Aurora developers, the layer-2 protocol for the NEAR network, announced the launch of the Aurora+ platform with staking of the native token. It will be distributed via an airdrop, according to the press release.<\/p>\n

Rewards are available in both the native token and from the ecosystem’s decentralized applications.<\/p>\n

In addition to the AURORA airdrop, developers promised to randomly distribute 111 NFTs from the new Aurobots collection by Mr.Brown. Token holders will be entitled to 500 free transactions per month.<\/p>\n

In the future, the functionality of Aurora+ will expand to include participation in the governance of AuroraDAO, as well as private transactions. In addition, paid premium plans for a higher number of transactions and a universal Know Your Customer (KYC) for all applications are expected.<\/p>\n

The NEAR Protocol team launched<\/a> the Aurora L2 protocol to interact with Ethereum in May 2021.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the total value locked in DeFi protocols on Aurora stands at $469.2 million, according to DeFi Llama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About 55% of the total is attributable to Bastion. In March 2022 the project attracted undisclosed seed funding. In April Bastion closed a Series A round of $9 million led by Three Arrows Capital.<\/p>\n

The Aurora ecosystem is also backed by Pantera Capital, Electric Capital, Dragonfly Capital, Alameda Research, and other venture investors.<\/p>\n

In May, the Aurora team launched a $90 million fund to support DeFi projects.<\/p>\n
