Near Protocol is a highly scalable layer-1 blockchain network designed to facilitate decentralized application development through sharding and a developer-friendly architecture. Its native token, NEAR, is utilized for securing the network via staking, participating in governance, and paying for transaction fees.
Between August 18 and August 25, 2020, Near Protocol held a dedicated follow-up Community Sale on CoinList for unallocated registrants from the initial public offering. Eligible participants were guaranteed an allocation of up to 3,000 NEAR tokens at the original sale price of $0.29 for the 24-month linear release option, with funds supporting ecosystem growth and community participation ahead of mainnet.

How to join Near Protocol - CoinList Community Sale Option 2 Round?
This Community Sale window was exclusively available to users who had successfully registered for the original CoinList NEAR token sale but did not receive an allocation due to overwhelming demand and technical issues. Eligible participants received a direct email from CoinList with instructions and were guaranteed the opportunity to purchase up to 3,000 NEAR tokens.
Buyers could select the 24-month linear vesting option priced at $0.29 per token, matching the original sale structure. There was no first-come-first-served pressure, as all eligible participants who completed the process within the seven-day window received their full requested allocation up to the cap. KYC completed during the original registration was required for participation.
💡 Pro tip: Prioritize the longer 24-month linear vesting option on CoinList when available, as it historically offered the lowest entry price and better aligned with NEAR's mainnet unlock timeline while maximizing allocation certainty for pre-registered users.
