NEAR BOS vs Web Apps NEAR BOS differs from Web App: it provides decentralized frontends via gateways for Ethereum, L2, and L1 networks. 1) It enables the creation and use of components for on-chain protocols; supports cross-chain function calls, and stores frontend code on the NEAR. 2) BOS vs old Web3 is like Android/iOS vs web apps. You use all dApps in one place, you create dApps in a built-in IDE. You have everything, from NDC docs to decentralized Twitter. 3) BOS can be scaled to support other networks too. E.g. it supports Ethereum now, and some EVM dApps already have their widgets launched on BOS. 4) BOS simplifies dApp creation thanks to composable frontends. Devs don't have to build from scratch, they can reuse common assets: contracts, code, and interface; this results in fast app development. 5) 3 Pillars Of BOS 1️⃣ Common gateway to Web3 2️⃣ Components to compose dApps 3️⃣ Blockchains to store everything, from interface to database 6) BOS tackles web3 front-end challenges: access, security, composability, and agility. Users run blockchain apps locally for robustness, censorship resistance, and user-friendly experience.
