About Blockchains
About Aurora
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.
About Polkadot
Polkadot stands out among other blockchain projects for its focus on enhancing the foundational infrastructure of dApps. It aims to enable interoperability between blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless communication without intermediaries. Functioning as a "network of networks," Polkadot utilizes parachains — specialized blockchains with unique functionalities and tokens — to enable interaction between diverse blockchain architectures. Powered by the nominated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and drawing inspiration from the Ouroboros protocol, Polkadot offers a robust framework for building interconnected and scalable decentralized systems.
