What is a Near Protocol node?

A Near Protocol node is a participant in the Near Protocol network that maintains a copy of the blockchain and helps process transactions and secure the network.

How to run a Near Protocol node?

To run a Near Protocol node, you need to set up the necessary software and hardware requirements, install the Near software, configure the node settings, and connect it to the Near network using the appropriate network ID and configuration parameters.

What is a Near Protocol full node?

A Near Protocol full node is a type of node in the Near Protocol network that stores a complete history of the blockchain, including all past transactions and states, and participates in the consensus process.

What is an RPC in Near Protocol?

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) in Near Protocol is a communication protocol that allows developers to interact with the Near Protocol blockchain remotely. It enables them to query data, submit transactions, and access various functionalities of the protocol.

How does the Near Protocol API work?

The Near Protocol API provides a set of methods and endpoints that developers can use to interact with the Near Protocol blockchain. It allows them to retrieve blockchain data, submit transactions, and perform other operations by making HTTP requests to the API endpoints provided by the Near Protocol.

NEAR APIS FOR DAPPS

Near Protocol RPC: Why should you choose it?

Near Protocol (NEAR) is a programmable blockchain (smart contracts platform) for various types of decentralized applications. It was launched in mainnet in April, 2020 after two years of testing.

NEAR RPC API connects DeFis, NFT marketplaces, trading bots to a pioneering sharded blockchain, i.e. network that includes an ecosystem of interconnected sub-blockchains (shards).
Near Protocol leverages Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus. The blockchain migrated to 100% community-driven governance in September 2020, and activated token transfers in October 2020.
Starting from March 2023, NEAR RPC nodes fuel the first-ever Blockchain Operation System (BOS), a Near Protocol’s gateway portal for Web3 apps.
