Near Protocol, a decentralised application (DApp), has announced the launch of a new blockchain operating system at the ETHDenver 2023 Web3 and innovation festival.
The focus of the new operating system is to enhance user experience on Web3 by creating a common layer for exploring and discovering open web resources.
The Near team claims that their new system is compatible with any blockchain or Web2 backend, which means that users can use a single app seamlessly, even when switching between different applications or chains.
The new system also provides developers with the ability to create decentralised and composable frontends. It allows developers to combine different pieces and components with built-ins, such as payments, profiles, and notifications, without needing to host them on a separate server.
Near co-founder, Illia Polosukhin mentioned that the new blockchain operating system provides a platform for developers to showcase their apps to a large audience of users, similar to how iOS provides a platform for app developers.
