Aurora is a Virtual Chain built on NEAR. The first of many. It’s, at the same time, the sandbox and the proof of the robustness of the parent protocol. It’s a smart contract - probably the most complex that exists - that is also an Ethereum Virtual Machine, providing a turn-key solution for developers to operate their apps on an Ethereum-compatible, high-throughput, scalable and future-safe platform, with low transaction costs.

Aurora Labs have created two features of Aurora Engine: the cross-chain calls and the hashchain. The cross-chain contract calls between Aurora and NEAR offer a powerful and flexible solution for developers and users who wish to access the benefits of both platforms. By leveraging the capabilities of Aurora and the NEAR Protocol, these communications enable seamless interaction between the two ecosystems. The goal of the block hashchain is to enable someone running a non-archival NEAR node to verify Aurora data is not tampered with while minimizing the on-chain overhead.
