Aurora Announces Live Giveaway During Alpha Leaks #250

Aurora is set to hold a giveaway on September 11th during Alpha Leaks #250, where three winners will be selected live and split $600 in AURORA. The entries are based on participants' creative responses created using Turbo and Aurora Intents, with a chainless-themed twist.

Aurora is a developer-friendly platform built on the NEAR protocol, allowing for easy porting of smart contracts from Ethereum to NEAR. It leverages the benefits of NEAR's impressive block time, 2-second finality, and transaction fees of less than 1 cent due to the cost of gas.

The platform's primary objective is to facilitate the scalability of the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing developers to run their applications on a high-throughput, Ethereum-compatible, future-proof platform with low transaction costs for users. Another important aspect of Aurora's goal is to increase the level of decentralization in the blockchain ecosystem through AuroraDAO, where holders of AURORA governance tokens can participate in decisions regarding the management and development of Aurora.
