Next Steps

Sale End and AURA Airdrop

After the end of the sale, AURA will be airdropped to all DVIP token holders.

The token sale page has a countdown indicating the time remaining until the end of the sale as well as a progress bar showing how many DVIP are remaining. The sale will end whenever all DVIP are sold and the hardcap of $4.8M has been reached, or when the sale time ends, whichever comes first.

After the sale ends you will no longer be able to purchase DVIP from Aurora. DVIP will be available for transfer on January 12, 2018. The AURA airdrop will occur on January 11, prior to the DVIP transfer date. All wallets holding DVIP will receive AURA at the rate of 50,000 AURA per one full DVIP.

Summary

  • The contract address will ONLY be posted on our token sale page.
  • You must send Ether from a personal wallet (such as MyEtherWallet, Metamask, or Mist). If you have your ether on an exchange, such as Coinbase, you must send them to an Ethereum Wallet first before sending to Aurora.
