Catenaa, Saturday, June 14, 2025-Nibiru, a high-throughput multi-virtual machine blockchain, announced the launch of its Block Party program, introducing Aura, a points-based system designed to reward genuine user participation within its decentralized finance ecosystem.
Aura tracks contributions across trading, liquidity provision, lending, and completing quests on Nibiru’s EVM-compatible network.
Users earn Aura by engaging with integrated applications such as the Oku trading platform, LayerBank lending protocol, MIMSwap and OmniSwap decentralized exchanges, and the Sai perpetuals exchange.
Additional ways to accumulate points include bridging assets through Stargate, minting and trading NFTs on Element, and participating in prediction markets like BRKT and PRDT.
The platform supports dozens of active applications as part of its growing DeFi ecosystem.
Aura seasons run monthly, resetting the leaderboard and enabling users to track their progress via an upcoming public dashboard.
Points are awarded through both on-chain activities, monitored by Merkl, a liquidity mining engine developed by Angle Protocol, and off-chain missions managed through the Galxe quest platform.
The system incorporates Sybil resistance and time-weighted tracking to ensure rewards reflect authentic engagement, limiting manipulation.
Participants can boost their Aura points by locking liquidity in eligible stablecoin pools for over 90 days to earn up to 3.5 times multipliers.
Other incentives include rewards for concentrated liquidity and active trading.
Nibiru’s architecture supports parallel state updates and standard EVM bytecode, providing developers with scalable performance under heavy load and compatibility with familiar tools.
The project has raised $20.5 million from investors across East Asia and the US
Details and rules for the Block Party program are available on Nibiru’s website.a
