Proposal Voting

How new market proposals are reviewed and approved by the community.

Aura relies on community-driven governance to ensure high-quality and relevant prediction markets. Every new market proposal goes through a transparent review and approval process, guided by votes from $AURA stakers.

How proposals are reviewed and approved

1. Proposal submission

   A creator submits a proposal with a clear question, resolution rules, end time, and category. The required ALPH deposit is locked.

2. Voting period

   Proposals enter a 24-hour community voting window. Eligible voters rank each proposal, weighted by their staking tier.

3. Curation

   After the window closes, the most-supported proposals are reviewed against current platform capacity — number of active markets, recent daily trading volume, and the size of the proposal queue. Proposals that fit the slate are approved and deploy on-chain immediately; others are rejected and the deposit is refunded.

This balance between community signal and operational curation keeps the market list curated to platform demand while still ensuring the community decides what’s interesting in the first place.

Voting weight by tier

Your influence on proposal approvals scales with your staked $AURA tier.
