Transak Announces Official Strategic Partnership with NEAR

 

Transak, a single integration for Web3 applications to accept fiat-to-crypto deposits from a global user base, today announces a strategic partnership with NEAR Protocol (NEAR)- a sharded, proof-of-stake, layer-1 blockchain that is simple to use, secure and scalable. This partnership will be built upon the common goal of onboarding the next billion users to Web3.

As cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have become more popular, various networks have started to face scalability challenges due to the increased demand. While there are several teams exploring different scaling solutions for blockchain networks, NEAR is focused on addressing the limitations through its unique sharding technology called Nightshade. This makes NEAR very ideal for projects that experience a high volume of activity.

This is where Transak’s strategic partnership with NEAR comes to fruition. Creating a developer focused environment which will lead to the onboarding of the next generation of users to Web3. NEAR uses a native token called NEAR, which is currently available for purchase on Transak via ApplePay, Debit/Credit Card or with SEPA/Bank Transfer. Currently two of Transak’s major partners, Trust Wallet and BitYard support deposits for NEAR. Transak plans to push for further adoption of the NEAR token by its other existing partners due to the new accessibility that is now available.

“This partnership allows both organizations to be one step closer to onboarding the next generation of users to Web3,” said Sami Start, CEO, Transak. “ NEAR is a network we would love to encourage developers to utilize and foresee much success as Web3 continues to evolve.”
