Many don’t know the struggle of being a developer in Nigeria; from the high inflation rate of naira to the dollar, to the stress of learning how to build apps online. From the lack of local availability of essential educative material for app development, to the high cost of deploying an app on blockchain and much more. It’s agreed that being a developer in Nigeria is not for the weak. How about I ease your troubles by introducing you to Aurora and telling you how this decentralized application can change your life?

WHAT IS AURORA?

Aurora is a decentralized application platform based on third-generation blockchain technology dedicated to providing mature blockchain technology solutions for the entire industry. In simple terms, Aurora is a decentralized application built on the NEAR blockchain that provides Ethereum compatibility, NEAR Protocol scalability, and industry-first user experience through affordable transactions.

FEATURES OF AURORA

Aurora composes of many components that enable its super-fast transactions and easy creation of applications on it. It includes;

  • AURORA DEV APPLICATION INTEGRATION R&D PLATFORM; Blockchain Integration Development IDE supports multiple development languages; like Rust, Assembly scripts, and more.
  • AURORA DEX DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE; It accelerates the easy exchange of flats(dollar and other countries’ currency) and cryptocurrencies.
  • UPGRADABLE BLOCKCHAIN; Aurora’s DOA(Decentralized autonomous organization) are token holders and not CEOs who can vote on new changes and ideas.
  • AURORA CHAIN; Aurora’s Eco’s underlying chain is an EVM(Ethereum virtual machine), which provides commercial-grade platform technology for a range of companies as it provides any ERC project launching on aurora low transaction cost(less than a penny), fast speed and scalability.

BENEFITS OF AURORA TO NIGERIAN DEVELOPERS.

  • SAVES MONEY; Aurora is an EVM(Ethereum virtual machine) so it’s very easy for Nigerian developers to deploy solidity contracts they wrote for Ethereum on aurora and enjoy its low gas fee which is less than a penny. i.e 60 naira, compared to the expenses of deploying it on the main ETH network.
  • AURORA’S DOA; It enables Nigerian developers to actively participate in the Aurora chain decision-making process as a member of the DOA(Decentralized autonomous organization). Anyone can be a member of the DAO as long as they hold Aurora’s governance token $AOA in an approved wallet. This gives them the ability to elect and delegate to validate transactions for rewards.
  • AURORA’S BRIDGE; It enables Nigerian developers to move tokens btw Ethereum, Aurora, and Near blockchain and enjoy no congestion and scalability.
  • AURORA’S ANTI-QUANTUM ATTACK TECHNOLOGY; It enables advanced security and superior processing power of Aurora therefore Nigerian developers can be sure that whatever they deploy on the Aurora is safe and secure.
  • It supports many development languages and its easy to build on

CONCLUSION

Nigerian developers do face a lot of challenges that make it hard to effectively build and deploy apps in blockchain, however with the presence of Aurora, Nigerian developers can rest assured that their app security, scalability, cheap transaction, ease of building, and incentives are no longer problems to worry about.
