A GUIDE TO NEAR WALLETS  

In the current crypto market, Ethereum is the platform of choice for
decentralized applications, smart contracts, and decentralized finance. However,
Ethereum has several problems that are a hindrance, such as high gas fees and
significant issues relating to scalability. So while Ethereum may be Numero Uno,
several other protocols are emerging to challenge Ethereum in the market. 

NEAR protocol is one of the blockchains that has emerged as a true challenger to
Ethereum’s dominance in the space. The team at NEAR looked at Ethereum’s
shortcomings and created a protocol that goes straight for its most glaring
shortcoming, its lack of scalability and high gas fees. NEAR uses a process
called sharding, allowing the protocol to scale exponentially. NEAR has also
managed to raise significant funding from some of the biggest venture
capitalists, including a16z, Coinbase Ventures, Scalar Capital, Dragonfly
Capital, and several more. In this guide, we will look at NEAR, and in
particular, the NEAR wallet. 


THE NEAR PROTOCOL 

Founded in 2018, the NEAR Protocol is a decentralized development platform
designed to create a seamless and near-perfect environment for decentralized
applications (dApps) and smart contracts. NEAR was created after analyzing the
shortcomings of existing protocols, particularly Ethereum. The protocol focuses
on addressing these issues and is looking to become the go-to platform for
Decentralized Applications and Decentralized Finance. NEAR’s use of sharding
allows the protocol to scale up exponentially, addressing scalability issues
prevalent in the space. 

NEAR’s Proof-of-Stake blockchain is extremely developer-friendly, thanks to it
being low-cost and highly scalable, and developers can seamlessly create
decentralized applications. The NEAR protocol also has several other features,
such as the NEAR wallet and other components. Our focus in this article will be
on the NEAR wallet, but more on that a little later. NEAR also utilizes
Doomslug, allowing blocks to achieve finality in seconds. Other blockchains
usually centralize processing, limiting its usability to very high-end hardware.
While this approach increases throughput, it does so only temporarily. NEAR is
capable of scaling linearly, supporting billions of transactions in a
decentralized manner. 

NEAR has been created by the NEAR Collective, a community of researchers and
developers. NEAR collective’s focus is the continuous development and
improvement of the protocol. The collective has also worked on the initial code
of the NEAR Protocol and implementation of the NEAR Network. While the NEAR
Collective is behind the development of the NEAR Protocol, the latter operates
entirely independently and is entirely decentralized, with even the NEAR
Collective unable to shut it down. 




ADVANTAGES OF THE NEAR PROTOCOL 

 * NEAR users do not require any complicated browser extensions or keys to
   register. A simple email and password is sufficient to register. 
 * NEAR smart contracts are compatible with WebAssembly Virtual Machine (WASM). 
 * The protocol allows developers to deploy scalable and high-performance
   blockchain applications. 
 * A fraction of the gas fees compared to others such as Ethereum. 


WHAT IS A CRYPTO WALLET 

Before moving on to the NEAR wallet, it is essential to understand what a wallet
is. In the simplest of terms, crypto wallets safely store your private keys,
ensuring that your cryptocurrency is safe and accessible. You can also use
crypto wallets to conduct transactions, send and receive cryptocurrency, or even
spend your crypto. When selecting a crypto wallet, you have several options to
choose from. These are paper wallets, hardware wallets, and online wallets. 


HOT WALLETS 

Hot wallets are online-based wallets that allow users to transfer their crypto
quickly. Most online exchanges have their own wallets which users can access.
Hot wallets are easy to access through a mobile or desktop. While hot wallets
offer easy connectivity, they are also at risk from threats such as hacking.
Desktop wallets, online wallets, and mobile wallets are examples of hot
wallets. 


COLD WALLETS 

A cold wallet or hardware wallet is a device similar to a USB device where users
can store their keys. The wallet is portable and can be connected to a
laptop/desktop whenever the user wishes to access their crypto. Hardware wallets
are much less prone to threats such as hacking or any other malicious attack
that could occur online. 


PAPER WALLETS 

A paper wallet is essentially a printed piece of paper containing your public
key and private key. The keys can be accessed only through a QR code. Paper
wallets are used to store a significant amount of cryptocurrency since they are
considered extremely safe. 


THE NEAR WALLET 

Developers at the NEAR Protocol have developed a convenient wallet application
for NEAR tokens. The wallet is an in-browser and web-based wallet that users can
use the NEAR wallet to create and interact with other NEAR accounts. The wallet
is also required to interact with the NEAR Protocol. The wallet is used to store
the NEAR tokens and NEP21 token standards, which are supported on the NEAR
blockchain. The wallet allows users to send or receive NEP21 and NEAR tokens and
interact with applications on the protocol. While using the NEAR wallet, it is
essential to remember the following information. 

