Aura is a decentralized prediction platform built on Alephium, where users
can predict outcomes of future events, trade shares, and participate in
community governance.
What makes Aura different from other prediction markets?
Aura utilizes Alephium’s scalable blockchain, offering lower fees, faster
transactions, and a unique vaulting tier system that provides extensive
user benefits.
A passkey wallet is a non-custodial crypto wallet secured by your device’s
biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) instead of a seed phrase.
It’s the easiest way to get started on Aura.
Are passkey wallets safe?
Yes. Passkeys are fully non-custodial — your private key is stored only
in your device’s secure enclave. Aura never has access to your keys. This
provides the same security as traditional wallets without the risk of
losing a seed phrase.
Can I use my existing Alephium wallet?
Absolutely. If you already have an Alephium wallet (browser extension),
you can connect it directly. Passkeys are simply an additional option for
easier onboarding.
What if I lose my device?
Passkeys sync across your devices via iCloud (Apple), Google Password
Manager (Android), or Microsoft account (Windows). As long as you have
access to your cloud account, you can recover your wallet on a new
device.
Use the Deposit button in Aura and select your source chain
(Ethereum or BSC). Connect your EVM wallet (MetaMask, etc.), enter the
amount, and confirm. The Wormhole bridge will transfer your USDT to Aura
automatically.
How long does bridging take?
Typically 10–20 minutes. The time depends on network congestion and
Wormhole Guardian attestation.
Are there fees for bridging?
You pay the standard gas fee on your source chain (ETH or BSC). Aura does
not charge any additional deposit fees.
Is the bridge safe?
Yes. Aura uses Wormhole, one of the most trusted bridges in crypto. It’s
secured by 19 independent Guardian validators and has processed billions
of dollars in transfers.
Can I withdraw back to Ethereum or BSC?
Yes. Use the Withdraw function to bridge your USDT back to Ethereum
or BSC. The process takes about 10–20 minutes.
