Aurora collaborates with Proximity Labs

The Aurora DAO has decided to provide Proximity Labs 25 million AURORA tokens, valued at around $90 million, from its treasury, entrusting their DeFi expertise to help the Aurora ecosystem develop even faster. 

The company has joined hands with Proximity Labs to launch the fund today, according to a recent release by Proximity. The fund will be focused on supporting decentralized finance (DeFi) apps using the Near protocol.

Proximity will use the funds to provide grants to the projects that are most important to Aurora's success, as well as attract new talent and ideas.

Commenting on this significant step, the founder of Aurora Labs, Dr. Alex Shevchenko, said that the DAO continues its mission to expand the Ethereum economy outside the Ethereum chain. He added:

"This grant is the next big step in the development of the Aurora ecosystem, and I'm happy that Proximity Labs accompanies us on this journey."

What is Aurora?

Aurora is an EVM-compatible execution environment based on the NEAR Protocol that enables Ethereum scaling through high throughput and low transaction costs. Aurora has experienced exponential growth in recent months, thanks to the introduction of its major projects: Aurigami, Bastion, and Trisolaris.

Its total value locked (TVL) has more than doubled since the start of the year, reaching $1.3 billion in May. With over 100 projects in its ecosystem, it is presently in the Top 10 EVM networks on DeFi Llama.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
