Aurora Mainnet Outage Leaves EVM Network Down
The outage affects an EVM network whose TVL has fallen 99% from its 2022 peak, underscoring the shrinking capital base behind Aurora.
Aurora is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) built on the NEAR Protocol, designed to provide developers with a turn-key environment for deploying and operating decentralized applications. It delivers Ethereum compatibility while leveraging the underlying performance characteristics of NEAR, including high throughput, scalability, and low transaction costs for end users. The platform functions as a bridge between the Ethereum and NEAR ecosystems, allowing Solidity-based smart contracts and existing Ethereum tooling to run without modification. This enables projects originally built for Ethereum to migrate or expand onto NEAR while maintaining familiar development workflows. AURORA is the native token of the Aurora network and operates within the broader NEAR Protocol and Ethereum ecosystems. The project is also associated with the Aurora Ecosystem and is backed by notable venture firms, including DWF Labs, DragonFly Capital, and Pantera Capital, reflecting institutional participation across multiple categories in the crypto space.

The May rally tracks real protocol substance — automatic network scaling lands in June and the AI-agent use case is what the upgrade is being built for.
Aurora is an EVM built on the NEAR Protocol, delivering a turn-key solution for developers to operate their apps on an Ethereum-compatible, high-throughput, scalable and future-safe platform, with low transaction costs for their users.
