FAQs

What is Aurelia?

Aurelia is a modular DeFi protocol that combines automated vaults, undercollateralized leverage, a native DEX for ERC-4626 tokens, and a dual lending system. It’s designed to optimize yield, composability, and capital efficiency for both passive users and power DeFi users.

Is Aurelia audited?

Yes. Aurelia will be undergoing multi-phase audits with top-tier firms like Spearbit and Code4rena. It also uses real-time monitoring via Hypernative and will launch a public bug bounty on Immunefi.

What are Metavaults?

Metavaults are ERC-4626 smart vaults that automatically allocate user deposits across multiple yield strategies. They include a 10% withdrawal buffer and use TWAP-based logic for rebalancing when the buffer deviates (below 5% or above 15%).

What’s the difference between the two lending markets?
  • Main Market: Overcollateralized, Aave-style lending for major tokens. Open to all users.

  • Single Asset Vaults: Undercollateralized lending accessed only by the LeverageManager for farming strategies.

How does leveraged farming work?

Users interact with the LeverageManager, choose a pool and leverage (e.g., 3x), and the system borrows from the Single Asset Vaults. It then deploys into an ERC-4626 vault handling the farming strategy. Liquidations are managed off-chain via bots.

What makes Aurelia DEX different?
  • Native support for ERC-4626 vault tokens (aurTokens)

  • Auto wrap/unwrap during swaps

  • LPs earn yield from vault APR, trading fees, and emissions

  • Supports concentrated liquidity for higher capital efficiency

How are strategies selected for vaults?

Strategies must be governance-approved, audited or risk-flagged, and integrated into the Strategy Router. xAUR holders can vote to approve the new strategies.

What is x(3,3) governance?

Aurelia uses a staking-based governance system where users lock AUR to receive xAUR, which allows them to vote on:

  • Emissions direction (vaults, LPs)

  • Protocol upgrades

  • Strategy or vault whitelisting

  • Bribes and gauge boosts

Can I use aurTokens outside of Aurelia?

Yes. aurTokens follow the ERC-4626 standard, making them compatible with other DeFi protocols. You can LP, lend, or use them as collateral wherever supported.

Can I integrate Aurelia in my own app or protocol?

Yes. Aurelia offers fully composable vaults, token standards (ERC-4626), and smart contract interfaces. We encourage integrations, and partner vaults can apply to be whitelisted.
