# Phase 1 ZRS/ETH Incentives

### Liquidity Provision from IDO Proceeds

15% of the IDO proceeds will be allocated to Aura Finance's ZRS/ETH pool, ensuring fair liquidity for the ZRS/ETH pair.

### Balancer Gauge

[Gauge](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/what-is-gauge-and-what-is-its-purpose/5545) is a contract that allows for streaming BAL emissions to a Liquidity Pool. Pools don't receive BAL rewards by default. However, once a Gauge proposal gets approved for a pool, it means that the pool is going to receive BAL emissions. On Zaros, we are going to have a Gauge for the ZRS/ETH pair.

### Aura Finance

[Aura Finance](https://aura.finance/) is a protocol built on top of the [Balancer system](https://app.balancer.fi/#/) to provide maximum incentives to Balancer liquidity providers and `BAL` stakers (into [`veBAL`](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/introducing-vebal-tokenomics/2512)) through social aggregation of `BAL` deposits and Aura’s native token.\
\
Aura enables users to continue receiving their trading fees but at a higher APY due to Aura's protocol-owned `veBAL`. Simultaneously, Aura LPs will benefit from native protocol (`AURA`) tokens as rewards. As a result, LPs in the ZRS/ETH pool will receive incentives from this.
