Explore Omni Bridge's technical architecture The Omni Bridge is a sophisticated cross-chain bridge infrastructure that enables secure and efficient token transfers between NEAR Protocol and various ot

Using data apis to retrieve the history of auctions In our frontend, we can easily display the previous bid since it's stored in the contract's state. However, we're unable to see previous bids to the

Learn how to write and run integration tests for NEAR smart contracts using Sandbox testing and realistic blockchain environments. Integration tests deploy your contract to a local NEAR Sandbox and cr

Learn about Lockup contracts on NEAR – smart contracts that escrow tokens with time-based release schedules, supporting lockups, vesting, staking, and termination by foundation. Lockup contracts act a

Learn what is localnet on NEAR. Every blockchain is essentially a peer-to-peer network made up of many computers, called nodes, that communicate with each other, share data and verify that transaction

Learn about blockchain indexers, how they work with NEAR Protocol, the difference between pull and push models, and when to use indexers for data querying. Here you will find everything you need to kn

Learn how NEAR transactions are executed and finalized Transactions are constructed by users to express the intent of performing actions in the network. Once in the network, transactions are converted

Learn about Lockup contracts on NEAR – smart contracts that escrow tokens with time-based release schedules, supporting lockups, vesting, staking, and termination by foundation. Looking to manage toke

Learn about NEP-366 meta transactions on NEAR, allowing users to execute transactions without owning gas tokens by using relayers to cover transaction fees. NEP-366 introduced the concept of meta tran

Learn how to deploy a MultiSig contract and vote on multi-chain proposals using the Abstract DAO. Now that we understand how the Abstract DAO works, it is time to use it in within an organization. Let

A unique account model that supports multiple types of addresses, access keys, and smart contracts. Users participate in the NEAR ecosystem through their NEAR accounts. These accounts are identified b

Let users sign NEAR transactions with a Web2 login — Google, Apple, email, or passkeys — with no seed phrase, secured by MPC. NEAR Auth lets your users sign real NEAR transactions using the Web2 ident

Interact with NEAR through the terminal. The NEAR Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool that enables you to interact with the NEAR network directly from the shell. Among other things, the NEAR CLI en

Learn how data flows in NEAR Protocol, including transactions, receipts, shards, and cross-shard communication. NEAR Protocol blockchain data flow might be a bit tricky at a glance. But it is pretty s

MCP Ready LLMs.txt Ready NEAR Developer Docs Build contracts in Rust, create Web3 apps, and sign transactions on any chain from a single NEAR account. Deploy your First Contract Create, test and deplo

Learn how the intents protocol works NEAR Intents is a multichain transaction protocol where users specify what they want and let third parties compete to provide the best solution. This works for eve

Learn how Abstract DAO enables a single vote on NEAR to execute actions across multiple EVM chains. Many multi-chain organizations deploy copies of the same smart contract across multiple EVM chains,

Use NEAR to pay transaction fees, cover on-chain storage, and secure the network through staking. NEAR (Ⓝ) is the native token of NEAR Protocol. You can transfer it between accounts, use it to pay for

Explore the different networks available in NEAR NEAR Protocol operates on several networks, each with its own independent validators and unique state. These networks are designed to serve different p

Node configuration, archival history, health checks, and network upgrades for exchange integrations. NEAR nodes provide RPC access to the network: exchanges use them to query balances, read blocks and

Learn how NEAR smart contracts can delegate heavy or impossible-on-chain work to verifiable off-chain computation running inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Smart contracts run inside a det

OutLayer is a verifiable off-chain compute platform for NEAR. Run Rust/WASM code inside Intel TDX enclaves with built-in VRF, secrets, MPC vaults, and payment keys. OutLayer is a verifiable off-chain

Remember to make your callbacks private In NEAR, your contract can call a function from another contract, and then schedule a callback to handle its result. The callback function needs to be "public"

Enable users to login with their social accounts (Google, GitHub, etc.) Privy is a third-party service that allows users to login using their email or social accounts (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc).

Reduce contract size and create reproducible builds that users can verify against the deployed code. In this page, we will explore strategies for reducing the size of smart contracts on NEAR. This is

Learn how to retrieve the genesis and current protocol configurations using the NEAR RPC API. The RPC API enables you to retrieve the current genesis and protocol configuration. Quick Reference | Meth

Overview of tools and methods for interacting with the NEAR Protocol. NEAR Protocol provides multiple ways to interact with the network — from low-level JSON-RPC calls to visual explorers and wallets.