A key differentiator for NEAR accounts is that NEAR uses human readable
accounts, and not a hash. So an account on NEAR would not read as
0x71C7656EC7ab88b098defB751B7401B5f6d8976F but as alice.near or bob.near. NEAR
accounts can also create sub-accounts, but only the root account can create
them. Another critical differentiator is that most blockchains have one
public/private key pair for each account. On NEAR, accounts can have multiple
key pairs associated with them. These are called “access keys.” Access keys are
of two types, a full access key, and a functional call. A full access key grants
the user complete control of their NEAR account. On the other hand, Functional
call allows for non-monetary transaction signing. 

Wallet Address – The wallet address is essentially a sequence of characters or
numbers or both that are used to send or receive tokens using the NEAR wallet. 

Private Key And Passphrase – The passphrase and security key is a type of
password. The passphrase comprises 12 words, while the private key consists of a
sequence of letters and numbers. Both are extremely important steps when it
comes to wallet recovery. 


CREATING A NEAR WALLET 

The NEAR Wallet allows users to send and receive NEAR tokens and stake their
NEAR tokens. However, you have to create a wallet on NEAR to access these
features. Let’s get started.

 * The first step is to go to https://wallet.near.org/. Once you reach this
   page, you will have two options, Create Account or Import Existing Account.
   We will go with the first option.



 * Once you click on “create an ID,” you have to create an account name. Create
   your account name and if the name is available, click on “Reserve My Account
   ID.”



 * The next step is choosing how to restore access to your account. There are
   three recovery methods for you to consider. You can use a seed phrase,
   connect a ledger hardware wallet, or email. The protocol recommends choosing
   a seed phrase or connecting a ledger hardware wallet, as these are more
   secure than securing your account through email. We will select “Secure
   Passphrase” in this example and move ahead.



 

 

 * It is highly recommended that you use the Ledger Nano S or X. Using the
   ledger ensures that your private keys are securely stored in your ledger. The
   Ledger provides the highest level of security whilst using the NEAR wallet.
   Setting up your ledger is simple, all you have to do is download Ledger Live,
   and update the firmware. To install the NEAR Ledger app, open the Ledger Live
   app, go to Settings and click on Experimental Features. From here you will be
   able to switch on Developer Mode. Once this step is completed, select
   Manager, Search for NEAR and click on Install.
 * Once you click on Secure Passphrase”, a seed phrase will appear on the
   screen, containing 12 mnemonic words. You have to store these words safely,
   and the best way to do that is simply write them down in a book or a piece of
   paper and store it in a safe place. Please do NOT take a screenshot and save
   the phrase or store it on any online medium. Your seed phrase is for you
   alone.



 * Confirm and verify that you have entered the seed phrase correctly and
   completed the setup process.
 * Once you have completed verifying your seed phrase, you will be redirected to
   the “Fund Your Account” screen. This process is required to get the ID that
   you selected earlier. There are several ways in which you can fund your
   account. You can either do it yourself by going to your exchange account and
   sending NEAR to the one-time funding address. You can also fund your account
   using Moonpay or ask a friend who has NEAR to send 1 NEAR to your temporary
   address. Once the transaction is confirmed, your initial deposit will reflect
   in the wallet.



 * Now that your account is successfully funded, click on “Continue to Account,”
   and you will be redirected to your wallet’s home interface.

Once your account is created, it is recommended that you enable 2FA. This step
is critical as it significantly increases the security of your NEAR wallet
account. 


ACCOUNT CREATION WITH LEDGER 

Let’s understand how you can create an account using a Ledger device. 

 * Go to wallet.testnet.near.org and select “Create an Account.”
 * Use the same step described in the previous method and reserve an account ID.
   Once you enter your ID, click on “Create The Account.” 
 * Next, you will have to choose your security method. This is where account
   creation is different because you will be using your Ledger device. So
   instead of “Recovery Phrase”, select the “Ledger Nano S or X.”



 * After selecting the Ledger option, hit “continue” and you will be prompted to
   connect your ledger device. 



 * Once you have connected your Ledger device, unlock it. If you have the NEAR
   app installed, select it. Your Ledger device will say “Pending Ledger
   Review”. Click both buttons on the top of the device and your device will
   prompt you to “Use Wallet To View Accounts.” Once this message appears, you
   can go ahead and click “Continue.” 
 * Once you hit continue, the public key will appear on your Ledger screen.
   Approve the public key and confirm the operation on the Ledger. 
 * Next you will be prompted to add a key on your Ledger wallet. Once you click
   on “Approve” on the ledger. Once the operation has been approved, your
   account has been successfully created. 




