Aurora Labs is beefing up the infrastructure side of its Cloud Console, which allows anyone to rapidly build and deploy a so-called Virtual Chain – essentially a private blockchain for their decentralized applications or memecoins. 

The company has just debuted the Aurora Cloud Console Marketplace, which is the next piece of the puzzle as far as simplifying blockchain development goes. Now, developers can not only quickly create their own Virtual Chain, but also integrate dozens of tools and services, including identity solutions, data oracles, payments, compute, data layers and security systems, with just a few clicks. 

The Aurora Cloud Console launched in January, offering a no-code platform for developers to quickly spin up their own, dedicated blockchain network without any coding skills. The Cloud Console makes creating and deploying a blockchain as simple as building an online store using Shopify, eliminating all of the technical aspects of network development. Users simply follow the step-by-step instructions, setting up parameters such as the native token and its supply, gas fee costs and what kinds of permissions are allowed. 

Once these parameters are set, the Console generates all of the code automatically to spin up a highly scalable Aurora Virtual Chain built atop of the NEAR Protocol, with enterprise-grade security, rapid transaction processing and EVM-compatibility baked in. Each Virtual Chain is immediately compatible with the rest of NEAR’s ecosystem of decentralized apps and Web3 services. According to Aurora, building a Virtual Chain is the easiest way to scale any dApp that’s struggling on slower platforms like Ethereum.

Despite the simplicity of the Aurora Cloud Console, developers still experienced some hassles when it came to integrating some specific Web3 features with their networks. Things like identity protocols and enhanced security measures required extensive engineering, and it’s this grunt work that Aurora wants to eliminate with the launch of its new Cloud Console Marketplace. 

The company has ambitions to see up to 1,000 Virtual Chain deployments within its first year, and the availability of the marketplace should go some way to helping it reach that target. By integrating a suite of ready-made Web3 services with just a couple of clicks, developers can avoid weeks of highly technical work on the infrastructure side. As a result, they’ll be able to focus all of their energies on building their dApps features and capabilities, the company said. 

Aurora Labs Chief Executive Officer Alex Shevchenko said he’s trying to eliminate the very real problem of “infra fatigue”, which results in hundreds of lost hours as developers try to figure out how to integrate various Web3 services into their dApps and memecoins. 

“That’s time that should go into the product: UX, growth and the community,” he argued. “The ACC Marketplace solves that upfront, so teams can focus on shipping.”

Some of the ready-made Web3 components available in the marketplace at launch include decentralized identity services such as Billions Network, previously known as Privado ID, reputation management systems such as Cookie DAO, and data oracle providers like API3, Blocksense and DIA. Other offerings include security tools from Hashlock, compute services from Aleph Cloud and token-related services from Enzyme Finance and Cede Labs. There are also simple integrations with the Cluster XYZ name service, and PhronAI’s artificial intelligence models. 

DIA Head of Business Development Dillon Hanson said the integrations pave the way for Virtual Chains to launch with vast functionality from the beginning. 

“It’s a major step towards making fully verifiable and trustless data a default layer for new blockchain ecosystems,” he insisted. “By enabling the interaction of DIA oracles into chains launched via Aurora Cloud, we’re enabling builders to access transparent, trustless data infrastructure from day one.” 

For Aurora Labs, the new marketplace brings it much closer to its mission of making Web3 infrastructure more modular and developer-friendly, making it much easier for traditional enterprises to explore blockchain-powered innovation.
