Secret Network has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Aurora, bringing together their respective technologies to create a powerful and secure platform. The collaboration involves integrating Secret Network’s Confidential Computing Layer with Aurora’s next-generation blockchain, which operates on the NEAR Protocol. This integration will provide Aurora and NEAR ecosystem-based applications with access to confidential computing support, documentation, and tooling.
In an official social media announcement, Secret Network shared the exciting news of the partnership. Additionally, they released a comprehensive blog post detailing the benefits of this integration. The main focus is on offering complete support to Aurora by leveraging Secret Network’s Confidential Computing Layer.
The integration of Secret Network’s Confidential Computing Layer with Aurora introduces several new features and capabilities. One of the highlights is the ability to conduct private voting for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). This ensures the confidentiality of voting results. The integration also enables the creation of protected random numbers for gaming applications and grants access to private data through non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In addition, users can participate in sealed-bid NFT auctions and benefit from encrypted storage for various applications. These new features open up exciting possibilities for the Web3 ecosystem.
Aurora, functioning as an Ethereum Virtual Machine, offers developers a turn-key solution for running their applications on a scalable, high-throughput, Ethereum-compatible forum. It boasts low transfer costs for consumers and provides seamless transactions of ETH and ERC-20 coins between Aurora and Ethereum. The Aurora environment consists of the Aurora Engine, Aurora Bridge, and a high-performance EVM, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience.
Furthermore, Secret Network highlights that users can interact with NEAR-based contracts through cross-contract calls. This means that developers can create NEAR apps that leverage Secret Network’s confidential computing capabilities while utilizing Aurora as a messaging bridge.
Overall, the partnership between Secret Network and Aurora promises to revolutionize the blockchain ecosystem. By combining their technologies, they enable secure and confidential transactions, private voting, and access to private data. This integration paves the way for new and innovative use cases in the Web3 space.
