6. What is a Near?
In simple terms, it’s a blockchain

7. What is different about Near?
It ultimately tries to improve on Ethereum

8. What is different about Near?
It focuses on usability and scalability

9. What is different about Near?
It uses proof of stake

10. What is different about Near?
It uses sharding

11. What is sharding?
Not every node has to run all the code

12. What is sharding?
Sharding splits the network so computation is done in
parallel (meaning no theoretical limit on the network’s
capacity)

13. What is sharding?
Specifically, this allows nodes to stay small enough to run on
small enough, cloud-hosted nodes

14. What is sharding?
Sharding splits the network so computation is done in
parallel (meaning no theoretical limit on the network’s
capacity)

15. What is sharding?
Sharding splits the network so computation is done in
parallel (meaning no theoretical limit on the network’s
capacity)

16. Languages
Near runs WASM (web assembly). But you can write smart
contracts in TypeScript or Rust (modification of JavaScript)

17. Some innovations
