Aurora is an EVM-compatible blockchain providing high throughput and low fees. Build decentralized apps using the RPC gateway.
Aurora is a fully EVM-compatible, Ethereum Layer-2-like environment built on the NEAR Protocol. It leverages NEAR's sharded, proof-of-stake architecture to provide fast, scalable, and low-cost execution of Ethereum smart contracts. Aurora operates as a smart contract on NEAR, allowing developers to use existing Ethereum tooling—such as MetaMask and Truffle—while benefiting from NEAR's performance advantages. Its RPC documentation gives developers detailed access to blockchain data, transaction submission, and smart contract management through a familiar Ethereum interface, making Aurora an optimal choice for deploying and scaling decentralized applications.
