What is Aurora

Aurora is a fully on-chain exchange purpose-built for high-frequency trading and perpetual futures. Designed to combine the efficiency of centralized exchanges with the transparency of decentralized infrastructure, Aurora delivers sub-second execution, deep liquidity, and fair pricing—all while keeping users in full control of their assets.

Unlike traditional AMM-based DEXs, Aurora runs a high-throughput on-chain order book, enabling advanced trading strategies, tight spreads, and scalable market depth. Every trade, position, and funding payment is settled directly on-chain, ensuring transparency and security without sacrificing performance.

Aurora is designed for:

• Traders: Best-execution swaps and perpetuals with low fees, minimal latency, and a professional CEX-like interface.

• Liquidity providers / market makers: On-chain order book participation with transparent incentives, predictable economics, and capital-efficient design.

• Builders: Open APIs and SDKs to integrate Aurora’s order book and liquidity into external protocols, strategies, or applications.

By blending performance, composability, and decentralization, Aurora aims to set a new standard for on-chain trading—a fair, transparent, and high-speed exchange that feels like a CEX, but is powered entirely by DeFi rails.
