What is Aura Finance?
Aura Finance is a decentralized protocol that enhances yield opportunities for users by building on top of the Balancer ecosystem. It creates an incentive layer for liquidity providers and governance participants, maximizing rewards through vote-locked token mechanics and community-led governance. Aura simplifies access to complex DeFi strategies and acts as a yield optimization hub within the broader Ethereum and EVM-compatible landscape.
Built on Balancer
Aura is deeply integrated with Balancer, a leading decentralized automated market maker (AMM). Users who provide liquidity on Balancer can deposit their Balancer LP (liquidity provider) tokens into Aura to earn amplified yield. Aura automatically boosts rewards through its native token mechanics, compounding returns from:
Trading fees on Balancer
BAL token emissions
AURA incentives
This triple-yield structure makes Aura a powerful yield-layer for passive and active DeFi users.
How Aura Works
The system revolves around three key components:
auraBAL: A token that represents BAL tokens locked in Aura's system for vote maximization.
veBAL: A vote-escrowed BAL token that allows users to participate in governance and boost rewards.
vlAURA: Vote-locked AURA, which provides voting power on emissions and receives bribes and incentives.
By staking BAL, converting to auraBAL, and locking AURA, users can participate in a virtuous cycle of compounding yield and governance power.
AURA Token Utility
The native token AURA has several important functions:
Staking: Locking AURA (vlAURA) gives users voting rights in Aura and indirect influence over Balancer emissions.
Incentives: Participants receive bribes and governance rewards based on their voting influence.
Governance: AURA holders actively shape the future of both Aura and Balancer through on-chain proposals.
Aura’s incentive model aligns long-term protocol growth with community participation and capital efficiency.
Cross-Chain DeFi and Expansion
Aura supports multiple EVM-compatible networks including Ethereum mainnet and Layer 2s like Arbitrum. By leveraging bridging infrastructure and smart contract modularity, Aura extends its reach across chains, making yield strategies more accessible and diverse. This cross-chain compatibility makes Aura a strong fit for projects seeking sustainable liquidity incentives without centralized dependencies.
Why Stake AURA?
Staking AURA is not just a way to earn rewards—it’s a path to governance influence and long-term protocol sustainability. By participating as a vlAURA holder, users can:
Influence which Balancer pools receive emissions
Earn bribes from third parties vying for vote weight
Help decentralize power within DeFi infrastructure
This makes AURA a strategic asset for both yield farmers and protocol builders.
