NEAR offers services such as NEAR Names that are unencumbered by the potential high gas fees on networks such as Ethereum while the protocol has a minimum of 2500-3000 Transactions Per Second (TPS). The NEAR Protocol has also been awarded the Climate Neutral Product Label from South Pole.
The launch of USDt on NEAR is the thirteenth blockchain on which USDt is available, adding to Algorand, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash’s Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP), Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Kusama, Polkadot, Tron, Tezos and Solana.
“We are pleased to be adding another blockchain for our customers to be able to deploy their Tether tokens,” said Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex. “The NEAR blockchain is a focus of growing interest in the digital token economy and I’m sure our users will appreciate having exposure to its flourishing ecosystem.”
NEAR’s sharding mechanism, Nightshade, is built to heighten scalability and security, according to the protocol. Furthermore, NEAR seeks to focus on usability, for both developers and users. Developers on the NEAR protocol are building decentralized applications (dapps) in a variety of sectors, including finance, gaming and in the Non Fungible Token (NFT) space.
USDt is supported by numerous e-commerce platforms and payment gateways, and already provides faster payment as compared to many credit and debit cards, and traditional payment systems.
