Aura utilizes a tiered staking (vaulting) system powered by our native $AURA
token. Each tier grants unique privileges, increasing your ability to
influence governance decisions, propose new markets, and earn higher fee
shares.
Tiers at a glance
Fee sharing explained
Each market created on Aura generates fees from user transactions. Your tier
directly determines your share of these fees:
- Higher tiers receive a larger percentage of market-generated fees.
- Lower tiers receive smaller shares but still earn passive rewards for their
contributions.
For example, a Degenerate-tier user receives 30% of the fees generated by
the markets they create, maximizing passive income potential. Conversely, a
Bronze-tier user receives a modest yet consistent 3% fee share.
Your cut on each fill is the lower of your tier when you proposed the market
and your tier at that moment. So letting your stake fall (or requesting an
unlock, which drops your tier immediately) reduces what you earn on markets you
already created, while climbing higher later does not raise it above the tier you
proposed at. Stake before you propose.
This incentivizes community members to stake higher amounts of $AURA,
promoting active governance participation and quality market creation.
