Aurora is a second—level blockchain (Layer-2) built on top of Near Protocol and supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

Aurora provides extremely low cost and high transaction speed. The network is fully compatible with Ethereum, including the ETH token, which is used as a base token to pay for transactions.

The Aurora network is great for gaming and multiplayer projects.
