Hey Aurorians, how would you define Virtual Chains?

Here’s the definition we came up with:
“Fast and simple deployment of fully customizable, interoperable, EVM-compatible chains within the NEAR Protocol ecosystem, minimizing costs and complexity.”

Would you tweak it? Let us know your thoughts!

By the way, there’s no Alpha Leaks session today, but don’t worry—we’ll be back next week, on the 10th, with plenty of exciting updates. Thanks for sticking with us, and stay tuned!

2024 was just the start. The first Virtual Chains launched, unlocking a new era of scalability, and making Aurora the Network of Virtual Chains.

➡️In 2025, we’re setting our sights on 1,000 Virtual Chains on top of
NEAR Protocol, a massive leap forward for innovation and adoption.

➡️Trailblazers like Turbo, TPRO Network, and Arium are already live. Soon, StrawberryAI, Rhodes INC,
Supernova Games, OPENFORMAT, and
Optima Financial will join the movement - along with many more.

➡️And very, very soon, you'll have a Shopify-like experience for launching your own chain on Aurora Cloud.

➡️On top of that, Aurora mainnet (the first Virtual Chain) partnered with Stargate, Münzen, Allstake, PipeFlare, Eggo Quest,
Pyth Network, and Secret Network, and the $AURORA token was listed on Bybit, WhiteBit, Deepcoin News and dYdX.

➡️And don’t forget: all the resources available on Aurora Mainnet will be instantly accessible to every new Virtual Chain from day one.

➡️So if you want to start 2025 with a bang,  schedule your demo now at auroracloud.dev and join the ecosystem faster than you can say “decentralization” with a mouthful of holiday sweets.

Aurora Essentials - # 1 Virtual Chains

We’re kicking off a series that explains the core of Aurora, Aurora Labs, and what we have done to become "The network of Virtual Blockchains"

So, what on earth are Virtual Chains?
(Grab your 🍿 and follow the 🧵!)

1] Virtual Chains are basically supercharged, customizable blockchains built right on top of NEAR - think of Aurora as their charming, EVM-compatible twin sister who just can’t resist lending a helping hand. They let you tap into NEAR’s robust infrastructure from day one. It’s like having a reliable roommate who also makes great pancakes.

2] Virtual Chains are fully interoperable with NEAR and seamlessly tucked into its ecosystem. This means no more nightmares setting up complex L2 configurations or pricey stand-alone blockchains. It’s like going from “I need an engineering degree for this” to “Look ma, I’m building blockchains!” in record time.

3] Virtual Chains allow communities to coordinate, incentivize, and align their efforts at low cost and with exceptional scalability. Thus the 1000 chains goal you've heard us talk about for 2025. It can, actually, be a much larger number. The sky is the limit. Pun intended.

4] The flexibility of Virtual Chains is a total game-changer for DeFi, gaming, and basically any industry that wants to do their own thing in their own way. Need a DeFi platform to handle liquidity like a pro bartender pouring drinks? Done. Want your gaming chain to feel like it’s on roller skates? Easy. Thinking about a memecoin…?

5] Turbo just launched TurboChain, a good example of a Virtual Chain can have many purposes. It's the first AI Memecoin blockchain and introduces unmatched speed, scalability, and customization, unlocking new possibilities for the $TURBO ecosystem. But where does all this customization power come from?
➡️Check out more info here

6] This customization power comes from Aurora Cloud, available at auroracloud.dev and designed to grow with your projects. It's got everything you need to build, scale and monitor - all in one place . It's big secret is that it allows you to skip all the complex stuff and skip to building. (Console to be released in Q1, 2025 - now you get the same customization with a little more human help)

7] TL;DR
Virtual chains enable faster, more cost-effective deployments without compromising security. They let you build ecosystems in the blink of an eye, ultimately saving you the one thing you can’t get back: time.

If you made it this far without dozing off, we’d love a comment, a demo booking, or for you to crash our Discord party at discord.gg/auroralabs. Come see what we’re building - you know you’re curious.
