Aurum Protocol
Aurum is a next-generation DeFi protocol designed with modularity and security at its core. Every component is independently upgradeable, audited in isolation, and governed through on-chain proposals.
Why Aurum?
- Isolated markets — risk is contained per asset pool; one bad market cannot cascade.
- Upgradeable modules — each contract is a separate proxy, letting you ship improvements without migrating user funds.
- Multi-source oracle aggregation — Chainlink + Uniswap TWAP with deviation circuit-breakers prevent manipulation.
- Permissionless by default — governance is scoped to emergency pauses and fee parameters only.
