Jakarta – Aurora Labs is breaking down the barriers to blockchain adoption with the launch of its Aurora Cloud Console (ACC) Marketplace, a platform designed to streamline the creation of customized blockchains with just a few simple steps.
The ACC Marketplace integrates virtual chain deployment, plug-and-play services, and cross-chain functionality into one user-friendly interface. The goal: eliminate many of the technical complexities that have traditionally deterred businesses from embracing decentralized network solutions.
A New Era of Blockchain Customization
At its core, the Aurora ACC Marketplace offers a modular Web3 platform where users can launch tailored blockchain networks. Companies and developers can choose between public or private chains, configure base tokens, set gas fee structures, and personalize the chain’s name—all through an intuitive setup process. The platform also includes a suite of integrated services such as identity verification (KYC), fiat on-ramp options, automated market makers (AMMs), oracle services, and gas management tools.
Aurora Labs CEO Alex Shevchenko noted that the platform’s virtual chain model has already been utilized by projects such as RWA Optima. Thanks to its architecture, all virtual chains on Aurora’s platform are interoperable, allowing seamless communication between applications built on the NEAR Protocol.
Each new chain benefits from the robust security infrastructure of NEAR, which includes over 235 validators securing deposits exceeding $2.5 billion. With a two-second finality and minimal transaction fees, users can bypass the complexities of building a custom validator network, significantly accelerating deployment timelines while maintaining high levels of security.
Simplifying Blockchain for Enterprise Adoption
The ACC Marketplace’s inherited security model positions it as an attractive solution for enterprises looking to incorporate blockchain technology without the typical risks associated with launching new blockchain infrastructures. By combining Aurora’s virtual chain approach with NEAR’s trusted security framework, the platform offers businesses a scalable, secure, and efficient pathway to Web3 adoption.
“With ACC Marketplace, blockchain no longer needs to be viewed as a complex technological challenge,” Shevchenko explained. “We are enabling companies to treat blockchain implementation like any other IT project.”
Bridging Web2 and Web3 with SaaS Principles
Aurora’s approach mirrors the familiar Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment models widely used in Web2, bringing cloud-like simplicity to blockchain development. Companies across industries—finance, supply chain management, gaming, and digital identity—can now leverage the ACC Marketplace to quickly integrate blockchain solutions into their operations.
The platform’s flexibility also supports the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), extending blockchain’s reach beyond decentralized finance (DeFi) into mainstream enterprise applications.
Paving the Way for Broader Blockchain Adoption
With the ACC Marketplace, Aurora Labs is lowering the entry point for businesses to harness blockchain technology, making it more accessible, affordable, and practical for a wide range of industries. As blockchain continues to evolve, solutions like Aurora’s are helping to position decentralized technologies as a fundamental component of modern IT infrastructure.
