Aurora’s $AURORA Token Listed on Revolut as Declan Hannon Takes Over as CEO

• Users of the Revolut app have the ability to purchase, hold, and track $AURORA right inside the app, in addition to more than 250 major cryptocurrencies.
• This next phase of Aurora’s development is reflected in the Revolut listing and leadership update.

Aurora has made the announcement that its native token, $AURORA, is now accessible on Revolut, which is a global fintech app that has more than 65 million users all around the globe. The announcement comes with a change in leadership, as Declan Hannon has been appointed to the position of CEO.

Users of the Revolut app have the ability to purchase, hold, and track $AURORA right inside the app, in addition to more than 250 major cryptocurrencies. Through the use of fiat on-ramps, recurring buys, price notifications, and in-app portfolio management, the listing provides rapid access to millions of retail consumers.

Aurora makes it possible for organizations to create and administer their own EVM-compatible blockchains on NEAR without having to run validators or manage core infrastructure. Using this paradigm, builders are able to reap the advantages of their own chain while also inheriting the scalability and interoperability of NEAR. In addition, Aurora develops Calyx, which is a cross-chain token launchpad that is driven by NEAR Intents. This platform makes it possible for projects to launch tokens and communicate with users belonging to key ecosystems like Solana, Base, and TON via a single flow.

Declan Hannon, CEO of Aurora said:

During the course of the transition, Alex Shevchenko will be transitioning into a position as a strategic adviser, with a particular emphasis on NEAR Intents and protocol-level innovation. Meanwhile, Aurora will be gearing up for commercial development and adoption. Declan offers a wealth of experience in growing consumer-facing businesses, including previous experience working at Revolut.

This next phase of Aurora’s development is reflected in the Revolut listing and leadership update. This phase involves increasing real use and connecting blockchain technology to daily consumers.

Builders are given the ability to start, grow, and go multichain via the use of the underlying technology by Aurora Protocol. Builders are able to deploy their EVM-compatible blockchains using NEAR Protocol by utilizing its infrastructure. This allows them to obtain quick scalability, speed, and security without the burden of hefty infrastructure overhead. Governing the protocol is the Aurora Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), which is also in charge of the $AURORA utility Token. This organization is also the body that is accountable for voting on important strategic proposals, treasury allocation, and future protocol improvements.

Building, maintaining, and updating the Aurora Protocol is the responsibility of Aurora Labs, the development firm that is responsible for putting the choices made by the DAO into action.
