$NEAR Supply

In this dashboard, I'll show the supply of $NEAR in the Near Blockchain:

From the Total $NEAR supply we have Circulating and Locked $NEAR supply.
The Locked $NEAR supply is unlocking over time becoming part of the Circulating $NEAR Supply.
Both Locked and Circulating $NEAR can be Staked becoming part of the Staked $NEAR Supply.
Finally, the remaining Circulating $NEAR that isn't staked is called Liquid $NEAR.

To understand better the distribution of $NEAR you can visit the official Near Blog post.

Introduction

What is Near?

Near Protocol is a Public Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Blockchain

Aims to bring decentralization finance (DeFi) to the masses with low transfer fees and fast transactions.
With their sharding technology (Nightshade) they achieve speed and scalability.
Uses PoS consensus to secure and validate transactions on the blockchain.
In Proof-of-Stake, users show support to specific network validators by delegating NEAR tokens to them. This process is known as staking. The main idea is that, if a validator has a large amount of tokens delegated is because the community trusts them, and these validators can validate block transactions and add more blocks to the Blockchain.
Validators earn NEAR Token rewards for producing new blocks in the form of a static inflation rate of about 4.5% each year.
Stakers get rewarded in the form of that token, too. The token’s all-time highest price was $20.44 in January 2022.
