The post Investors Shouldnt Miss This Major Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The NEAR coin price has been under the influence of bulls since the end of October. During mid-December, the bullish investors made a breakout to pass a major resistance level. It further solidified the uptrend in the cryptocurrency.  What is Near Protocol? NEAR Protocol is developed as software to encourage a network of computers to operate a platform for developers to create and deploy decentralized applications. The software’s design centers around sharding, which splits the network’s infrastructure into various segments, enabling computers, or nodes, to handle only a portion of the network’s transactions.  By distributing segments of the blockchain instead of the entire blockchain across network participants, sharding provides a more efficient way to retrieve network data and scale the platform.  How Does Near Protocol Work? NEAR Protocol is operated and maintained by a distributed network of computers, unlike centralized data storage systems like Amazon Web Services (AWS), which serves as the base layer for building applications.  Nightshade allows NEAR Protocol to maintain a single chain of data while distributing the computing required to maintain this data into “chunks.” Participating nodes handle these chunks by processing the data and adding the information to the main chain.  This architecture ensures fewer potential points of failure when it comes to security, as participating nodes are only responsible for maintaining smaller sections of the chain. To facilitate the transfer of Ethereum tokens between Ethereum and NEAR, NEAR Protocol provides an application called the Rainbow Bridge.  This application allows users to deposit tokens in an Ethereum smart contract, lock them, and create new tokens on NEAR’s platform that represent the original ones. The original funds held in storage through the smart contract can be retrieved when the user wishes to retrieve their original tokens.  Aurora is a Layer 2 scaling solution built on NEAR…
