Auro Protocol is designed as a Solana-native yield layer with AURO as the staking and access token for target 15%-25% variable stablecoin rewards.
Public thesis
Auro's public protocol thesis is built around one user-facing outcome: stake AURO to access premium variable USDC and USD1 reward routes.
| Route | Target variable APY | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| USDC | 15%-18% | Familiar stablecoin reward rail |
| USD1 | 20%-25% | Planned flagship high-yield reward rail |
User flow
- User buys or receives AURO.
- User stakes AURO after staking is live.
- Rewards accrue daily as estimates.
- Auro finalizes net distributable rewards monthly.
- Eligible stakers may receive USDC or USD1.
- User can unstake with a 7-day cooldown after staking is live.
What users stake
Users stake AURO.
USDC and USD1 are planned reward payout currencies. USDC and SOL may be used as presale commit assets. Auro is not launching as a direct USDC or USD1 deposit vault.
Reward design
Rewards are designed to come from Auro protocol activity, curated RWAs, tokenized DATs, institutional-grade yield strategies, approved integrations, and other future governance-approved revenue sources. Rewards are variable and finalized through monthly reward cycles.
