Quickstart

NEAR By Example is a comprehensive educational platform that bridges the gap between learning NEAR smart contract development and actually building on the NEAR blockchain. The platform provides over 60 categorized examples covering everything from basic contract structure to advanced topics like NFTs, fungible tokens, cross-contract calls, and security best practices. Each example is available in both Rust and JavaScript/TypeScript implementations, allowing developers to learn in their preferred language.
