Secret Network’s New Partnership Offers Complete Support to Aurora by Integrating Confidential Computing Layer
In addition to its social media announcement, Secret Network also shared a comprehensive blog post to provide the details. The platform mentioned that it intends to provide full support to Aurora through the integration of the Confidential Computing Layer. This will offer exclusive capabilities for Aurora and NEAR ecosystem-based applications.
The new benefits of this initiative take into account private voting concerning DAOs. They include protected random number creation for games, and access to private data through non-fungible tokens. Additionally, sealed-bid NFT auctions along with encrypted storage for diverse applications are also included among the latest features. Secret Network added that the integration permits them to lead toward exciting new use cases dealing with Web3.
Aurora operates as an Ethereum Virtual Machine that provides developers with a turn-key solution. It enables them to run their applications on a future-safe, scalable, high-throughput Ethereum-compatible forum. It imposes low transfer costs on the consumers. In the Aurora environment, there are several things such as the Aurora Engine, the Aurora Bridge, and a high-performance EVM. In this way, it facilitates trustless transactions of $ETH along with ERC-20 coins between Aurora and Ethereum.
Users Can Use Cross-Contract Calls to Interact with NEAR-Based Contracts
According to Secret Network, users can also interact with NEAR-based contracts through cross-contract calls. With this method, they can develop a NEAR app, enabling interaction with Secret Network. This lets them use confidential computing while leveraging Aurora in the form of a messaging bridge.
