What is Aura?

Aura is described as a fully decentralized marketplace for AI models, aimed at deployment, validation, and monetization. The project positions itself as an on-chain AI infrastructure for a decentralized AI marketplace that includes mechanisms for verifiable model integrity, cryptographic validation, and transparent processes for ranking and selection.

Aura is described as serving two main groups: AI model developers and AI model users. Developers are said to deploy models on the marketplace, receive a provably fair, transparent ranking, and monetize by earning revenue when users explore and rent models. Users are said to discover, rent, and utilize models, and to speculate by trading tokens associated with models on the platform. The description does not specify the founding year, founder, native chain, token supply cap, or governance model.
