Announcing NEAR Validator Advisory Board in the upcoming Phase 1 launch!
One of the key features that NEAR offers which differentiates it from many Proof-of-Stake networks is contract-based delegation. For example, one validator might offer delegators a better return if they lock up their capital for a long period of time while another might offer better returns for larger size delegations.
This contract-based delegation makes it easier to pipe together DeFi/Open Finance components, so you can imagine contracts which dynamically allocate delegators’ funds to lending protocols or validators depending on the prevailing interest rates and return in the market.
