# Aurora

> Aurora is an EVM-compatible blockchain platform for launching fully customizable Virtual Chains that run as smart contracts on the NEAR Protocol. It pairs full Ethereum tooling compatibility with NEAR's low fees, sub-second block times, and fast finality. The primary developer surface is an Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC 2.0 API on public mainnet and testnet endpoints.
