This guide explains the user flow from learning about Auro to participating in the presale and preparing for staking after TGE.
1. Learn the protocol model
Start with:
Auro is designed around AURO staking and target 15%-25% variable USDC or USD1 rewards. Rewards are variable, not fixed.
2. Review presale terms
Read:
The presale uses a fixed $0.10 AURO price, a $100M FDV basis, a 10% initial community allocation, and an expandable allocation up to 15% if demand exceeds the initial allocation.
3. Use the official app
Open app.aurofi.org.
The app is the only official presale flow. The public website explains the thesis; the app handles wallet connection, quoting, transaction signing, and allocation tracking.
4. Connect a Solana wallet
Use a supported Solana wallet such as Phantom or Solflare. Confirm that the wallet connection is happening on app.aurofi.org.
5. Commit USDC or SOL
Choose USDC or SOL in the app. The app creates a quote and prepares the official transaction. After the transaction confirms, the app records the buyer's AURO allocation.
6. Receive locked AURO allocation
Presale buyers receive AURO immediately in a locked state. Locked AURO is not transferable before TGE.
7. Wait for TGE
At TGE, Auro intends to create official AURO liquidity before opening presale transferability and claim mechanics. The unlock schedule is:
- 70% at TGE.
- 30% linearly over 45 days.
8. Stake after launch
Staking activates only after official TGE and eligibility conditions. The planned staking model uses flexible AURO staking, a 7-day unstake cooldown, daily estimated reward accrual, and monthly USDC or USD1 payouts.
Auro's public target range is 15%-25% variable APY:
- USDC route: 15%-18% target variable APY.
- USD1 route: 20%-25% target variable APY when supported.
