The company has announced the launch of Aurora Blocks, a six-week incubator program aimed at accelerating the creation of EVM-compatible Virtual Chains within the NEAR ecosystem. The initiative is set to offer financial support totaling $250,000, which will be distributed among five selected teams. In addition to funding, participants will gain access to technical guidance, strategic business advice, and resources to support their go-to-market efforts.“We’re building the future of on-chain ecosystems – one Virtual Chain at a time,” said Alex Shevchenko, CEO of Aurora Labs, in a written statement. “This incubator is about more than funding; we’re giving teams the infrastructure, guidance, and momentum they need to launch real products, attract users, and scale. Aurora Blocks is what allows us to turn bold ideas into reality,” he added.Aurora Blocks is structured to provide early-stage blockchain teams with direct access to a consortium of established Web3 organizations specializing in areas such as infrastructure, security, funding, and user growth.

This effort forms part of Aurora’s long-term strategy to support the launch of 1,000 Virtual Chains during 2025, with the incubator positioned as a core mechanism for translating early-stage concepts into operational blockchain networks.Aurora Labs Opens Applications For Aurora Blocks Incubator, Offering Funding And Full-Stack Support Applications for participation in the Aurora Blocks incubator are currently being accepted through May 28th, via the official portal at aurorablocks.dev.
