AURORA: Indispensable infrastructure of near protocol
As you can read in the news, Near protocol has just successfully raised more than 150 million USD from various famous names such as Three Arrows Capital, a16z, Alameda Research, Mechanism Capital, Dragonfly Capital, Jump Capital, Zee Prime, Amber Group,… The price of NEAR shot up significantly and reached a new ATH of $20.42 on January 16, 2022. Thanks to that, other projects in the Near Protocol ecosystem also received more attention from the crypto investment community. Especially Aurora, a project that can be said to be the most effective assistant contributing to the success of Near Protocol.
Aurora is a NEAR Protocol-based platform that has the charge of improving scalability in Ethereum. Developed by the NEAR Protocol core team, Aurora consists of 2 important parts: Aurora Engine (EVM) and Aurora Bridge, which allows users to transfer tokens between Near Protocol and Ethereum. So, Aurora is considered a crucial move to attract users from the Ethereum ecosystem, which is currently having many issues including transaction speed, gas fees, and poor scalability.
