Aurora is a solution designed to facilitate the seamless transition of Ethereum users and decentralized applications (dApps) to the NEAR blockchain. It enables users to accomplish two key functions: deploy and interact with Solidity smart contracts on the NEAR blockchain, and transfer assets (including ERC-20 tokens) between Ethereum, NEAR, and Aurora through the Rainbow Bridge. The base token of Aurora is ETH, providing users with a familiar and optimal tooling experience for developers. The AURORA token serves as a governance token, ensuring proper protocol upgrades. Aurora is governed by AuroraDAO, which comprises representatives from various ecosystems and sectors within the blockchain industry.
