Take a look at @NEARProtocol , because it is a concentration of technology.
We are talking about a layer 1 blockchain, it uses a Sharding technology. Layer 2 Aurora is built on #NEAR Protocol.
The consensus mechanism is PoS, which makes the network less energy-intensive. 1/
@NEARProtocol In 2021 it received an award related to its being carbon neutral.
What is Near's core? Nightshade. This is a sharding technology that processes data more efficiently and promises greater scalability. 2/
@NEARProtocol The sharding technology is comparable to a workload managed by multiple cores instead of just one.
With Sharding technology, a node will only handle a part of the transactions, this allows for a greater number of transactions and less load on the individual nodes. 3/
@NEARProtocol Near does not allow validators to compete with each other for blocking via their stake. On Near, there is a sort of auction where the various validators indicate how many NEARs they can stake through a signed transaction. 4/
@NEARProtocol Finally, there is also Rainbow Bridge which allows the transfer of tokens / NFTs between Ethereum and Near Protocol. This allows you to have the Ethereum ecosystem but with the advantages of the Near Protocol network. 5/5
