The wait is over! After extensive preparation and anticipation, Aurum is thrilled to announce its official launch on **January 9th at 2:30 PM EST**. This marks a significant milestone as Aurum unveils its money-market on the Sonic blockchain.

### **Liquidity to Empower the Ecosystem**

To kick off the launch, **$100,000 of $AUR token liquidity** will be seeded on **SwapX**, ensuring users can seamlessly buy and sell $AUR. Following the initial launch, additional liquidity will be activated on **other concentrated liquidity decentralized exchanges (CL DEXes)**. Liquidity on these platforms will be managed strategically by Aurum’s trusted partner to be announced after launch, **Automated Liquidity Managers (ALMs)**, to optimize market depth and efficiency.

### **Initial Assets Listed at Launch**

At launch, users will be able to lend, borrow, and interact with the following assets:

*   **Wrapped Sonic (wSonic)**
    
*   **Sonic (Sonic)**
    
*   **USDC**
    
*   **ETH**
    

This carefully curated selection ensures a robust starting point for participants to maximize their DeFi opportunities. The parameters of these assets can be found in  
the app at launch

### **Mint auTokens and Maximize Earnings**

Aurum allows users to mint **auTokens**, such as **auUSDC** and **auETH**. These yield-bearing tokens represent a user’s supplied assets while generating underlying returns. But it doesn’t stop there—users can take these auTokens and provide liquidity on **incentivized decentralized exchanges (DEXes)** to earn **additional income** on top of the yield from their supplied assets. The incentives for these pools will begin shortly  
after the protocol launch

### **User-Centric Revenue Sharing**

Aurum is committed to its users. **100% of all Gems earned by Aurum** will go directly back to its users. Along with this , once liquidity is established for AUR token and staking is enabled AUR stakers are eligible for 50% of platform revenue
