NEAR is a decentralized development platform that uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and will eventually feature a sharded architecture to scale transaction throughput. Its block generation scheme is called Doomslug and its proposed sharding design is dubbed Nightshade. These technologies will work together to scale the network and minimize congestion. NEAR has also been designed to be developer and user-friendly as it features a few key innovations to accelerate the application development and user-onboarding processes. The NEAR blockchain was created and developed by the NEAR Foundation. Its mainnet went live in April 2020, and network validators voted to unlock token transfers in October 2020. NEAR's bridge to Ethereum (called the Rainbow Bridge) launched in March 2021 and the native token NEAR is used for governance and to secure the network.

NEAR doesn’t implement delegation on the protocol level, like many other “Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) blockchains do. Instead NEAR allows smart contracts to stake, because in NEAR contracts and accounts are the same. Thus, if validators want to accept delegated stake, they must deploy a contract with specific rules of how delegation and reward splitting works and advertise that contract as destination to delegate.

Steakwallet supports all assets on NEAR, as well as offering a dedicated NEAR ecosystem page in the Explore Screen section of the wallet. This not only allows users to manage all their NEAR based tokens, but also let's them explore the best dApps the ecosystem has to offer.

With the launch of the Steakwallet Beta, finding the right yield opportunities across chains has never been easier. In our new explore screen, users will be introduced to all the relevant DeFi opportunities and dApps. On NEAR, this includes Essentials such as the Rainbow Bridge to transfer assets over from Ethereum and other blockchains, or AMMs like Ref Finance, but also more ways to earn than native NEAR staking, such as liquid NEAR staking via Meta Pool.
