NEAR protocol makes a new SDK available to 20 million Javascript developers.

NEAR protocol announced the release of a new Javascript SDK in an official blog post, allowing 20 million developers to build decentralized applications. The audacious move will boost adoption within the NEAR ecosystem.

Bringing Web2 developers into the Web3 world is a critical component of increasing the number of Web3 users. At ETH Toronto, the NEAR protocol shared the details and reaffirmed its commitment to speeding up and making Web3 development more open.

Javascript is the most widely used programming language in the world.

Javascript is the most widely used coding language on the planet. According to the popular technology platform Stack Overflow, 69.8% of programmers prefer to code in JavaScript. It is compatible with all popular browsers and can be used to create mobile apps. It also comes pre-loaded with useful libraries and is simple to install. NEAR is proud of how easy it is to use its tools to unlock blockchain capabilities and create smart contracts.

More than 20 million developers can now join the 2.5 million Rust and Solidity developments in the Web3 movement by building fast, scalable, and user-friendly applications using the new NEAR’s Javascript SDK.

“Developers can spend less time learning new languages and more time developing applications in languages they already know.” “Millions of developers already know how to program in JavaScript; allowing this group to build novel applications on NEAR is a critical step toward achieving our vision of a billion users interacting with NEAR,” says NEAR Founder Illia Polosukhin.

The NEAR Start guide can help developers learn more about the SDK. NEAR is a layer 1 blockchain that focuses on transaction speed and scalability.
