Aura Network Risk Analysis
- No pioneering advantage. Aura Network is essentially a Layer 1 platform that focuses on expanding the NFT field. Excellent developer ecology and high-quality user experience are the keys to the success of the project. Compared with other pioneering high-quality projects on the track, its own competitive advantages are still waiting to be tested by the market.
- The token destruction mechanism is still in unknown, and there is a possibility of a late inflation crisis.
The number of tokens unlocked in the first year is relatively large, and it is necessary to pay attention to the price fluctuation of the tokens; the team has not disclosed the destruction mechanism of AURA, hence it also requires continuous attention of whether the development of the later project will encounter an inflation crisis.
