Near created contracts

    Near

    The NEAR protocol was built by Alexander Skidanov and Illia Polosukhin in 2018, and NEAR crypto is the ecosystem’s native token. The pair initially held roles in companies such as Google, Microsoft and MemSQL before co-founding NEAR Inc. They initially set out working on a machine learning project but slowly pivoted towards blockchain technology.

    NEAR is on a path to creating the decentralized, permission-less “open web.” This means no company, no government and no individual person has the ability to shut it down. It relies on code and users instead. 

    NEAR is a Layer-1 blockchain solution built for an ecosystem’s underlying base network and infrastructure. Bitcoin and Ethereum are examples of some other Layer-1 blockchains. These blockchains finalize and validate transactions as well as secure the network from malicious behavior by incentivizing validators with rewards. In this case, validators are rewarded with NEAR cryptocurrency tokens.

    NEAR solves consensus issue through proof of stake and its self-calibrated nightshade technology.  Nightshade technology uses a process known as “sharding” to reduce user fees. This means each node can be split into “shards” which operate their own set of data, thereby fostering increased network throughput. This permits much higher transaction volume than some other networks, processing roughly 100,000 transactions per second. 

    Methodology

    New contract creation process defined as output of transactions with specific action called DeployContract.

    Total contract created count transactions and sum grouped by date of blocks with this transaction

    (cause transactions has no execution time, but block with transactions has one).

    Top near contract by transactions (according my research ) amount are:

    Conclusion

    • There were 37.6k contracts created in Near blockchain over all time.
    • Creation contracts chart is not so smooth, there were some big increments of created contracts.
    • Aurora and NearCrowd dominated over all other contracts.
