About Aurora DAO

Aurora DAO is building a modular, on-chain governance layer designed to help decentralized organizations coordinate complex treasury and protocol decisions seamlessly. By combining a fork-resistant L2 governance engine, real-time proposal tracking, and composable voting strategies, Aurora empowers both NFT communities and DeFi protocols to make transparent, tamper-proof decisions. Under the hood sits an optimistic rollup optimized for governance calls, ensuring sub-second finality for voting results while keeping gas costs minimal.

About the Airdrop

To incentivize robust participation from early governance participants, Aurora DAO is hosting a governance reward airdrop. This campaign rewards token holders who actively shape the protocol’s future through proposal creation, discussion, and voting. Instead of simply rewarding wallet snapshots, Aurora’s approach measures sustained engagement: each vote cast, proposal authored, or delegated power tracked on-chain yields incremental rewards.

Step-by-Step Guide to Farm

1. Connect Wallet: Visit the Aurora governance portal and connect an EOA wallet on Ethereum or Polygon.
2. Delegate Voting Power: Stake a minimum of 100 AUR tokens and delegate to yourself or a trusted community delegate.
3. Create/Co-author a Proposal: Draft a governance proposal (on-chain) or co-author an existing thread.
4. Cast Votes: Participate in at least three distinct votes across different proposal themes.
5. Track Engagement: Ensure each action is confirmed on-chain; you’ll see “Airdrop Points” accrue in your dashboard.
6. Claim Rewards: After the snapshot period ends (2025-09-01), claim your accrued AUR via the “Claim Airdrop” widget.

Investors & Funding

Aurora DAO raised $4.2 million across seed and private rounds.
