AU Staking: Coming soon on Aurelius

Share

Introducing the AU Staking Module

Legionnaires of Aurelius, The AU Token Auction is taking place August 28th* on Mantle through Axis Finance. Wondering what you can do with AU? Rest assured that you can expect real yield from day 1!

Unlock the full potential of your AU tokens with Aurelius’ streamlined staking module, which scales not just based on stake size, but your loyalty too.

Why Stake Your AU Tokens?

Finding a reliable and rewarding staking option can be challenging. Many staking pools lack clear incentives for long-term commitment or force you to give up control, leading to less predictable returns for stakers.

Aurelius offers a user-friendly AU Staking Module built on the Cod3x Relic Framework. This system encourages long-term staking by offering time-weighted rewards, meaning the longer you stake, the more you earn. When you stake your AU tokens, you begin building maturity, which boosts your potential earnings over time. You can withdraw from the AU staking module at any time at the cost of any accrued maturity.

AU Staking encourages long-term staking by offering time-weighted rewards.

How it Works:

AU Stakers receive an aggregated flow of yield either directly or through discretionary buybacks.
  1. Lend Module Fees: Converted into mETH and MNT.
  2. aUSD Mint Fees: Earned in aUSD.
  3. aUSD Redemptions: Converted into AU.

Understanding Aurelius’ Revenue Streams

Aurelius generates revenue for AU stakers through two main channels:

  1. Lending Module: A portion of borrow-side interest is directed to the Aurelius treasury, converted into mETH or WMNT, and distributed to AU stakers.
  2. CDP Module: aUSD stablecoin users pay a small fee when minting aUSD, which accrues to AU stakers. aUSD loans can be used in redemptions to restore market price stability, this accrues a fee which is used to purchase AU off of the open market.

The Power of Time-Weighted Staking

The AU Relic records your staking maturity and applies a multiplier to reward your commitment. Over six months, your maturity builds up to a 1.5x multiplier, maximizing your rewards for long-term staking.

Why this model?

We believe that keeping your capital liquid is healthy and believe the relic model can help align protocol incentives and outcomes without any lockups or complicated vests. And with Aurelius’s custom efficiency engine, each dollar behind aUSD is earning maximum value for AU stakers and the Mantle economy.

Where can I stake?

The staking module will become available on the front-end once available shortly after the AU Auction concludes. Learn more about the launch in our latest blog post!
