NEAR NEAR has more potential than Solana.
Infrastructure projects are now being created in the NEAR ecosystem. The active phase of the project's development has begun. My opinion is that we will see the price for 1 NEAR above $50 in the long run. NEAR is close to updating the ATH. The nearest strong resistance is around $20. NEAR has a strong team that is focused on cooperation in the market, not competition.
NEAR is used to pay for transaction fees and storage. NEAR tokens can also be staked by token holders who participate in achieving network consensus as transaction validators. NEAR Protocol is focused on creating a user-friendly platform.
The NEAR ecosystem announced a monumental $800 million in funding initiatives targeted at accelerating growth.
The announcement, which includes the $350 million in funding announced by Proximity Labs is designed to build on the momentum in the NEAR ecosystem over the last 12 months.
While NEAR is giving all communities access to this record amount of funding, it will be focusing on Decentralized Finance (DeFi) teams who are actively revolutionizing and reimagining the way we interact with money.
There are now more than 1.3 million active accounts on the network,
according to the statement. DeFi projects on NEAR have already hit a significant milestone of more than $150M Total Value Locked (TVL). NEAR has an ambitious goal to grow that number quickly and securely. NEAR is also actively looking for projects focused on NFTs, DAOs, and gaming.
NEAR’s next chapter is all about fostering growth by helping developers access best-in-class support and providing users with a frictionless experience using and navigating the web3 world. New funding helps accelerate this process.
Of the $800 million in funding, $100 million will be allocated to Startup Grant Pools. More than 20 startups will be identified and given $5M each in funding to redistribute to key stakeholders – the ecosystem ultimately decides who gets funding.
Some $250 million will be allocated to ecosystem grants helping existing projects further develop and scale. The remaining $100M will be allocated to Regional Funds: money allocated to foster the development of NEAR’s largest community regions in Asia, Europe, and the US.
It’s backed by venture-capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz’s AI6Z, Pantera Capital, Electric Capital, Dragonfly Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Blockchain.com, and Baidu Ventures.
Coming soon, Aurora IDO is an EVM built on the NEAR protocol that provides developers with a turnkey solution for running applications on an Ethereum-compatible, high-performance, scalable, and future-safe platform with low fees.
Stay tuned for future news, updates, and more.
Best regards,
