NEAR Protocol | CryptoSlate

1. Introduction

NEAR Protocol has positioned itself as a Blockchain Operating System (BOS) aiming to become an open-source community-run public cloud computing platform for decentralized applications (dApps).

As a BOS, NEAR aims to cater to three core audiences: developers, enterprises, and end-users, allowing them to build and interact with decentralized applications seamlessly across blockchain networks. To achieve this, the platform is pursuing partnerships and collaborations with other blockchains and traditional Web2 players like Ali Baba Cloud.
