BitMart, a premier global digital asset trading platform, is pleased to announce official integration with the NEAR Protocol. NEAR, the native token of the NEAR Protocol, was listed on BitMart on July 22, 2021. 
NEAR is a secure decentralized application platform that is built atop a public proof-of-stake blockchain. As a smart contract platform, the protocol also supports interoperability with Ethereum and other decentralized application platforms.
To increase transaction speed and capacity, NEAR Protocol uses a new sharding mechanism called “Nightshade'', which splits the network into multiple pieces so that the computation is done in parallel. Parallelism can increase throughput and allow the network to scale up as the number of nodes increases. With NEAR, there isn’t a theoretical limit on the network’s capacity.
NEAR’s unique account model allows developers to build secure and pragmatic apps that consumers can use similarly to today’s web apps, which requires multiple second-layer add-ons on other blockchains.
“NEAR provides a user-friendly platform that is easy to build, use and maintain,” Sheldon Xia, Founder and CEO at BitMart, commented, “We firmly believe that our official integration with NEAR will help decentralized applications make a bigger impact on the blockchain community.”
“From day 1, NEAR has been about experience and our ecosystem is ready for mass adoption now,” Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of NEAR, commented, “The integration with BitMart will help users and communities to find decentralized applications with a great experience on NEAR.”
