The NEAR Ecosystem has made some amazing strides this first quarter of 2023, here is a general synopsis of project, funding, developer, and DAO updates in the Ecosystem.
🟢 Aurora Borealis Business
Borealis Business is a transaction processing and accounting engine, that allows businesses to remove the concept of transaction fees from the experience of their users, and can support almost any conceivable blockchain business model.
🟢 Aurora Pass
Aurora Pass, coming soon to iOS and Android, that allows mobile-first Web2 businesses who adopt blockchain technologies to provide their customers with cost-and friction-free transaction signing using the Touch ID and Face ID biometric facilities they’ve come to know and love.
🟢 Aurora Silos
Aurora Silos are dedicated blockchains that can be provisioned for Aurora Cloud customers, that deliver a set of features eclipsing mere Ethereum compatibility.
With an Aurora Silo, businesses can leverage the benefits of blockchain in an environment that permits multiple levels of access control, custom token & transaction fee mechanics, while preserving full Ethereum & NEAR compatibility and interoperability with the outside world (🌈 Rainbow Bridge Built in)

✅ add standards key to ContractSourceMetadata, needs to be implemented
✅ introduces a flatten key/value mapping for the trie structure, making storage read cheaper and more efficient. This will also make it easier to estimate gas fees for a transaction.
✅ separates parameter compute costs from gas costs to limit the processing time. This mitigates the risks of undercharging without affecting existing contracts.
