Designed to explore
post-quantum ideas.
Aurion uses a custom hash-based signature design. That is a research direction, not a guarantee of quantum resistance. The mining and consensus design still require substantial work before real funds can depend on them.

Your wallets.
Manage your Aurion account and connect your Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets here. Aurion account transfers are signed in your browser; the downloaded desktop software runs the miner.
YOUR ACCOUNT
Sign in to your Aurion account.
Your encrypted wallet is stored privately on Cloudflare. Your login password is verified over HTTPS; wallet decryption happens on your device.
Your new account starts with 0 AUR. Mining or receiving a transfer adds coins. Save your encrypted wallet backup.

Preparing your wallet…
AURION MAINNET TRANSFERS
Send AUR.
Sign in to send from your account. Your wallet password decrypts the signing key on this device; it is not sent to the transfer API. Local wallets can export a desktop command.
Network fee: 0.00001000 AUR. Every website send reserves one signing key before signing; a failed attempt still consumes that key. Export the updated wallet after sending.
Archived signed transfers
Applied or rejected receipts can change after a reorganization. Keep these exact signed transfers for recovery. Archiving does not establish finality.
KEEP YOUR EXISTING WALLET
Back up before updating.
Download an encrypted recovery file with your used signing keys and saved AUR transactions. Your coins stay on the network; this file keeps access to your wallet and exact transactions you may need to retry.
Save a fresh backup after every signing attempt and password change. Keep your password separately. Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets need their own extension backups.
Restore a recovery backup
Use a recovery file you exported yourself. Sign out and lock your wallet first. Restoration merges into this browser, preserves its higher signing counter and refuses a different wallet or conflicting transactions. The hosted account and network ledger keep their existing records.
For a mining node, back up its ledger, wallet signing journal and plots before installing a new version. Get the desktop update tools.
YOUR EXTERNAL WALLETS
Send and receive Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Connect your wallet extension to show its actual receiving address and balance, then send native coins to a recipient on the same network.
Your Aurion account and wallet extensions use separate credentials. Bitcoin and Ethereum keys stay in their extensions. Your website password cannot recover those wallets; keep the backups provided by each extension.

VERIFY BEFORE RUNNING
Transparent releases.
Compare your download with the published checksum. Checksums detect file changes; this release is not independently audited or signed with a release key.
PRESERVE YOUR MINING HISTORY
Check updates before switching.
The desktop recovery tools back up your existing ledger and rehearse a candidate version against that history. They refuse changes to balances, mining rewards, network identity or signing history. Keep your wallet journals and plots, and install updates in a separate folder.
Tools run on your own computer with Python 3.10+. No paid service is activated. Passing a restoration rehearsal does not qualify the current protocol for valuable funds.
RUN / CONTRIBUTE / EXPERIMENT
Join the Aurion network.
Run a full node, create a storage plot, and mine AUR. Your software joins the public seed automatically and validates the ledger on your machine. No market price is guaranteed.
Download and verify.
Install Python 3.10+, download your platform ZIP, and extract it. Open a terminal in the extracted folder. On Windows, use py -3 wherever this guide shows python3.
python3 aurion.py selftest
Choose your wallet.
Create a browser wallet and export it as aurion-wallet.json into this folder, or create one with the desktop command below. Keep the wallet and password private.
python3 aurion.py --network mainnet --allow-unaudited-mainnet wallet new --encrypt
Skip this command if you already exported your wallet. The app refuses to overwrite an existing wallet.
Create a plot and mine.
Replace YOUR_AUR_ADDRESS with your wallet address. Start with 1 MB; large plots take time and memory to create. Leave the node running.
python3 aurion.py --network mainnet --allow-unaudited-mainnet plot create --size-mb 1 --reward-address YOUR_AUR_ADDRESS python3 aurion.py --network mainnet --allow-unaudited-mainnet node --mine --bind 127.0.0.1
A plot has a finite signing capacity. Create a new plot before its signing key runs out. New plots wait three checkpoints before becoming eligible when mature plots already exist. An eligible miner must advance the network during that wait.
Check a balance. Send AUR.
In another terminal, inspect the network and send to another wallet. Transfers are confirmed by a later checkpoint produced by the miner.
python3 aurion.py --network mainnet --allow-unaudited-mainnet info python3 aurion.py --network mainnet --allow-unaudited-mainnet balance YOUR_AUR_ADDRESS python3 aurion.py --network mainnet --allow-unaudited-mainnet send RECIPIENT_AUR_ADDRESS 1
Connecting directly to other nodes: the mainnet miner automatically polls
https://node.aurioncoin.io. To use another peer, add --peer https://YOUR_PEER. Match the network name and genesis hash, and read the security status before exposing your node. The current HTTP gossip layer is not hardened for hostile public peers.FOR EXCHANGES / BUILDERS

INTEGRATION WORKFLOW
Deposits and withdrawals.
Read canonical checkpoints, track inclusions and confirmations, and roll back deposit credits after a reorganization. Amounts are decimal strings in base units.
Keep keys in your own signing system. The adapter broadcasts signed transactions; it never holds exchange wallet passwords.
No exchange listings or market liquidity are claimed. Current consensus is unsuitable for accepting real deposits.

