Aurora Chain

Aurora Chain is a dedicated EVM-compatible blockchain built on top of the NEAR Protocol. It is your own instance of Aurora – every Aurora Chain is based upon the Aurora smart contract, also called Aurora Engine. It provides you with a customized and dedicated blockchain environment.

Benefits include:

  1. No need for additional validators: when your Aurora Chain is deployed, it automatically gets all the Near Blockchain validators, which are above 300.
  2. Configuration: create whitelists, choose your own custom token, gas mechanics, integrate KYC, and much more.
  3. Complete ecosystem: the Rainbow Bridge, on-ramps, indexers, oracles, DEXes, etc., Aurora Cloud provides a selection of integrations that can be deployed to your chain in order to speed up development
  4. Focus on your business: Aurora Labs team is available to support each step of the integration.
  5. Seamless interoperability with Aurora, Near, and any other Aurora Chains: you can freely move your assets using the Rainbow Bridge and call contracts via cross-contract calls (XCC). There is no disjointness in between. You can call any smart contract in any other Aurora Chain or NEAR and interact with them freely.
  6. Top-notch TPS: we can provide you dozens of millions of transactions daily for your ecosystem – 1k+ transactions per second.

What can be configured?​

To make Aurora Chain work in the best possible way for your business, we will help you to configure your setup. Among the features to configure are:

  1. Base token of your Aurora Chain.
  2. Gas mechanics within your chain, such as fixed fee or percentage-based fees, gasless transactions, paying for gas with a custom token, etc.
  3. Permission levels: whitelist usage - who can transact or deploy contracts? You can learn about how to operate Aurora Chain Whitelists from your DApp here.
  4. Private chain: can be built using a private NEAR shard Calimero.
