Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rainbow Bridge on NEAR Protocol?
The Rainbow Bridge is NEAR Protocol's trustless, permissionless cross-chain bridge that connects NEAR to the Ethereum network. It allows users to transfer ERC-20 tokens, NFTs, and other assets between Ethereum and NEAR without relying on a centralized intermediary. This makes it easier for Ethereum developers and users to leverage NEAR's lower fees and faster speeds.
How can I stake NEAR tokens?
You can stake NEAR tokens by delegating them to a validator through the NEAR wallet or compatible wallets like MyNearWallet. Staking helps secure the network and in return you earn staking rewards distributed as a percentage of the staked amount over time. There is no minimum lock-up period for delegated staking on NEAR, giving you flexibility to unstake when needed.
What is NEAR Protocol?
NEAR Protocol is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform designed for scalability and ease of use. It uses a sharding technique called Nightshade to process transactions in parallel, making it faster and cheaper than many other blockchains. NEAR is built to support decentralized applications (dApps) and is developer-friendly, with support for Rust and JavaScript smart contracts.
How does NEAR Protocol achieve scalability?
NEAR Protocol achieves scalability through a sharding mechanism called Nightshade. Rather than every node processing every transaction, the network is split into multiple shards that process transactions in parallel. This allows throughput to increase as the network grows, enabling NEAR to handle thousands of transactions per second with low fees.
