AURORA is layer 2 of the NEAR blockchain, which was on sale on Coinlist.
NEAR is not compatible with blockchains such as Ethereum, but can be connected to the Ethereum network via AURORA, which is EVM compatible.
In this article, we would like to introduce the ‘AURORA is NEAR’ AURORA token.
AURORA Token
AURORA is a layer 2 blockchain created by the NEAR Protocol team and deployed on the NEAR chain.
AURORA tokens will be used as governance tokens and will be used to vote in the AuroraDAO.
The total number of AURORA tokens issued will be one billion and the token allocation will be as follows.

The unlocking graph is shown in the image.

AURORA Token Custom RPC
The AURORA network is compatible with ethereum and can be managed with meta masks.
To handle AURORA tokens in the metamask, enter information about the AURORA network in the ‘Custom RPC’ section of the metamask and display it.
Enter the following information in the metamask.
- Network name: Aurora Mainnet
- New RPC URL: https://mainnet.aurora.dev
- Chain ID: 1313161554
- Currency Symbol: ETH
- Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.mainnet.aurora.dev/
Aggregators that can bridge the AURORA chain
When moving crypto currency onto the AURORA chain, the methods used are.
Primarily, these cross-chain aggregators can be used to move from other chains to the AURORA chain.
Rainbow Bridge is the official cross-chain aggregator developed by NEAR.
AURORA⁺
AURORA tokens can be staked on the AURORA⁺ website, which gives you three other AURORA tokens, for a total of four crypto currencies.
Currently, AURORA, BSTN (Bastion) TRI (Trisolaris) and PLY (Aurigami) are the staking rewards, and you will also receive a VOTE token at the same time, which will be available for voting in the future.
Since the end of May 2022, when AURORA⁺ was released, 750 AURORA tokens had been staked.
Total staking rewards were approximately USD 520 over the three and a half month stake period (approximately USD 150 per month)
The table below shows.
| トークン | 枚数/時価 |
|---|---|
| AURORA | 166/$223 |
| USN | 280/$280 |
| BSTN | 3,770/$9.5 |
| PLY | 9,500/$12 |
| TRI | 25/$0.8 |
Withdrawal of rewards
Three types of rewards can be withdrawn at once using the ‘Claim’ button. It takes two days for the withdrawal to be reflected in the wallet when you press the withdraw button.
Gas money is much cheaper than BSC and can be withdrawn easily.
