Got a great idea?
We got the launchpad.
Aurora Blocks is open.
An incubator for founders launching their own Virtual Chains.
You bring the vision. We’ll help you chain it.
Blink and it's final.
NEAR Protocol just dropped 600ms blocks + 1.2s finality on mainnet. Blazing-fast performance and secure execution—finally, a chain that delivers both
Some chains talk about fast blocks. NEAR delivers real finality in 1.2 seconds.
No compromises. No waiting. Just confidence.
⚡ 600ms blocks
🛡️ 1.2s finality

What Are @auroraisnear Virtual Chains?
I met up with @declan_hannon to finally understand everything.
TLDR: A custom blockchain you can launch in 30 seconds🤯
🛠 How It Works
You choose:
• Public or permissioned
• Gas model: NEAR, ETH, Aurora, or your own token
• Integrations: block explorer, oracle, multi-chain DEX
Click, Deploy, Done
🌐 Compatibility & Flexibility
Runs on NEAR -> connects instantly to dApps on Aurora and NEAR
Build your own dApp, or an entire ecosystem of dApps and games
Full control over:
• UX
• Fees
• Access levels (ex: user tiers)
🧩 Why Use It?
• Avoid congestion
• Operate in a dedicated environment for your users
• Customize and scale however you want
Deploy anything -> games, memecoins, dApps.
How Value Flows In
• Forwarder: lets users bring in tokens from CEXs like Binance, Coinbase, Bybit
• NEAR Intents: enables instant token swaps across chains (e.g., Solana to Bitcoin)
• Native onramps: included with every virtual chain
It’s not just a token, it’s a full blockchain
• self-contained
• customizable
• production-ready
Value accrues to your chain, not someone else’s.
As always, if you want something DONE, do it yourself.
Aurora Labs is going for a delegate in HoS. You can find a proposal here:

Virtual chains by @auroraisnear allow to get sovereign EVM blockspace while still benefitting from all the benefits of @NEARProtocol, fully inheriting security and censorship resistance, bridging and exchange integrations and all the other tooling.

1/ Bridge Abstraction is here: Effortlessly withdraw from CEXs to Aurora & other virtual blockchains. Prioritize project development over the hassle of listings simplifying your development journey!

2024 is the year that will define the rest of my life.
Honestly, I’m scared. But also hopeful that this community cares with a passion.
