Aura

Recently, the $ARB incentive has made staking more attractive on Aura, resulting in an all-time high total value locked (TVL) of $53 million. Noteworthy pools on Aura include rETH-WETH, DOLA/USDC, plsRDNT, sFRAX/4POOL, and 50GOLD-25USDC-25WSTETH.

Aura and Alchemix have partnered to unlock the potential of idle assets with the 20WETH-80ALCX pool, resulting in $6m TVL. Alchemix offers future-yield-backed synthetic assets and users can earn future yield on various yield farming strategies. To maximize boosted yields, users can deposit liquidity on Balancer, receive BPT (Balancer Pool Tokens), and stake them on Aura to earn $AURA, Balancer's native rewards, and swap fees.

Aura's weekly report highlights approved proposals for extra rewards distribution, Dune dashboard updates, and reward token additions. Aura controls 50.8% of veBAL while other whales decrease holdings. Arbitrum dominates incentive emissions, generating more fees for Balancer than Ethereum. The Metastable - rETH/ETH pool receives the most incentives. Limited sell pressure seen as most vlAURA holders re-lock tokens. Community discussing tokenomics reform for increased demand.

The total value locked (TVL) of GyroStable experienced a significant growth of more than 400 times in the year 2023. To receive boosted incentives in $BAL and $AURA with $GYD, users can follow three steps: swap any token to $GYD, add liquidity to one of the $GYD pools, and stake BPT in the Aura gauge.

Aura has partnered with Redacted Cartel to bring pxETH/wETH to their platform. pxETH is a liquid staking token for ETH deposited into the Dinero protocol and offers the highest ETH staking yield. It is built on top of Redacted Cartel's Pirex platform and forms an integral part of Redacted's Dinero protocol. Users can earn enhanced yields with pxETH on platforms like Balancer and Aura, where they can deposit liquidity and stake Balancer Pool Tokens to receive AURA and Balancer's native rewards.
