Introduction

What Is Near Protocol?

NEAR Protocol is a smart contract capable, public Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that was conceptualized as a community-run cloud computing platform. Built by the NEAR Collective, NEAR was designed to host decentralized applications (dApps), and strives to compete with Ethereum and other leading smart contract-enabled blockchains like EOS and Polkadot. NEAR’s native token is also called NEAR, and is used to pay for transaction fees and storage. NEAR tokens can also be staked by token holders who participate in achieving network consensus as transaction validators.

What Is Near Horizon?

NEAR Horizon is an exciting opportunity for founder teams looking to build their startups on the BOS. Startups can interact with NEAR Horizon through a double sided marketplace application that connects founders to each other, and to the people and organizations who are best able to accelerate their growth.

Methodology

In this dashboard we are going to take a look at the active projects of Near blockchain and we are going to delve into its new accelerator which is called Near Horizon.

To determine the active projects i have choosed the projects which had at least one transaction in each day for the past 30 days, Because in my opinion an active project is a project which is useful everyday and it doesn't matter how many transactions does it get.

For gathering the needed data i have used 3 tables out of FlipSideCrypto Data From near.core & near.horizon.
