Almost everyone has no doubt that blockchain technology has continued to transform how value is created and distributed. However, as blockchain technology continues to grow, so does its complexity. With the release of thousands of protocols and decentralized web components, it can be easy for users to get overwhelmed by the technology they can use to access the full potential of their on-chain experience.

WHAT IS NEAR BOS?

NEAR BOS is a common layer for browsing and discovering open web experiences that is compatible with any blockchain.

To streamline how builders can provide the best experience for their users, NEAR Protocol offers a robust foundation, ecosystem, and tools to create a Blockchain Operating System (BOS). BOS allows everyone to build out the best user experience that spans all blockchains and web3 protocols.

From an architectural perspective, NEAR BOS is composed of gateways to different virtual machines, including EVM and other L2, components that are layered on application protocols like Uniswap, and blockchains including NEAR and other L1 blockchains.

WHAT DOES NEAR BOS ENABLE?

NEAR BOS empowers developers to build and deploy decentralized frontend applications that communicate with multiple on-chain protocols. Users can quickly sign up without using crypto and have access to any protocol on any blockchain.

With the user experience at the center of NEAR BOS, users enjoy the usual web2 experience on web3. Users do not need to remember long seed phrases to use web3 applications and enjoy rapid access to diverse functionalities on web3.

NEAR BOS allows developers to build and scale with ease. Developers can leverage existing gateways, components, and protocols to deliver the best experience for their users.

It also allows users to easily navigate the entire web3 ecosystem from a single point, giving them a 360-degree view of what they can do on web3. Users can also moderate how their data is used and distributed, gaining full autonomy over their data and being able to monetize it.

CONCLUSION

NEAR BOS is pioneering a novel category of web3 applications, allowing anyone to discover and enjoy experiences on any blockchain.
