Asentum Ships Auras v2 With Upgraded AMM Contracts Live

Steady attention without excessive speculation.

The official @Asentum account confirmed the rollout at 00:15 UTC. According to the post, liquidity from most pools already sits on the new contracts. Users who still hold positions in older pools should open the “My Pools” tab to withdraw them.

What Shipped in the Auras v2 Upgrade

The core of the Auras v2 upgrade is a new set of automated market maker contracts. These contracts hold the liquidity pools and price every swap on the Asentum chain.

Because the team deployed fresh contracts, existing positions had to move across. As a result, Asentum migrated the bulk of pool liquidity automatically. Still, a small set of older positions stayed behind.

For those stragglers, the fix is simple. Asentum directs affected users to the “My Pools” section of the Auras interface. There, they can withdraw any unmigrated liquidity at their own pace.

Notably, Asentum disclosed no exact figures. The team has not shared pool counts, migrated totals, or the share of liquidity still sitting in old contracts. So the scope of the migration stays broad rather than precise.

Quality-of-Life Fixes Land Alongside v2

About 16 hours later, Asentum followed up with a second post. In it, the team listed a batch of performance fixes that went live with or shortly after the upgrade.

First, the update kills terminal freezes that previously ran up to 30 seconds. Next, it trims market list data by roughly 7 times. Finally, liquidity positions now load faster across the interface.

Beyond raw speed, several display bugs also got attention. For example, market caps returned to the Pulse and Terminal views. In addition, trader usernames now show up in trade history.

The team also cleaned up some structural issues. Specifically, it separated Auras pools properly from AseDex. On top of that, it corrected token values that previously displayed wrong amounts inside the Telegram wallet.

How Auras Works on Asentum

Auras is the native DEX and trading terminal built by the Asentum team. As an automated market maker, it lets users swap tokens against liquidity pools instead of an order book.

Critically, it trades the native ASE token directly. So users skip the wrapping step that many chains require. Auras also handles ARC-20 tokens, instant single-transaction swaps, and multiple fee tiers.

On the terminal side, Auras shows live candlestick charts and a real-time trade tape. Together, these tools give traders a familiar view while they stay on-chain.

Fee tiers let liquidity providers pick pools that match their risk appetite. Meanwhile, the single-transaction design keeps swaps quick and cheap. Each trade settles on-chain in one step, with no separate approval round.

Importantly, all of this runs on the Asentum incentivized testnet. Because of that, swaps and liquidity provision earn XP toward the project’s airdrop, subject to daily caps.

Why the Migration Matters for Testnet Users

Contract upgrades like this are routine for a DEX. Still, they need careful handling so that user funds never get stuck. For that reason, teams usually migrate liquidity and leave old pools open for manual withdrawal.

Asentum followed exactly that playbook. Consequently, no security incident, exploit, or fund loss is tied to the Auras v2 upgrade. Instead, this is a planned migration on a testnet, where economic risk stays limited.

For airdrop farmers, the practical takeaway is clear. First, check “My Pools” and move any leftover liquidity. Then, resume swapping or providing liquidity on the new contracts to keep earning XP.

Because the event sits on testnet, the tradable ERC-20 version of ASE on Ethereum carries no direct stake here. This article is informational and not financial advice.

Where the Community Stands on Auras v2

Early reaction to the Auras v2 upgrade skews positive. On X, replies mostly flag the smoother terminal and faster data handling. So far, no user has reported lost funds or a failed migration.

Engagement stays modest, with tens of likes and reposts on the main post. Still, the tone tracks the official framing of a clean upgrade. Many replies also praise the chain’s post-quantum, JavaScript-first design.

Mainstream coverage remains thin for now. Outlets like CoinDesk and The Block have not written up v2. As a result, the primary sources here are Asentum’s own posts and the Auras ecosystem page.

What Comes Next for Asentum

Asentum is a post-quantum Layer-1 built end-to-end in JavaScript. It uses NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 signatures from genesis, and it targets roughly 2-second slots with GRANDPA finality.

The project has run an incentivized testnet since mid-September 2026, when Auras first launched. Since then, the team has shipped steady upgrades to the DEX, and v2 is the latest step.

ASE carries a 1B max supply. For now, it trades as an ERC-20 on Ethereum through venues like Uniswap and MEXC. At mainnet, the planned bridge will swap those tokens 1:1 for native ASE.

For now, the team has not detailed the exact contract changes between v1 and v2. Likewise, it has not shared a timeline for further DEX features ahead of mainnet. So the next milestone to watch is the planned 1:1 bridge that moves ASE to native at mainnet.
