## About NEAR



NEAR's purpose is to enable community-driven innovation to benefit people around the world.



To achieve this purpose, *NEAR* provides a developer platform where developers and entrepreneurs can create apps that put users back in control of their data and assets, which is the foundation of ["Open Web" movement][open-web-url].



One of the components of *NEAR* is the NEAR Protocol, an infrastructure for server-less applications and smart contracts powered by a blockchain.

NEAR Protocol is built to deliver usability and scalability of modern PaaS like Firebase at fraction of the prices that blockchains like Ethereum charge.



Overall, *NEAR* provides a wide range of tools for developers to easily build applications:

 - [JS Client library][js-api] to connect to NEAR Protocol from your applications.

 - [Rust][rust-sdk] and [JavaScript/TypeScript][js-sdk] SDKs to write smart contracts and stateful server-less functions.

 - [Several essential repositories](https://github.com/near/dx) to guide you in building across Near's Open Web Platform.

 - [Numerous examples][examples-url] with links to hack on them right inside your browser.

 - [Lots of documentation][docs-url], with [Tutorials][tutorials-url] and [API docs][api-docs-url].

## Join the Network



The easiest way to join the network, is by using the `nearup` command, which you can install as follows:



```bash

pip3 install --user nearup

```



You can join all the active networks:

* mainnet: `nearup run mainnet`

* testnet: `nearup run testnet`

* betanet: `nearup run betanet`



Check the `nearup` repository for [more details](https://github.com/near/nearup) on how to run with or without docker.



To learn how to become validator, checkout [documentation](https://docs.near.org/docs/develop/node/validator/staking-and-delegation).
