NEAR - 32. Activity with NEAR Blockchain Projects and NEAR Horizon

    We are looking for analysts to identify and analyze active projects on the NEAR blockchain. The intention being to gain insights into the current project ecosystem, smart contract interactions and overall recent activity. Determine the total number of active projects on NEAR and specifically identify those on NEAR Horizon, the developer-friendly interface. Define active projects by your own terms and explain your thought process. Identify active NEAR projects and assess recent activity. Determine the total number of active projects on NEAR. Identify and connect those projects specifically operating on NEAR Horizon. Prepare a detailed report with statistical analysis and visualizations.

    Introduction
    What is NEAR

    Near Protocol is a layer 1 blockchain network. It provides a platform on which developers can build decentralized applications (dapps). The most successful layer 1 blockchain is Ethereum, so protocols like Near are seen as challengers. The key yardsticks for layer 1 networks are transaction costs, speed and the ability to maintain those features as transaction volumes grow. These factors are the focus for layer 1s like Near to improve upon Ethereum, which has encountered issues with costs and speed over the last few years. Near Protocol is faster and cheaper than Ethereum. More importantly, it promises to be faster than some of the other largest challengers. When fully implemented, Near is expected to be able to process up to around 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). Ethereum’s largest rival, Solana, averages less than 3,000 transactions per second, according to its own blockchain explorer. Ethereum averages double-digit transactions per second. Bitcoin does less than 10.

    HORIZON

    A revolutionary accelerator for Web3 startups

    NEAR Horizon is an exciting opportunity for founder teams looking to build their startups on the BOS. Startups can interact with NEAR Horizon through a double sided marketplace application that connects founders to each other, and to the people and organizations who are best able to accelerate their growth. At launch, the marketplace will include over 15 service providers, 40 mentors and over 300 backers. Founders in the NEAR ecosystem will have direct self-service access to NEAR Horizon, allowing them to make the connections and generate the resources that will help them succeed. In addition to these immediate resources, founders can apply for credits that cover service costs in critical development areas including marketing, legal, back-office finance, product and infrastructure.

    On this dashboard we are going to put NEAR projects and Horizon project under consideration.

    Our focus is on the number of users, transactions and new users to see how they behave and what projects are more active using transactions, labels and fact_horizon tabels.

    Bare with us untill the end of this Analysis.
