Gibraltar, British Overseas Territories, February 25th, 2025, Chainwire The Gibraltar-based company publicly released its roadmap today, outlining key features such as the ability to withdraw funds directly from CEXs to your Virtual Chain, cross-chain swaps and deposits, advanced gas fee management, and the addition of fiat on-ramp platforms. Aurora Labs has introduced a new feature in its Cloud Console that automates blockchain deployment. Anyone, without any coding background, can now launch a custom chain in under a minute, with no manual setup required. The release of automation for the Aurora Cloud Console (ACC) marks the first milestone in a comprehensive 2025 roadmap aimed at transforming blockchain infrastructure within the NEAR ecosystem. By eliminating complexities associated with custom blockchain creation, Aurora Cloud Console enables developers and businesses to launch tailored chains with unprecedented speed. Core features of Aurora Cloud Console include: Guided onboarding process Customizable parameters (permissions, base token, gas fees, integrations) Real-time transaction usage monitoring Real-time tracking of chain deployment progress Aurora Cloud Console is the foundation of an ambitious plan to scale to 1,000 custom chains by year-end. This initial automation breakthrough streamlines deployment, overcoming traditional barriers such as prolonged setup times and the need for specialized expertise. Aurora’s Q1 roadmap outlines a series of enhancements designed to further simplify and expand blockchain functionality. As Aurora Labs CEO, Alex Shevchenko puts it: “Aurora Cloud Console creates a future where launching a blockchain is as easy as deploying a smart contract. With 1,000 chains on the horizon, we’re building an ecosystem where anyone can create without limits, scale without friction, and tap into the full power of NEAR’s network. The barriers are gone. Anyone can be a Builder now.” Forthcoming upgrades include the integration of Forwarder and Intents support together with automated bridge configuration to enhance interoperability. This will be followed by one-click Oracle deployment, allowing projects to tap into pricing data from services such as CoinGecko or Dexscreener, as well as full gas management and customizable chain permissions. During Q1, Aurora Labs also intends to introduce instant DEX deployment via Trisolaris, automated gas plans, and on/offramp integrations for seamless fiat-crypto transitions. Later in the year, Aurora Labs’ roadmap features plans to introduce stablecoins and BTC as base tokens, universal indexing for virtual chains, recycling of inactive chains, and expanded Intents for on-chain automation. The automation of ACC aligns with the growth of Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS), where demand for scalable, efficient blockchain solutions is surging. ACC’s no-cost launch model and full customizability will democratize access for a new wave of projects within the thriving NEAR and Aurora ecosystems. The enhancements to Aurora Cloud Console position Aurora Labs at the forefront of mainstreaming blockchain access and pave the way for plans to integrate AI, intents, and expanded use cases that will drive future growth. About Aurora Labs Aurora is a network of Virtual Chains that are fully customizable, EVM-compatible chains that run as smart contracts on NEAR Protocol. Virtual Chains offer developers the scalability and speed they need, without the high costs and complexity of setting up a traditional L2 infrastructure. By integrating a high-performance EVM, the trustless Intents layer, and advanced Cross Contract Call technology, Aurora goes beyond full Ethereum compatibility, opening the doors to a multichain world.
