Ethereum
A public blockchain for programmable applications and assets
Blockchain infrastructure for cross-chain applications and AI agents

NEAR is a blockchain platform for developers building decentralized applications and services that work across multiple networks. Its sharded architecture distributes transaction processing across parts of the network, while smart contracts let teams define application logic and manage digital assets. Developers can use Rust, testnet accounts, and web application guides to build and test an initial product.
The wider ecosystem includes NEAR Intents for cross-chain asset swaps and NEAR AI for private inference and agent infrastructure. Near.org brings these components together, helping visitors find developer documentation, explore the technology stack, and choose an entry point for building an application or using services built on NEAR.
