Why are developers migrating to NEAR for dApps?

[ed]

NEAR offers human-readable account names, lower gas fees, and WebAssembly (WASM)-based smart contracts using languages like Rust or AssemblyScript. Its Rainbow Bridge enables cross-chain transfers between Ethereum and NEAR, expanding liquidity and interoperability. Additionally, NEAR provides robust developer tools like NEAR SDKs, NEAR CLI, and NEAR Wallet integration, simplifying deployment for scalable dApps while minimizing onboarding friction compared to Ethereum’s gas-intensive environment.
