Near Protocol developers launched a second -level protocol for Ethereum

The Near Protocol project has announced the launch of the Aurora second -level protocol for interacting with Ethereum blockchain.

The solution allows the developers of decentralized applications (DAPPS) on the NEAR platform to use the capabilities of the network of the second in capitalization of cryptocurrency with a lower gas and quick transactions, the press release said.

To ensure unhindered interaction, Aurora combines two main technologies: a full-functional virtual machine Ethereum (EVM) and a cross-bridge based on Rainbow Bridge.

According to the statement, the decision supports the average cost of transactions “into several cents”, bypassing the expenses of the Ethereum commission, which have reached a record values. The protocol also “radically” accelerates transactions.

“Aurora allows developers to expand the NEA smart contracts existing in the Solidity and Vyper, while users can freely gain access to these applications using Metamask and other Ethereum Koshelki,” the press release said.

Recall that the launch of the main network Near Protocol took place in October 2020.
