In an exclusive interview with Hackernoon, Dr. Alex Shevchenko, a physicist and blockchain innovator, discusses Aurora's innovative approach to enhancing blockchain accessibility via the Aurora Cloud Console. Drawing on his background from Bitfury and the development of Exonum, Dr. Shevchenko shares insights on how Aurora's Virtual Chain technology eliminates the hefty multi-million dollar cost typically associated with blockchain deployment. As blockchain adoption surges ahead of 2025, Dr. Shevchenko highlights the potential of Aurora's no-code platform to redefine how blockchain networks are initiated and managed. He notes that the complexity of blockchains often hinders adoption; thus, making the onboarding process simpler is crucial. The Aurora Cloud Console allows for easy deployment of custom blockchains, leveraging the security of the NEAR blockchain through virtual chains implemented as smart contracts. This architecture ensures that virtual chains are both easy to customize and deploy, sharing the security assurances of the NEAR ecosystem with a substantial validator network. Dr.
Shevchenko addresses how the Aurora Cloud Console aims to facilitate projects that might have previously been too costly or resource-intensive to pursue. By eliminating deployment cost, it opens doors for early-stage founders to iterate and achieve product-market fit rapidly. The platform is designed for both technical and non-technical users, featuring guided selections and real-time monitoring while maintaining a robust support system for more complex inquiries. He emphasizes that Aurora not only ensures Ethereum compatibility but seeks to enhance cross-chain interactions, vital for the evolving multichain landscape. With technologies like chain signatures, users can interact seamlessly among various blockchain ecosystems from the outset. Reflecting on past initiatives to simplify blockchain deployment, Dr. Shevchenko underscores the importance of addressing real problems rather than retrofitting solutions. He believes that the ideal launch solution should be rapid, decentralized, and comprehensive from the start, a vision that Aurora Cloud is approaching with 90% completion. Looking forward to 2025, Dr. Shevchenko expresses excitement over the future of the Virtual Chain ecosystem, aiming to enable the launch of 1, 000 Virtual Chains and continuing to democratize blockchain access for users across various sectors.
