# Welcome to Aura

> Decentralized prediction markets on Alephium — trade outcomes, propose markets, govern resolution.

Aura is your gateway to decentralized prediction markets built on Alephium,
empowering users to predict future events across diverse categories — real-world
occurrences, sports, elections, and crypto market movements. Aura leverages a
robust, transparent, and scalable system designed to reward accurate predictions,
incentivize market creation, and encourage active community governance.

Whether you're a trader looking to leverage your insights, a creator aiming to
earn rewards by establishing markets, or an active community member interested
in governance, Aura has a place for you.

## Build on Aura

The Aura API exposes everything a user can see or do in the app: markets,
prices, the order book, vault state, oracle and governance data, plus
**build-tx** endpoints that return *unsigned* transactions for your wallet to
sign. The API never holds private keys.
