Aura pays out to the people who make the market work. There are four programs, each aimed at a different job, and they stack: nothing stops you from creating markets, quoting on them, referring traders, and voting on disputes. All of them are funded from the same place, the 2.5% trading fee charged on executed volume and collected in USDT. Nothing here is paid by minting tokens.

Creator rewards

Propose a market, earn a tier-scaled slice of every trade on it for as long as it lives. Between 1% and 30% of the trading fee.

Liquidity rewards

Post resting limit orders near the midpoint and earn from a daily USDT pool worth 0.25% of the day’s volume.

Referral program

Bring traders in and earn 10% of the trading fee on everything they ever trade.

Dispute voting

Stake $AURA, vote correctly on contested outcomes, and get paid from the losing side’s slashed stake plus a cut of the market’s fees.

​
Where the fee goes

Every fill pays 2.5%. That single fee funds all four programs: Because the creator’s slice scales with tier, the treasury’s share is what flexes. A market created by a Degenerate-tier staker gives more to the creator and less to the treasury.

​
How payouts reach you

Two different timings, and it is worth knowing which is which.

At market resolution

Creator fees, referral fees, and dispute voter rewards accrue inside the market contract as trades happen, then pay out automatically once the market resolves. No claim, no button, no deadline.

Daily

Liquidity rewards are scored per day and paid the next day, independent of whether any market resolved.
Fees stay locked in the market until it resolves yes or no. This is why a TOO_EARLY dispute outcome pays nobody: the market returns to trading and its fees keep accruing until there is a real resolution. See Resolution and disputes.

​
Which program fits you

Creator rewards. Your earnings scale with how much volume your market attracts, so this rewards judgment about what people want to trade. Stake $AURA first, since your tier at propose time sets your cut.
Liquidity rewards. Quote both sides near the midpoint. Paid daily regardless of resolution, so the cycle is short.
Referral program. One link, and you earn on everything your referrals trade for as long as they trade.
Dispute voting. The highest rate of return and the only one that can lose you money. Backing a losing outcome costs you staked $AURA.
