Welcome back, Meditators!
It’s time for our quick bi-weekly check-in on everything happening at Aura.
LP Opportunities
weETH-WETH: 16.1% APR [Base] - https://app.aura.finance/#/8453/pool/9
sFRAX-FRAX: 45.1% APR [Optimism] - https://app.aura.finance/#/10/pool/21
auraBAL-wstETH: 32.9% APR [Arbitrum] - https://app.aura.finance/#/42161/pool/9
wstETH-WETH: 32.1% APR [Polygon zkEVM] - https://app.aura.finance/#/1101/pool/7
AaveUSDC-sDAI: 46.6% [Base] - https://app.aura.finance/#/8453/pool/10
Stats
Although we saw vlAURA APR dip a bit in the most recent voting epoch, bribe efficiency was extremely high. For every $1 spent on incentives, a pool received $1.50 in emissions. This opens up more opportunities for new protocols to incentivize their pools.
Governance
We saw several proposals pass Balancer governance votes in the second half of May. You can dig deeper into any of the proposals on Aura’s Snapshot page.
New Gauges:
[BIP-609] Enable Gauge for wrsETH/WETH [Optimism]
[BIP-610] Enable ETHx / wstETH Gauge [Arbitrum]
Other Governance:
[BIP-607] Update FTM Multisig to Claim vested BEETS
[BIP-608] Deploy Balancer on Fraxtal
[BIP-611] Delegate BalancerDAO ARB to karpatkey
[BIP-612] Funding for Live Event Participation

One of the biggest challenges in launching a new AMM is the cold start problem.
New AMMs need liquidity to attract volume and integration with aggregators, but they need volume and aggregator support to attract liquidity. This creates a challenging cycle that can hinder the…

The sicarios over at @redactedcartel have been among the most impressive teams in DeFi for almost nearly 2.5 years now. They’ve built out multiple businesses that drive real yield to rlBTRFLY holders.

Blast recently announced their airdrop will be delayed until June 26th. BUT they’ll also be increasing the allocation to account for this delay.

Gm! We've gotten a lot of new followers and users lately, and one of the most common questions we get is
"What is Balancer, and how do I use it and Aura in the most efficient way?"

There has been a lot of frustration lately around new coin launches that only benefit insiders.
Aura is different. You could even say it’s the most egalitarian thing we’ve ever seen.
- No tokens went to VC's or seed investors.
- Only 10% of tokens given to contributors.…

Ever tried explaining Aura to a friend and felt like they weren't quite grokking it?
Our recent blog post breaks down Aura in a way that even your most left-curve friend can understand.
(even though they already retired off meme coins)

What is Aura Finance?
You may have heard Aura Finance referred to as many different things: a protocol built on top of Balancer, a yield optimizer, a meta-governance layer, or something else that made your eyes glaze...
You may have heard that @Balancer was working on a V3. Well, the rumors are true.
