The NEAR RPC documentation provides developers with the necessary tools to interact programmatically with the NEAR blockchain. NEAR is designed for scalability, low fees, and fast transaction finality, making it an ideal platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and financial applications. The documentation includes key API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing smart contracts, and submitting transactions. NEAR’s architecture ensures efficient development and deployment of scalable dApps with its developer-friendly environment.
