Pool types

Aurelia supports three primary types of liquidity pools, all compatible with its custom ERC-4626 swap router:

1. aurToken + regular Token

• Example: aurUSDC / ETH

• One side (aurToken) is a vault-wrapped, yield-bearing asset

• Earns yield from:

  • Vault APR (e.g., lending, Pendle)

  • IGNI emissions (if voted via x(3,3))

• Popular for stable-to-volatile pairings with passive APR stacking

2. aurToken + aurToken

• Example: aurETH / aurBTC

• Both sides are ERC-4626 vault tokens

• Provides deep, composable yield-on-yield exposure

• LPs benefit from:

  • Yield from both vaults

  • Emissions

• Ideal for strategies that want correlated asset LPing with minimal opportunity cost

3. Base Token + Base Token (Standard Pairing)

• Example: USDC / ETH (no aurToken wrapper)

• Behaves like a traditional CLAMM pair

• Supported for backwards compatibility, integrations, and protocols not using aurTokens

• Can be upgraded to wrapped mode via frontend swap router (auto-wrap option)
