How to create & deploy smart contracts on NEAR Protocol?

What is NEAR Protocol?

NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to provide a
user-friendly environment for developers and users alike. It facilitates the
creation and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps) with a focus on
scalability, usability, and security.

Understanding Smart Contracts

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement
directly written into code. They run on blockchain networks, ensuring
transparency, security, and immutability. NEAR Protocol supports smart
contracts, allowing developers to create complex dApps that can interact
seamlessly.

Advantages of Using NEAR for Smart Contracts

NEAR Protocol offers several advantages for developers, including:

Setting Up the Development Environment

To start developing on NEAR, install Node.js, NEAR CLI, and create a NEAR
account. This setup will help you manage your projects effectively.

Writing Your First Smart Contract

Choose a programming language (Rust or AssemblyScript) and follow the steps to
create, compile, and deploy your first smart contract on the NEAR platform.
