Aurora has announced that its native token, $AURORA, is now available on Revolut, the global fintech app with over 65 million users worldwide. The update coincides with a leadership transition, with Declan Hannon appointed CEO.

Revolut users can buy, hold, and track $AURORA directly in-app, alongside more than 250 major cryptocurrencies. The listing gives millions of retail users instant access via fiat on-ramps, recurring buys, price alerts, and in-app portfolio management.

Aurora enables teams to launch and operate their own EVM-compatible blockchains on NEAR, without running validators or managing core infrastructure. This model gives builders the benefits of their own chain while inheriting NEAR’s scalability and interoperability. Aurora also builds Calyx, a cross-chain token launchpad powered by NEAR Intents, enabling projects to launch tokens and reach users across major ecosystems such as Solana, Base, and TON through a single flow.

Declan Hannon, CEO of Aurora said: “Listing on Revolut expands access to $AURORA as the ecosystem grows. Our focus is execution – helping teams launch chains, ship products, and reach users at scale.”

As part of the transition, Alex Shevchenko moves into a strategic advisor role, focusing on NEAR Intents and protocol-level innovation, while Aurora shifts toward commercial growth and adoption. Declan brings extensive expertise in scaling consumer-facing products, including prior experience at Revolut.

The Revolut listing and leadership update reflect Aurora’s next phase: scaling real usage and connecting blockchain infrastructure to everyday users.

About Aurora

Aurora Protocol is the underlying technology that empowers builders to launch, scale, and go multichain. With its infrastructure, builders can deploy their EVM-compatible blockchains on NEAR Protocol, gaining instant scalability, speed, and security without the heavy infrastructure overhead. The protocol is governed by Aurora DAO, responsible for the $AURORA utility Token, which is the body responsible for voting on key strategic proposals, treasury allocation, and future protocol upgrades.

Aurora Labs is the development company that builds, maintains and updates the Aurora Protocol, implementing the decisions made by the DAO.
