What is NEAR?

NEAR Protocol is a layer-one blockchain that was designed as a community-run cloud computing platform. It does away with low transaction speeds, low throughput, poor interoperability, and other limitations facing competing blockchains.

It was founded by Erik Trautman, an entrepreneur with experience on Wall Street and founder of Viking Education. 

His co-founders were Illia Polosukhin, who has more than ten years of industry experience, including three years at Google, and Alexander Skidanov, a computer scientist that worked at Microsoft and went on to join memSQL, where he became the director of engineering.

NEAR uses a variation of the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism called Doomslug. Doomslug is based on two rounds of consensus, where a block is considered finalized as soon as it has received the first communication round.

This allows for near-instant finality by having validators take turns producing blocks rather than competing directly based on their stake.
