Aurora vs IoTeX

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.

IoTeX is a blockchain platform designed specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. It aims to address the scalability, privacy, and security challenges associated with connecting billions of devices to the internet. IoTeX utilizes a unique architecture that combines blockchain, decentralized identity, and secure hardware to create a trusted and privacy-centric infrastructure for IoT applications. It offers lightweight and efficient consensus mechanisms, support for trusted computing environments, and privacy-preserving techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs.
