NEAR vs Ethereum: The UX Showdown

Most chains brag about scalability. @NEARProtocol quietly rebuilt the user experience.

Here’s how NEAR compares to Ethereum:

🔹 Wallet Creation
Ethereum: Download Metamask, store seed phrase, connect to dApp
NEAR: Sign up with email, social login, or passkey using FastAuth

🔹 Gas Fees
Ethereum: Users must hold ETH and manually approve gas
NEAR: Gas is abstracted or sponsored by the app using meta-transactions

🔹 Transactions
Ethereum: One click, one signature, per action
NEAR: Just state your intent (e.g. “swap X for Y”) — NEAR handles routing and execution

🔹 Dev Experience
Ethereum: Monolithic L1 or rollup maze
NEAR: Modular appchains with BOS + native L2s built-in

In short:
Ethereum scales blocks
NEAR scales users.

We’re not competing on TPS. We’re redesigning how people touch the blockchain.

$NEAR is quietly building for the next 100M.

FORK THAT 
CHOOSE NEAR
