How it works
Using Aura in three steps
-
1
Pair two tokens
Pick two tokens (e.g. ETH + USDC), deposit both in equal value into the trading pool.
-
2
Earn a share of fees
Every time someone swaps through this pair, you earn a tiny cut of the fee. The more people trade, the more you earn.
-

Watch out for IL
If one token's price moves a lot relative to the other, you'd have been better off just holding — the gap is called 'impermanent loss'.
