> NEAR's purpose is to enable community-driven innovation to benefit people around the world.
> To achieve this purpose, NEAR provides a developer platform where developers and entrepreneurs can create apps that put users back in control of their data and assets, which is the foundation of "Open Web" movement.[1]
> One of the components of NEAR is NEAR Protocol, an infrastructure for server-less applications and smart contracts powered by blockchain. NEAR Protocol is built to deliver usability and scalability of modern PaaS like Firebase at fraction of prices that blockchains like Ethereum charge.
