Good morning everyone, I am your lovely old cat. Creating is not easy, so remember to follow and like before reading. Thank you!!!

Introduction:

In recent years, the congestion issue of the Ethereum network has become increasingly severe, with rising transaction fees greatly impacting user experience. Against this backdrop, emerging blockchain projects have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, among which the NEAR protocol and its token NEAR stand out as a remarkable example. This article will explore the challenges posed by Ethereum's congestion and how the NEAR token has emerged to provide new solutions for the blockchain ecosystem.

1. The Congestion Phenomenon of Ethereum

Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum, as a smart contract platform, has seen the rapid rise of decentralized applications (DApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. However, with the increase in the user base and the surge in the number of applications, the Ethereum network faces significant congestion issues. Whenever market enthusiasm rises, such as during peak DeFi activities or the NFT craze, network transaction volume sharply increases, leading to longer transaction confirmation times and soaring fees, which at times deters ordinary users.

2. Introduction to NEAR Protocol

Against this backdrop, the NEAR protocol was officially launched in 2020. It is a new type of public chain technology aimed at enhancing the scalability and usability of blockchain. The NEAR protocol adopts a series of innovative technologies, such as sharding and nightshade execution, enabling it to support higher transaction throughput while effectively reducing transaction costs. These features make NEAR a strong competitor to Ethereum and other public chain projects.

3. The Value and Application of NEAR Tokens

NEAR tokens are the core assets in the NEAR protocol ecosystem. They are not only used to pay transaction fees but also to participate in network governance, staking, and reward mechanisms. By holding and using NEAR tokens, users can gain the right to participate in the decision-making process, thereby influencing the direction of ecosystem development. Furthermore, due to its low transaction fees and fast confirmation speed, NEAR provides developers with a friendly environment, allowing them to focus more on building quality applications rather than spending a lot of energy on network performance.

Compared to Ethereum, the NEAR protocol, characterized by efficiency and low cost, obviously has certain advantages. However, future development still needs to face a series of challenges, including ecosystem building, community activity, and competition with other blockchain platforms. The NEAR team is actively working on continuously optimizing its technical capabilities and promoting ecosystem development.

Humorous Reading:

In this era of information explosion, everyone knows about Ethereum, the 'superstar' of the blockchain world, like that idol always surrounded by paparazzi. Unfortunately, being a star means more traffic and more congestion! Want to trade on Ethereum? Don't rush; you might need to grab a coffee and wait for the network to clear up.

When the Ethereum network is congested, it's like the subway during rush hour: not only are people packed together, but you also have to anxiously watch your ticket (gas fee) appreciate. You originally just wanted to buy an NFT or transfer some tokens, but found out you needed to empty your wallet to make the transaction successful. At this moment, a brave developer steps forward, and that is the NEAR token!

NEAR is like a warm-hearted buddy who gives you a comforting hug when you're about to give up due to the torment of Ethereum. Imagine if Ethereum is a supercar, then NEAR is that little electric car that effortlessly weaves through city alleys. No need to worry about soaring fuel prices or the hassle of stopping at red lights.

Moreover, NEAR also has some super cool features! It uses 'Nightshade' mode, not to spare your eyes when trading at night but to improve efficiency and speed up network operation. Wow, it's even more convenient than shared bicycles in our real life! You can take it whenever you want, as long as no one snatches it away.

Of course, we cannot ignore the small 'grievances' between NEAR and Ethereum. Some loyal fans might raise the question: 'Should I really sit in a cheaper but less popular little car just because I spent money on a discounted ticket?' In fact, in the fiercely competitive world of blockchain, each project has its place. Just like forwards and goalkeepers on a football field, each has their role; whichever you need, go find that one.

However, one thing is certain: in future developments, Ethereum and NEAR will not peacefully coexist; they will continue to compete in a battle of technology and creativity. Who will be the ultimate winner? The answer may lie in your wallet – just remember to choose the right path and don't let congestion waste your time!

So, next time when you look into the distance in front of Ethereum, watching those piled-up transaction confirmations, consider that lovely NEAR token; it might add some fun and convenience to your crypto journey. However, please remember that no matter which path you choose, you will always encounter some 'small pits'. Old cat wishes everyone smooth sailing in the blockchain world!
