Aurora

Aurora is a blockchain platform that operates as a Virtual Chain built on the NEAR Protocol, designed to provide Ethereum compatibility and high scalability for decentralized applications. By functioning as an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on NEAR, Aurora enables developers to deploy and run Ethereum-based smart contracts with significantly lower transaction costs and faster throughput. The platform offers a turn-key solution for projects seeking to leverage Ethereum’s ecosystem while benefiting from NEAR’s performance and security features. Aurora’s ecosystem supports a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and tools, and its Aurora Pass mobile wallet provides users with seamless access to blockchain services, including free transactions each month. Aurora plays a key role in bridging the Ethereum and NEAR communities, fostering interoperability, and supporting the growth of scalable, community-driven Web3 products.
