Virtual Chains on Autopilot
summary
Aurora Cloud runs full EVM chains as smart contracts on NEAR, deploying a customizable chain in under 30 seconds for free, with USDT/USDC available from day one and Binance withdrawals via an integrated forwarder contract. Bridges (Wormhole, Rainbow), custodial integrations, indexers and Gnosis Safe are prewired and a marketplace auto-installs infra. Over 70 virtual chains launch in under two months and the goal is 1,000 chains in 2025; an automated DeFi stack (AMM, lending, oracles) lands in weeks.
