Aura, a protocol focused on boosting DeFi stakeholders' yield potential and governance power, has seen its lockers (vlAURA holders) benefit from exceptionally high annual percentage rates (APRs) recently.​ Seven of the top 10 epochs with the highest APRs for Aura have occurred in the past eight weeks, with rates exceeding 90%.​ This surge in yield is attributed to Aura's close relationship with Balancer, as Aura owns 60% of all veBAL (vote-escrowed Balancer tokens).​ Balancer's increasing revenue has led to higher demand for BAL tokens and increased the value of emissions, translating into more incentives for Aura lockers.​ The recent tokenomics changes outlined in AIP-63 have also contributed to the elevated APRs, with Aura's AURA/ETH pool receiving nearly 60% APY.​
