AURORA COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: AURORA VIRTUAL EVENT AT NEARCON 2022.
In this week’s spotlight series we will be talking about an exciting event within the most anticipated crypto event this year. NEARCON!
NEARCON is all over the NEAR/AURORA space and it is going to be HUGE, recently we published a long Twitter thread detailing the amazing activities to expect at NEARCON and why you shouldn’t miss it, you can check that out HERE.
However, we want to talk about an exciting side event that will be hosted during NEARCON and that is AURORA VIRTUAL EVENT DAY.
AURORA VIRTUAL EVENT DAY was conceived by the Aurora community and we have now secured the support and sponsorship from Aurigami and Metapool as HEADLINE SPONSOR and GOLD SPONSOR respectively and also attendance of some of the biggest names within the Aurora ecosystem! Including our very own CEO: Alex Shevchenko
SO WHAT IS THE AURORA VIRTUAL EVENT ABOUT?
The Virtual event is aimed at providing something for everyone within the Aurora ecosystem during NEARCON, we understand that while most of you would have been delighted to physically be at NEARCON, a lot of our Enthusiastic members may not be able to make it to the event due to a couple of reasons ranging from other equally important commitments, cost or distance. So we scheduled a fully virtual event within NEARCON to ensure you don’t miss out completely on the NEARCON vibes!
The Aurora virtual event will be held during NEARCON on the 13th of this month! The timeline for the discussions is between 12 pm UTC to 4 pm UTC, across the three various topics, if you cannot attend all of them, you should make sure to attend at least one of them, because apart from insightful discussions with Aurora founders and builders, there’s Sponsored Giveaways for active participant!!!
Let’s have a concise look at what will be discussed at the NEARCON Aurora Virtual Event:
BUILDING COMMUNITIES ON AURORA AND ACCESSING GRANTS.
SPEAKERS: ALEX BOTEZATU[Head of Community and Grants on Aurora]
This topic is fundamental, especially in the Aurora ecosystem. Communities are an integral part of any ecosystem, it is the community layer of an ecosystem that shapes the Vibes, culture and behavior of users and builders within the ecosystem. A toxic and redundant community will directly affect the growth of an ecosystem, while a healthy community will enhance its development, it is, therefore, necessary to understand the proper approach to building healthy communities within the Aurora ecosystem as well as how to effectively access support from the Aurora team through grants. If you’re a community builder within Aurora or anywhere else, this discussion promises to be extremely insightful for you specially.
IMPORTANCE OF BOUNTIES TO THE SECURITY OF AURORA.
SPEAKERS: ALEX SHEVCHENKO[CEO of @AURORAISNEAR], MITCHELL AMADOR OF IMMUNIFI, PWINING[WINNER OF $6MILLION BOUNTY], BASTION FOUNDERS, AURIGAMI FOUNDERS, TRISOLARIS FOUNDERS.
Bounty programs are targeted at incentivizing individuals who successfully help a tech product identify bugs within its design, that could potentially harm it. In the course of crypto ecosystem development, bug bounties have acted as a mechanism for facilitating the effective security of the ecosystem. Security is fundamental in this space because of the huge amount of builders’ and investors’ funds that are secured within it.
In the case of Aurora, our ecosystem has grown tremendously and at its all-time high the TVL within the network was over $2 Billion. The role bounties have played in the security of the Aurora ecosystem cannot be overemphasized, recently rainbow bridge was attacked however the attack was effectively resisted. Such formidable security can only be guaranteed when substantial attention and investment are made by the network. Also recently, Bastion announced a $250k bounty program in partnership with Immunifi.
This topic is extremely important, and you’ll get to learn and understand how Aurora has been able to secure the Aurora network. We were able to gather the support of not just Aurora CEO but also Mitchell Amador of Immunifi who founded the biggest bug bounty platform in crypto for this particular discussion!
ABC ON PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION ON AURORA.
SPEAKERS: MATT HENDERSON[Head of Product Dev], ANTON [Head of Integration, Aurora]
Product development in this context involves the complete procedure for successful development and unveiling of a product(DApp, NFT) to the ecosystem, And how to effectively integrate the such product with Aurora.
As a builder or potential builder, you don’t want to miss this discussion, come and listen to the best minds and experts on Aurora talk about what is required for successful product development and integration with the ecosystem.
CONCLUSION
Aurora’s virtual event promises to be a very exciting and insightful one.
