# Chakra Alignment: November 1st By [Aura Finance](https://blog.aura.finance) · 2024-11-01 --- What's the quickest way to align our chakras? To start, the trend of voting incentives for vlAURA holders is much better than reported, even by [Aura's analytics](https://aura.defilytica.com/#/voting-incentives). Historically, Hidden Hand has had a dominant share of the vlAURA vote incentives market, and analytics only considered incentives from their platform. However, Paladin Quests have steadily gained popularity, bringing in over 50% of all vote incentives in recent epochs. After Paladin updates their API, other analytics sources can also be updated.

Aura’s own stats page, which shows $35.17m in lifetime vote incentives distributed to vlAURA holders, only looks at the Hidden Hand marketplace.

Aura's franchise, Hyperlock, raised $213k in their [Fjord Foundry LBP](https://app.fjordfoundry.com/pools/0x1BE6604E01f2e4c020c12e9d61d8b93Ccc3925E5). Not a bad raise by any means; especially when considering Trump's World Liberty Fi is struggling to pass $15m. Hyperlock's TGE also included an airdrop of 2% of the supply to vlAURA holders, with a further 9% streamed in the future. Balancer V3 is fast approaching. The ongoing [Cantina bug competition](https://cantina.xyz/competitions/949ad7c5-ea14-427d-b10a-54e33cef921b), which is considered a final step before launch, is set to end on Nov. 5th. V3 includes many innovations, such as 100% boosted pools, [hooks](https://x.com/AuraFinance/status/1842203662262612470), and an improved developer experience. The last may not sound as exciting, but Balancer has increasingly become a base layer on which other AMMs innovate on top of. Gyroscope's E-CLPs and [GYD stablecoin](https://x.com/AuraFinance/status/1845918040153579957) have been a common sight on Aura.
