Aura’s Next Chapter
Over the past year, Aura has been built, tested, and validated on Alephium testnet. With support from the community, from the initial idea to early testers and bug bounty participants, we proved that a decentralized community owned prediction market works.
But the prediction market space has moved fast.
What was niche a year ago is now tens of billions in annualized volume. There is clear space for a third major player, one that is community-owned and incentive-aligned from the ground up.
To compete at that level, Aura needs:
• Broader distribution
• Deeper liquidity access
• Stronger ecosystem reach
• A path to expand wherever the best opportunities exist
After careful consideration, we’ve decided Aura’s next chapter will be multi-chain.
That means continuing toward launch on Alephium while also building in parallel for expansion to a new high-performance chain. We are actively exploring the chains, partners, and funding opportunities that can help support that next phase of growth and give Aura the strongest possible path to scale.
Alephium remains an important part of Aura’s journey, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support this community has given us. From the initial grant to where we are today, that support has helped make this next phase possible. We’ve also now received additional grant support from Alephium to help fund upcoming audits, which is a major step forward as we prepare the codebase for that phase and move closer to launch.
As we expand, we’ll also be looking for the right strategic funding and ecosystem support to help accelerate deployment, liquidity, distribution, and long-term growth across chains. The opportunity in front of Aura is much bigger now, and we intend to build for it accordingly.
Aura was always built around the idea that prediction markets should be open, community-owned, and aligned with the people who use them. Going multi-chain is the best way for us to carry that vision forward at a much larger scale.
The mission stays the same. The opportunity just got bigger.
Moments ago, the gates to the arena swung open.
The arrivals are anxious to PLAY and PREDICT.

"From where I sit, far too many corners of Web3 seem to be allowing centralisation to creep back in, eroding trust, stifling innovation, and undoing swathes of progressive work. That’s why I’m highly encouraged, bullish even, by the decentralised synergy taking place between Alephium dApps."

Mainnet coming soon. Prediction markets are 🔥 right now. Pay attention.
One small step for man, one giant leap toward Mainnet.
Bridge deposits are now live on Ethereum Sepolia!
We’ve enabled bridge deposits via Ethereum Sepolia through our integrated bridge, allowing users to move USDT between Ethereum and Aura.
To test the full flow:
• Withdraw USDT from your Aura passkey wallet to an Ethereum wallet (e.g. MetaMask)
• Deposit those same tokens back into Aura through the integrated bridge
This is a major milestone for Aura and a big step toward Mainnet.

We’re officially listed on @coingecko 🦎
Another milestone for Aura and the community behind it. You can now track $AURA directly on CoinGecko as we keep pushing toward open, user-governed prediction markets.
To everyone who said prediction markets are just sports, here’s the CEO of a $110b company:
1. Weather and temperature contracts are the most frequently traded
2. Utilities will soon hedge electricity and natural gas contracts using these markets
Prediction markets are already institutional
You’re just not paying close enough attention
