Ethereum Aurora Scaling Solution Unveils ‘Strategic Partnership’ for Web3 Workers

Aurora – an Ethereum virtual machine (EVM)-enabled scaling and bridging solution built on top of the NEAR Protocol blockchain network – announced a strategic partnership with a blockchain-based job co-op for the Web3 ecosystem called Opolios.

Aurora-Opolios partnership

According to the official press release shared with CryptoPotatothe latest integration will enable USDC Payments on the Aurora Network for Freelancers to speed up payment processes, increase flexibility, and provide better access to pay workers in preferred currencies.

This partnership between Aurora and Opolios should also have a positive impact on Web3 businesses as well as freelancers working across the world to manage their payroll more efficiently.

Opolios members will also be able to receive on-chain payments in USDC.e or USDC on the Aurora network. On the other hand, businesses operating within the Aurora ecosystem will be able to leverage the Opolis platform to streamline freelance payments and fund payroll. Such a move could potentially fuel increased “financial flexibility” as well as “operational efficiency.”

Commenting on the latest development, Anton Paisov, Head of Integrations at Aurora, said:

“We are on the verge of a workplace revolution that will offer workers greater autonomy, flexibility and satisfaction than a traditional ‘career’ ever could. What Opolis wants to do is empower people to work the way they want and make all the scary administrative tasks easier. This integration with Aurora furthers this goal by opening up access to people who prefer payment in digital currencies.

Aurora Q1 performance

Aurora recently launched a new partner program aimed at supporting builders in the ecosystem. Its Aurora V2 validator has also been relaunched, allowing Aurora DAO delegators to receive staking rewards in both AURORA and NEAR. Additionally, he ended his partnership with Etherscan, which resulted in the dismantling of Aurorascan.

Aurora, along with Sweat Economy, Spin.fi, and NEAR Crowd, contributed significantly to Near Protocol’s daily active counts in Q1 2023. According to Messari’s reportthe average number throughout the period was around 64,000.