Trading tools.
Know the settlement.
Find another user’s offer, reserve a matching quote, and settle the agreed trade with your wallets. Makers set their own prices; available offers determine the result.
PEER-TO-PEER / AUR · BTC · ETH
Match an offer. Review your quote.
Matching is automatic; blockchain transactions require wallet approval.
Sign in to publish offers, reserve quotes and accept trades. The order book is public. Sign in or create an account
Convert with a matching user.
Enter your maximum payment and minimum receipt. The matcher chooses the best available offer within that budget. A reserved quote holds the offer for five minutes; coins are exchanged during settlement.
Publish your own offer.
Choose the exact amounts you offer and request. Offers are unfunded: posting does not lock coins or prove that a maker can settle.
RESERVED QUOTE / COINS NOT YET EXCHANGED
Review before accepting.
These exact amounts exclude network fees. Check your counterparty and settlement terms before approving any transaction.

ETHEREUM MAINNET / MANUAL SETTLEMENT
Ethereum contract actions.
Use your connected Ethereum wallet to deploy the compiled contract or interact with a verified deployment. Use the agreed terms from your matched trade. Each contract action requires separate approval in your wallet.
The supplied contract is unaudited. Every transaction needs ETH for gas and approval in your wallet. A submitted transaction or mined receipt does not establish finality.

Download the trading guideAUR TOKEN / ERC-20
Hold and trade AUR.
On a proven network.
The AUR token runs on Base and Ethereum, so balances and transfers are secured by those networks rather than by Aurion's own experimental chain. It works in standard wallets and trades on Uniswap.
Two different things are called AUR. The AUR token is an ERC-20 on Base or Ethereum. AUR mined with the desktop software lives on the experimental Aurion network. They are not interchangeable and no bridge exists. Only add the contract address shown on this page; anyone can create a look-alike token with the same name.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Know the risks.
A price exists only if people trade; it can fall to zero, and liquidity can be thin or withdrawn. The token contract follows widely audited OpenZeppelin code, but this specific contract has not been independently audited. Nothing on this site is investment advice, and no return is promised.
Wallet approvals, gas fees and Uniswap trades happen in your own wallet. Aurion never asks for your seed phrase or private key.
RELEASE STATUS / OCTOBER 2026
Trust needs evidence.
Aurion 0.2.1 adds peer, signing and recovery protections. Critical protocol work remains; this network is not ready to secure valuable funds.
Available in this release
- Password-encrypted, compatible browser wallets
- Public seed connectivity, storage mining and signed transfers
- Windows, Linux and macOS Python packages
- Experimental exchange API and documentation
- Source downloads and integrity checksums
Real-funds readiness: work in progress
- Storage-enforcing consensus — candidate testing
A native proof-of-space verifier passes real-plot tests. Challenge generation, fork choice and the complete replacement design still need review. - Standard signatures — candidate tested
ML-DSA-65 signing, verification and replay rejection pass local tests. Mainnet still uses the legacy signature scheme. - Signing state and rotation — partial
Desktop 0.2.1 adds a durable rollback guard and single-use signing reservations. Dual-key rotation works in the isolated candidate; copied legacy wallets remain unsafe. - Independent audits — not completed
The audit scope and reproducible evidence are prepared. No independent cryptography or consensus audit report exists. - Hostile-peer and recovery tests — expanded
Tests cover peer input limits, database failures, restart, backup replay and receipt removal after a competing-chain reorganization. Sustained adversarial network testing remains. - Independent node network — not established
A persistent node service template, backup tool and chain-progress monitor are available. Independent operators and sustained uptime still need verification.
Verified engineering progress
Current-source checks reproduce disk-free mining and producer-controlled challenges in both desktop and hosted validators. A separate local experiment also found arrival-dependent fork choice. These confirmed failures block valuable funds even when wallet and recovery tests pass. Read the dated verification report for actual test results and skipped checks.
The published genesis and legacy chain rules are preserved. No key migration or replacement consensus has been activated.
Why the current protocol needs work
Storage proofs do not enforce storage.
Plot leaves can be recomputed from public inputs, and a miner can claim a large plot without allocating the corresponding space. The current prototype cannot establish the advertised storage-based security.
Checkpoint selection can be manipulated.
The producer influences the next challenge through its chosen proof. Chain weight and reorganizations need adversarial analysis and a stronger design.
Fork choice depends on arrival order.
A local test offered the same signed checkpoint set in different orders and left nodes on different chains beyond the reorganization limit. A checkpoint count does not establish objective finality.
Signatures are custom and stateful.
The hash-based construction is inspired by WOTS and Merkle trees. It is not a standardized XMSS implementation or a certified quantum-resistant system. Reusing one-time keys can expose funds. Local file locking improves concurrent use but does not make copied or restored wallets safe.
Swap scripts are tools, not a live exchange.
The website matches user-priced offers and guides AUR/ETH wallet settlement with chain verification. Bitcoin HTLC settlement remains manual. The matching and settlement code is unaudited; a quote or accepted match does not exchange funds.
