# FASTNEAR

> The fastest gateway to NEAR Protocol

FastNEAR provides RPC endpoints, indexed blockchain data, and low-latency APIs for developers building on the NEAR Protocol.

FastNEAR helps developers and teams build on the NEAR Protocol through managed RPC nodes, streaming blockchain data APIs, and account query services. Users can access transaction history, query token and NFT balances, retrieve staking information, and run verifiable off-chain computations using TEE technology. The platform serves wallets, explorers, and applications that need reliable, low-latency access to NEAR network data.

## Products

- [FastNEAR](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fastnear): FastNEAR is a NEAR Protocol RPC and data API infrastructure service backed by hosted nodes with archival storage and high-performance caching. The platform delivers regular, archival, and high-capacity RPC tiers, block streaming via REST endpoints, account and token lookup APIs, transaction explorer APIs, and transfer history queries. A subscription dashboard manages API keys and monitors usage across tiered plans based on request volume. (RPC Provider, Live, Main Product)
- [OutLayer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fastnear): OutLayer is a verifiable off-chain computation service for the NEAR Protocol, executing WASM code inside Intel TDX Trusted Execution Environments. Every execution produces a cryptographic attestation confirming code, input, and output integrity. Smart contracts integrate through NEAR's yield/resume mechanism for blockchain-native flows, while web applications call directly via HTTPS API with payment in NEAR tokens or USDC. Use cases include AI inference, verifiable randomness, and external API wrapping with built-in developer monetization. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [NEAR Rocks](https://thegrid.id/profiles/fastnear): NEAR Rocks is a block explorer for the NEAR Protocol, rendering real-time blocks, transactions, accounts, and token transfers through the FastNear Transactions API. Smart search auto-detects account IDs, block heights, and transaction hashes. The interface provides full receipt execution traces, nested action breakdowns, delegate and relayer detection, and transfer parsing for NEP-141, NEP-171, and NEP-245 standards extracted from event logs. Deep-linkable receipt IDs, spam token filtering, and raw unit display toggles are also supported. (Block Explorer, Live)
