Why Building Games on NEAR?

1. Fast and Scalable

NEAR’s sharded infrastructure make it possible to scale infinitely. The transactions like transfer can be completed instantly on NEAR, and with very low gas fees.

The real-time transaction, low gas fee and high scalability makes it possible to launch world-class game with millions of users.

2. Great User Experience

The NEAR Account and Keys model, Wallet and APIs make it easy to build games with great user experience on NEAR.

The NEAR account is human readable, which makes it able to be used directly for roles in games.

The Function Call Keys make it possible to create secure keys with restricted access.

With the help of NEAR's function call key, web wallet and near APIs, it's quite easy to integrate NEAR with game engines or your web/mobile frontend, and user don't have to install browser extensions to launch the game in web or mobile app.

The progressive onboarding process makes it quite easy for users to create a new account using email or SMS, without the necessity of learning about the concepts of seed phrases, gas fees, etc.

3. Developer Friendly

With NEAR, developers can build smart contracts with common languages that they're already familiar with, such as Rust, TypeScript, or build with Solidity on Aurora if they prefer EVM toolings.

Developers can also build the games with NEAR libraries in JavaScript, Python, or APIs integrated with game frameworks such as Unity, Godot.

Also, 30% of the gas fees spent on the contracts will be paid to developers.
