NEAR WIKI
This network has been built from the ground up to be the easiest in the world for both developers and their end-users while still providing the scalability necessary to serve those users. Specifically, NEAR is designed to make it easier to: Build decentralized applications, even if you're only used to building with "traditional" web or app concepts. Onboard users with a smooth experience, even if they have never used crypto, tokens, keys, wallets, or other blockchain artifacts. Scale your application seamlessly - the underlying platform automatically expands capacity via sharding without additional costs or effort on your part.
