Aura Finance distinguishes itself in the DeFi space by enhancing the Balancer ecosystem, offering a streamlined experience for BAL stakers and liquidity providers. It simplifies staking with tokenized veBAL (auraBAL) and boosts rewards through protocol-owned veBAL and AURA tokens, while easing participation in Balancer's gauge system. The AURA token is central to Aura's governance and incentivization, allowing users to lock tokens for governance rights and influence both Aura's and Balancer's decisions. Governance involves managing the Aura treasury, voting on Balancer proposals, and planning a transition to full on-chain voting
Fluid (formerly Instadapp) is a DeFi base-layer that merges a money market, vaults and a high-throughput DEX into one shared liquidity engine. By unifying lending and trading under a single pool, it can create up to $39 of on-chain liquidity from every $1 of total value locked, dramatically improving capital efficiency.
