aboutAurora is a collection of Ethereum applications and protocols that together form a distributed banking and finance platform.
Aurora provides an advanced financial network through Aurora’s distributed exchange, IDEX, and own stable currency, the boreal. Boreals are backed by a combination of debt and retailer endorsement, starting with IDEX, and are available to customers via loans based on their digital economic reputation.
Traders on IDEX can rest easy knowing that at all times their funds are safe thanks to the non-custodial properties of the exchange.
IDEX, the first high-performance decentralized exchange, provides both real-time trading and on-chain settlement.
Traders on IDEX can trade continuously without waiting for transactions to mine, place true market orders and fill multiple orders at once, and cancel orders immediately without gas costs.
