Aura Intern 💜

We mentioned that @AuraFinance maximizes yield for Balancer LPs that can earn boosted BAL rewards, trading fees, and liquidity mining rewards without locking any BAL into the protocol. Those trading fees over BAL revenue, are all shared with Aura users. 1/x🧵

Delegate your vlAURA today to be eligible for this epoch's rewards!

We are pleased to announce that @StakeDAOHQ has opened a Votemarket for vlAURA holders to delegate their votes to, as well as for incentive providers to bid for those votes. The next epoch begins January 14th at 12am UTC, delegate before then to have StakeDAO vote on your behalf. Delegate votes: votemarket.stakedao.org/balancer/deleg… Provide incentives: votemarket.stakedao.org/balancer/creat…

vlAURA delegators: re-delegate to Stake DAO to be eligible for the first rewards distribution on Jan 22. If you delegated before Jan 2 to Stake DAO or previously to Hidden Hand, a quick re-delegation is needed. Delegate your @AuraFinance vlAURA ↓

After the Balancer V2 exploit, Balancer SPs will increase focus on V3. And V2 LP's have been encouraged to migrate to V3. In this article we are outlining the architectural advantages of V3 and why V3 is unaffected by this attack vector. What are the differences? And why is V3 more robust? Full article 👇 medium.com/balancer-proto…

A new discussion is now live on the Balancer Forum for feedback, outlining a suggested framework for redistributing assets recovered during the recent attacks on v2, including both whitehat rescues and internal recovery efforts. It proposes a method for reimbursing LPs in pools where assets were recovered and describes the next steps for community consideration. We remain committed to transparency and to keeping users at the center of this process. Link: forum.balancer.fi/t/rfc-distribu…

Today, around 7:48 AM UTC, an exploit affected Balancer V2 Composable Stable Pools. Our team is working with leading security researchers to understand the issue and will share additional findings and a full post-mortem as soon as possible. Because these pools have been live onchain for several years, many were outside the pause window. Any pools that could be paused have been paused and are now in recovery mode. All other Balancer pools are unaffected. This issue is isolated to V2 Composable Stable Pools and does not impact Balancer V3 or other Balancer pools. Balancer is committed to operational security, has undergone extensive auditing by top firms, and had bug bounties running for a long time to incentivize independent auditors. We are working closely with our security and legal teams to ensure user safety and are conducting a swift & thorough investigation. We’re grateful to our partners and the broader DeFi community for their support. Security notice: Fraudulent messages claiming to be from the Balancer Security Team are circulating. These are not from us. Do not interact with unsolicited communications or click unknown links. Official updates will be posted only via: - This official Balancer account on X (Twitter) - Our official Discord server Be careful with communications from other sources, they can be fraudulent. We will provide a comprehensive update with more details as our investigation progresses. The Balancer Team.

Over the past two weeks, vlAURA voters earned $121k. Protocols pay AURA lockers for their votes, leading to more $BAL emissions and deeper liquidity in their pools. 🔒 app.aura.finance/#/1/lock

Congrats to @ParallelMoney on launching Parallel V3, a fully modular, DAO-governed stablecoin framework built for scalability. Their new stablecoin, USDp, is live on @Base with APRs projected to rise: USDp | USDC - 29% APR 🔗 app.aura.finance/#/8453/pool/28 USDp | frxUSD - 31% APR 🔗 app.aura.finance/#/8453/pool/27

auraBAL is liquid and earning over 50% vAPR. How? - @Balancer protocol fees are shared with veBAL lockers, which are then passed to auraBAL stakers. - LPs give up a portion of their BAL rewards in exchange for boosted yield - auraBAL stakers earn 18% of those fees. 🔗 app.aura.finance/#/1/aurabal

The calm above the reCLAMM. Liquidity shifts automatically beneath you, and all you’ll notice are rising fees from passive, concentrated liquidity. A new AAVE | WETH reCLAMM pool is live on @Arbitrum with a projected 66% vAPR once incentives hit. 🔗 app.aura.finance/#/42161/pool/1…

Liquidity done right — just ask the experts at @DL_research and @KPK_io. The EURe | sDAI pool on @GnosisChain is yielding 10% vAPR and is a prime example of how to build sustainable liquidity. Read the full report 👇 x.com/dl_research/st…

savUSD from @AvantProtocol earns yield through onchain market-neutral strategies and made it through the 10/10 liquidations unscathed. On @Avax, the savUSD | USDT (@EulerFinance boosted) pool is earning 20.5% vAPR. 🔗 app.aura.finance/#/43114/pool/7

Aura controls 65% of all veBAL, making it the best place to: - Earn boosted rewards as an LP on @Balancer - Capture Balancer protocol fees while remaining liquid through auraBAL (29% vAPY) - Direct emissions to Balancer gauges via vlAURA. app.aura.finance/#/1/aurabal

Every DAO faces the same question: own liquidity or rent it? This report from @kpk_io and @dl_research breaks down what actually works (and what doesn’t) across some of DeFi’s biggest experiments. An absolute must-read for treasury managers. 👇

It might look complex, but it's just composability. slpETH - earns from @LoopFixyz's leveraged ETH restakers gtWETHe - earns from @Gauntlet_xyz vaults on @MorphoLabs 16.3% vAPR with 10x Quaaloops too! app.aura.finance/#/1/pool/256

One reason Aura on @GnosisChain consistently delivers top-tier yields? @GnosisDAO holds 9.8% of the vlAURA supply, giving them major influence over where emissions flow across @Balancer pools.

POV: You skipped leverage and parked your capital in low-risk DeFi, earning 8.8% vAPR on staked ETH. ETHx from @StaderLabs_eth wstETH from @LidoFinance Amplified on Aura. 🔗 app.aura.finance/#/1/pool/207

Two weeks. $117k earned. vlAURA voters turn governance into income by capturing incentives from @Balancer gauge markets. Lock for 16 weeks and receive cashflow every other week. 🔒 app.aura.finance/#/1/lock
