmap before crediting a move to the coin itself: most altcoin rallies are Bitcoin rallies with extra leverage.

Whatever the coin, the arithmetic is the same: decide the dollar risk first, place the stop where the idea is wrong, and let the stop-loss calculator turn it into a size. If you are new, Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 come before any chart.