STAKING USING THE NEAR WALLET 

The NEAR network is run by users that operate nodes, known as validators. The
NEAR community supports validators through staking. Validators keep a minimum
amount staked, allowing them to stay on as validators. NEAR token holders can
stake with any validator they choose, allowing them to earn rewards from the
network. The NEAR wallet has a staking user interface that is built directly
into the web application. 

Let’s understand how to stake using the NEAR wallet. Staking using the NEAR
wallet is a fairly straightforward process and comprises the following steps. 

 * Select the option to stake from the navigation bar. If you are on mobile,
   then you will find the option in your dropdown menu. 
 * Select the button that says “Staking Validator.”
 * Select the validator of your choice from the list of validators. Remember, as
   a NEAR token holder; you can stake with any validator of your choosing. 
 * Once you have confirmed your choice, you can select “Stake with Validator.”
 * Once you click on “Stake with Validator,” you will be prompted to enter the
   number of NEAR tokens that you would like to stake. Once you enter the number
   of tokens, click on “Submit Stake.”

To complete the staking process, you have to confirm two transactions—one
transaction to select the validator and the other to deposit and stake with the
selected validator. 


UNSTAKING YOUR STAKE 

Unstaking your stake is extremely simple. Simply go to the staking dashboard and
select your chosen validator. Once selected, click on “Unstake” and confirm. You
will be able to access and withdraw your stake only after 36-48 hours have
passed. To withdraw your stake, simply go to the validator page and click on
“Withdraw.”


MONITOR STAKING INFORMATION 

The NEAR wallet interface allows you to choose validators and also allow you to
view information such as 

 * The total amount staked – This allows you to view the total number of NEAR
   tokens with validators that are accumulating rewards. 
 * Unclaimed rewards – These are rewards that have been earned but haven’t been
   withdrawn from the staking pool. These unclaimed rewards are automatically
   staked again, increasing the total amount staked and compounding rewards. 
 * Tokens for withdrawal – These are tokens that have been unstaked and are
   ready to be withdrawn. 
 * Tokens pending release – These unstaked tokens are still waiting for the
   36-48 hour window to lapse. 
 * Validator fees – Validator fees are paid to validators to stake on your
   behalf. Validator fees are charged on rewards earned and not against the
   token balance staked to the validators. 


CONNECTING YOUR NEAR WALLET TO A DAPP ON NEAR

Connecting your NEAR wallet to a decentralized application on NEAR is extremely
simple. You have to go to Awesome NEAR and choose one of the many available
dApps. Click on the desired application, and you will see an option to “Sign In
With NEAR Wallet” on the interface. Once you click, you will get a message on
your screen stating that the dApp is requesting permission to access your
account. Click on “Allow,” and the dApp will automatically be connected to the
dApp. 


OTHER WALLETS SUPPORTED BY NEAR


MYNEARWALLET


MyNearWallet is a web wallet that allows users to securely store and stake NEAR
tokens and compatible assets. It is the official successor of the legacy NEAR
Wallet. MyNearWallet also has wNEAR and USN swaps available, as well as ways to
purchase NEAR.

The Trust Wallet is a non-custodial and decentralized wallet that allows users
to store their cryptocurrencies. The assets are stored in a digital address
accessible only by the user, making it a secure and efficient way to store
digital assets. Trust wallet focuses on simplicity and ease of use. The wallet
is an open-source, community-driven, multi-currency wallet capable of storing
almost all cryptocurrencies. It provides users with a convenient way to manage
their cryptocurrencies and allows them to control their private keys completely.



The wallet was acquired by Binance and is the official wallet of the Binance
exchange. The wallet allows users to retain complete control of their assets and
private keys stored on the user’s device. Developers can also build dApps,
without any complications such as low-level implementation details. The wallet
also supports on-wallet staking, which means users can earn rewards on any
supported Proof-of-Stake or Delegated Proof-of-Stake tokens. Trust Wallet allows
users to earn rewards and continually adds more stablecoins and
cryptocurrencies.


CREATING YOUR TRUST WALLET

Creating your wallet using Trust Wallet is a simple process.

 * Go To The Official Trust Wallet website.
 * Download and install the app, open the app and select “Create a new wallet.”



 * The next step is to save your seed phrase. Write down your 12-word seed
   phrase, and ensure that you write down the words in the exact order.
 * And that’s it. Your Trust Wallet has been created.


CLOSING THOUGHTS 

NEAR’s ecosystem allows users to access a host of NFTs, decentralized
applications, and DeFi solutions. NEAR addresses the shortcomings of blockchains
such as Ethereum, offering solutions to long-standing problems such as network
congestion, high gas fees, and slow processing fees. The NEAR wallet allows
users to create and interact with NEAR accounts, allowing users to store their
NEAR tokens, and stake them to earn rewards. We hope this guide provides some
clarity about the functioning of the NEAR wallet and its use cases.
