Rules in plain language
5 per day
You get up to 5 Aura each day. Your budget resets at midnight UTC.
Hubs only
Give Aura to hubs of digital artifacts—not people or profiles.
No self-Aura
You cannot give Aura to your own hubs. Endorsement has to come from others.
Not money
Aura is not payment, crypto, unlock currency for paywalls, or Kahana’s official endorsement.
Why it matters
- Giving and taking Aura is how the library surfaces quality as community signal and social proof on Explore—not a paid ranking guarantee.
- You can see who gave Aura. Creators see Aura earned in analytics. Counts and givers show on marketplace cards.
Streaks near account UI help you notice your own giving habit. Creators see Aura earned alongside other analytics—not a wallet to transfer or stake.
How to give
Open Explore
Browse hubs while signed in. Give Aura from hub cards on Explore.
Spend your budget
Put all five on one hub, or split across a few. Choose carefully—your daily budget is small on purpose.
Change your mind
You can remove Aura you gave to free budget for somewhere else. Given Aura stays until you decide otherwise.
