Aura Finance is a yield optimization protocol built on Balancer that maximizes incentives for liquidity providers and BAL stakers through social aggregation and its native token. It operates across multiple Ethereum-compatible chains, offering boosted rewards via veBAL tokenization.
Convex is a yield optimization protocol built on Curve Finance that lets liquidity providers earn boosted CRV rewards without locking tokens. It also allows CRV stakers to earn additional boosted CRV and CVX tokens, improving capital efficiency across the Curve ecosystem.
