NEAR Network
1 storyA distinctive element of NEAR Network is sharded state execution, which supports its role as a sharded proof-of-stake Layer 1. The wider design brings together WebAssembly smart contracts, Doomslug and Nightshade consensus, and NEAR transaction fees, connecting protocol mechanics with the network's principal use cases.
Changes to NEAR Network's sharded state execution, WebAssembly smart contracts, or Doomslug and Nightshade consensus belong here when they alter how NEAR Network handles node operation, security, interoperability, or application deployment. For NEAR Network, market-only coverage of NEAR is separate from sharded state execution; application stories belong here only when they alter WebAssembly smart contracts or Doomslug and Nightshade consensus.
