The NEAR Protocol Specifications and Standards repository serves as the authoritative source for the current specifications and standards of the NEAR Protocol, encompassing core protocol specifications, APIs, contract standards, and development workflows. Modifications to these are introduced through NEAR Enhancement Proposals (NEPs), which follow a structured review and approval process. This process ensures that proposed enhancements are thoroughly vetted and aligned with the protocol’s goals. The repository supports ongoing development and refinement of the protocol, leveraging community contributions through a transparent forum-based discussion and pull request system. Additionally, it uses Docusaurus for generating live documentation, enhancing accessibility and collaboration for developers.
