The wallet is the door. NEAR is the city.
Connect Near Wallet to any of these apps with a single signature. They're a curated subset of the NEAR ecosystem — not exhaustive.
DeFi
On-chain finance built on NEAR — swaps, lending, liquid staking and yield. Connect once, sign in seconds.
NFTs & Creators
NEP-171 marketplaces, mint tools and creator platforms. Average gas to mint: ~$0.01.
Social & Infra
On-chain social graph, names, analytics and developer infrastructure that powers the rest of the ecosystem.
Two apps that define NEAR today.
The NEPs behind every dApp.
NEAR Enhancement Proposals are the on-chain standards every wallet, marketplace and DeFi protocol agrees on. Here are the four that matter most for end-users.
Fungible Tokens
ERC-20-equivalent for NEAR. Used by every token in the wallet.
Non-Fungible Tokens
NFT standard powering Mintbase, Paras and the wallet's NFT gallery.
Token Metadata
Decimals, symbol, icon — the metadata your wallet renders.
Off-chain Sign-in
Cryptographic sign-in for dApps without paying gas.
Why teams ship on NEAR.
1.2s finality
Sub-2-second blocks. UX feels like web2.
Sharded L1
Nightshade sharding scales horizontally as load grows.
Account model
Human-readable accounts and function-call keys are unique to NEAR.
Rust + JS SDKs
Write contracts in Rust or TypeScript — no Solidity gymnastics.
Predictable fees
Gas costs measured in fractions of a cent — not a moving target.
EVM via Aurora
Reach 10M+ Ethereum users without leaving the chain.
Building on NEAR? Plug into the wallet in 10 lines.
Near Wallet is a wallet-selector adapter. Users sign in once and your dApp gets a session key.
