 # blockchain-compare-solana
 
-Compare NEAR Protocol and Solana across gas fees, speed, and features using live network data.
+Compare NEAR Protocol and Solana blockchain metrics including gas prices, block stats, and transaction throughput.
 
 ## Installation
 
 npm install blockchain-compare-solana
 
-## Usage
-
-import {
-  compareGasFees,
-  compareSpeed,
-  compareFeatures,
-  getLiveNetworkStats,
-  getFullReport,
-} from 'blockchain-compare-solana';
+## API
 
-### Compare Gas Fees
+### `getNearGasPrice(): Promise<string>`
 
-const gasFees = await compareGasFees();
-console.log(gasFees);
+Fetches the current NEAR mainnet gas price.
 
-### Compare Transaction Speed
+### `getNearBlockStats(): Promise<{ blockTime: number; estimatedTps: number }>`
 
-const speed = await compareSpeed();
-console.log(speed);
+Returns recent NEAR block timing and estimated transactions per second.
 
-### Compare Features
+### `compareChains(): Promise<ComparisonReport>`
 
-const features = await compareFeatures();
-console.log(features);
-// Includes human-readable accounts, smart contract support, and more
+Fetches data from both chains and returns a structured comparison report.
 
-### Get Live Network Stats
+### `compareToMarkdown(): Promise<string>`
 
-const stats = await getLiveNetworkStats();
-console.log(stats);
+Returns a formatted markdown table comparing NEAR and Solana metrics.
 
-### Get Full Report
+### `callNearContract(account, contractId, methodName, args, gas?, deposit?): Promise<unknown>`
 
-const report = await getFullReport();
-console.log(report.gas);
-console.log(report.speed);
-console.log(report.features);
-console.log(report.stats);
-console.log(report.verdict);
+Calls a NEAR smart contract function using an existing `nearApiJs.Account` instance.
 
-## Return Types
-
-| Function | Returns |
-|---|---|
-| `compareGasFees()` | `Promise<GasComparison>` |
-| `compareSpeed()` | `Promise<SpeedComparison>` |
-| `compareFeatures()` | `Promise<FeatureComparison>` |
-| `getLiveNetworkStats()` | `Promise<NetworkStats>` |
-| `getFullReport()` | `Promise<{ gas, speed, features, stats, verdict }>` |
+## Usage
 
-## Notes
+import {
+  getNearGasPrice,
+  getNearBlockStats,
+  compareChains,
+  compareToMarkdown,
+  callNearContract,
+} from 'blockchain-compare-solana';
 
-- All functions fetch **live data** from NEAR and Solana RPC endpoints.
-- No API key required.
-- All functions are async and return Promises.
+// Get NEAR gas price
+const gasPrice = await getNearGasPrice();
+console.log(gasPrice);
+
+// Get NEAR block stats
+const stats = await getNearBlockStats();
+console.log(stats.blockTime, stats.estimatedTps);
+
+// Compare chains
+const report = await compareChains();
+console.log(report.comparisons);
+
+// Markdown comparison table
+const md = await compareToMarkdown();
+console.log(md);
+
+// Call a NEAR contract
+const result = await callNearContract(
+  account,
+  'contract.near',
+  'myMethod',
+  { key: 'value' },
+  '30000000000000',
