READ THE RECORD
Follow the details.
Understand the movement.
What the transaction fields mean
A NEAR transaction has a signer (the account that authorised it), a receiver (the account or contract it targets) and one or more actions such as Transfer or FunctionCall.
Each transaction has a hash you can look up in a public block explorer. The status tells you whether the transaction and its resulting receipts succeeded.
Gas is the unit of computation; the fee you pay is gas used multiplied by the network gas price, paid in NEAR.
Your activity, clearly organised.

Understanding transaction fees
NEAR charges fees based on gas consumed. A portion of fees on contract calls is directed to the contract's account, which is part of how NEAR rewards developers.
Fee amounts vary with the actions performed and network conditions. Always read the estimate presented before approving.

A name you can inspect.
Read the complete account identifier and the network together. Similar-looking account names can refer to different accounts.
Available and reserved.
See the distinction between available NEAR and the amount reserved for account storage.
Understand access.
Full-access and function-call keys have different scopes. The account view places those permissions alongside the account details.
Account names and access keys
NEAR uses an account model where an account ID can be human-readable, such as alice.near, or implicit — a 64-character lowercase hex string derived from a public key.
Named accounts make it easier to recognise who you are sending to, but a similar-looking name is not the same account. Read every character, particularly before the .near suffix.
Accounts on NEAR can hold multiple access keys with different permission levels. Full-access keys can do anything with an account; function-call keys are limited to specific contracts and allowances.
Understanding your storage reserve
On NEAR, accounts and contracts reserve a portion of their NEAR balance to pay for the storage their data uses on the network. This is called storage staking.
Because of this, a small portion of a balance may appear unavailable. It is released if the stored data is removed.
Your wallet in the bigger picture.
Your wallet connects you to the NEAR network and the applications you use. Follow the path from authorisation to network processing and application state.

Your wallet prepares the request.
Read the account, recipient and action before signing. Access keys determine which actions can be authorised for an account.
The network processes the action.
NEAR distributes processing across shards. Transactions use gas for computation; account storage also reserves part of the NEAR balance.
The record tells the story.
A transaction hash identifies the record. Inspect its status, actions and receipts to understand the outcome, including fees charged for processing.
NEAR, sharding and the role of the native token
NEAR Protocol is a layer-one blockchain using proof-of-stake consensus and a sharding design called Nightshade, which splits network work across shards so capacity can scale.
The native token, NEAR, is used for transaction fees, storage staking and validator staking.
NEAR INTENTS · ECOSYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE
Intent-based routing
across the ecosystem.
NEAR Intents infrastructure lets applications express an outcome and evaluate proposed routes.
- The outcome
Express
A user describes the outcome they want, such as exchanging one asset for another, with limits on what they will accept.
- Proposed routes
Evaluate
Independent solvers propose ways to fulfil the intent. Their proposals can differ in price and the path taken.
- The selection
Route
An integrated application selects a proposal according to its own logic and presents the terms for confirmation.
- On-chain settlement
Settle
Settlement happens through smart contracts, subject to network conditions and the limits the user set.
How an intent differs from choosing every step
With intents, a user states what they want to achieve rather than every step. Solvers compete to propose execution, and settlement happens subject to network conditions.
Participating applications connect to solvers and smart-contract settlement. Review the selected route, assets, limits and destination network before approving an intent.

DESKTOP RELEASENEAR Wallet
Source → Publisher → Install
Check before openingDownloads
How can I check where my installer came from?
Use this site's download section and confirm your OS publisher prompts.
Navigate to the homepage's download section yourself rather than following links in messages, ads or social posts.
When you open an installer, Windows and macOS show who signed it. If the publisher shown is unexpected or missing, stop and do not continue.
Never install wallet software sent to you by someone offering help in a private chat.
From download to desktop.
Get up and running in a few simple steps.
Choose your system
Select the release for Windows, macOS or Linux.
Verify the source
Use the operator’s authenticated release.
Check the publisher
Confirm the publisher shown by your system before installing.
Open on desktop
Open NEAR Wallet from your applications and start exploring.
GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.
Before you
get started.
Find the right release, understand Launch App and get help with installation.
Which desktop systems are supported?
Windows v3.6.4, macOS v3.5.9, Linux v3.5.6. Choose the release matching your computer.
How do I choose the correct desktop version?
Check the operating system in your computer’s settings, then choose its matching release above.
What does Launch App do?
It helps you return to the installed desktop wallet. It does not inspect your files or ask for credentials.
What happens if the application is not found?
The dialog offers Download NEAR Wallet and Search Again. You can also open an installed application directly.
How can I verify the software source?
Use an independently verified address and the operator’s authenticated release. Check the publisher shown by your operating system before installing.
The installer will not open. What should I check?
Confirm the release matches your operating system and verify its publisher. If the publisher is missing or unexpected, stop. If an installation already exists, try opening the application directly from your computer’s applications list.
Can I install the wallet on mobile?
The website works on mobile browsers. The wallet releases here are for desktop computers only.

Getting started & troubleshooting
First steps after installing
Start by confirming you obtained the installer from this site's download section and that your operating system recognises it as coming from the expected publisher.
Before moving meaningful value, practice with a small amount. Check the account identifier you are sending to, the network shown, and the fee estimate every time.
Keep recovery information offline. No legitimate support channel, including this website's assistant, will ever ask you to share it.
Launch App says NEAR Wallet was not found
This message appears when the website cannot detect the desktop application on your device.
Install the version for your operating system from the download section, open it once, then return and choose Search Again. You can also open the application directly from your system.
The download button did not start a download
Download buttons start a download only when an authenticated installer has been connected for that platform. If nothing happens, the installer for that platform is not yet linked.
Do not look for the installer on third-party sites. Check back on this page.
