Secret Network’s new partnership provides full support to Aurora by integrating the confidential computing layer
In addition to the social media announcement, Secret Network also shared an extensive blog post to provide the details. The platform mentioned that it wants to provide Aurora with full support through the integration of the Confidential Computing Layer. This provides exclusive capabilities for Aurora and NEAR-based ecosystem applications.
The new benefits of this initiative take into account private votes on DAOs. They include securely creating random numbers for games and accessing private data via non-fungible tokens. In addition, NFT auctions with sealed bid and encrypted storage for various applications are also among the latest features. Secret Network added that the integration will allow them to lead into exciting new use cases related to Web3.
Aurora operates as an Ethereum Virtual Machine that provides developers with a turnkey solution. It allows them to run their applications in a future-proof, scalable, Ethereum-compatible forum with high throughput. It entails low transfer costs for consumers. In the Aurora environment there are several things such as the Aurora Engine, the Aurora Bridge and a powerful EVM. In this way, it facilitates reliable transactions of $ETH along with ERC-20 coins between Aurora and Ethereum.
Users can use cross-contract calls to communicate with NEAR-based contracts
According to Secret Network, users can also interact with NEAR-based contracts through cross-contract calls. This method allows them to develop a NEAR app, allowing interaction with Secret Network. This allows them to use confidential computing and use Aurora in the form of a messaging bridge.
