Companies Phone Directory
We made a company directory in a team of 3, it was the first time we worked with NEAR, it has 3 methods, one for registring a company and just needs the creator, name of the company and phone number. One to show all of them, and one for searching by name. We made the demo on live.

Let's build the Open Web!
NEAR is secure enough to manage high value assets like money, assets and identity while being performant and affordable enough to make things useful for everyday people.
Technically speaking, NEAR is a layer 1 smart contract platform (like Ethereum but cheaper and faster) that scales by parallelizing storage and compute using a technique called “sharding”.
