graviAURA (vote locked AURA)

graviAURA is a new vault by BadgerDAO that is part of the emerging AURA/veBAL ecosystem.

This vault locks 100% of deposited AURA tokens for rolling periods of 16 weeks. Badger will use locked AURA contained in graviAURA to vote for bribes, sell them, and emit them back to HODLers in the form of BADGER(25%) and graviAURA(75%) less fees.

Unlike other Badger Setts, this Vault limits the times when users may withdraw their funds. Please carefully read the sections on Locking and Unlocking.
