FAQ // AUGUR
Current answers about using Augur today and the completed Moon Fork.
Augur Today
+ − Can I use Augur today?
Not as a new Augur-native prediction-market application: one has not yet relaunched. You can use this site to read project updates, inspect the ForkWatch record, and study the Learn material, but Augur.net is not a trading interface and no migration action is available here.
+ − What is the reboot building toward?
Current work centers on a new oracle architecture, broader REP access, and an eventual Augur-native market protocol after the oracle's security and fee mechanisms are finalized. The mission timeline and team page describe that work.
The Moon Fork
+ − I own REPv2. What happened?
Micah Zoltu, an Augur community member, raised funds to trigger a fork over whether the Artemis II mission successfully lifted off (it did). The fork opened a path to an outcome-specific universe for each possible outcome; each child universe was created when REP first migrated to it. REP holders had until the migration deadline to move their tokens into the universe they believed was correct. That window has closed.

+ − I didn't migrate in time. Is there anything I can do?
No. The deadline was enforced by the fork contract rather than by policy, so it cannot be reopened or extended, and no one can migrate on your behalf. REP left in the parent universe is expected to be worthless, since Augur development continues on the forked token, REPv2_Yes_1, instead.
Anyone offering to migrate, recover, or unlock that REP now is running a scam.
+ − Why did Augur fork?
Forks are part of Augur's design. They happen when there is a major dispute — in this case, over the outcome of the Artemis II market.
+ − What is a "fork" in simple terms?
The system can split into multiple versions, called universes. Holders choose the correct one by moving their REP into it.
Timeline
+ − When did the fork start and end?
Start: April 8, 2026
Escalation Game (Phase 1): April–early June 2026. Complete.
Migration Window (Phase 2): early June–August 3, 2026. Complete.
How the Fork Played Out
+ − What happened during the escalation game (Phase 1)?
People could dispute outcomes by staking REP in an escalation game, where each round required a larger stake on opposing sides. If they backed the correct outcome, they could earn a return from those on the losing side (up to ~40% in this test). Participation was optional.
Phase 1 is complete: enough REP was staked to reach the fork threshold.
+ − What happened during the migration window (Phase 2)?
REP holders could migrate their tokens 1:1 into the outcome-specific universe they believed was correct. A child universe and its REP token were created when REP first migrated to that outcome. Migrated REP went overwhelmingly to the universe for the truthful outcome, whose token is REPv2_Yes_1.
+ − What happened if someone migrated to the "No" universe?
That REP is expected to be worthless. Augur's next iteration will not be built in that universe, so there will be no activity there.
Tokens
+ − Is there a new REP token?
Yes. The fork made a distinct REP token possible for each outcome; a token was created with its child universe when REP first migrated to that outcome. Holders received the token of the universe they migrated to, 1:1.
Augur development continues on REPv2_Yes_1, the token for the truthful outcome. The Lituus Foundation has migrated its own holdings and added liquidity. It trades as AUGUR on Kraken and on Uniswap.
+ − Is "AUGUR" on Kraken the same as REPv2_Yes_1?
Yes. REPv2_Yes_1 is the token's on-chain name, used on Uniswap and Etherscan; Kraken lists that same token under the ticker AUGUR.
+ − Does the old REP token still exist?
Yes, but it is not expected to have value or use going forward.
+ − The new token doesn't appear in my wallet yet. Is something wrong?
Usually nothing is wrong. The forked token is new, so many wallets don't detect it automatically yet. We are in contact with platforms and wallets to add support. Most wallets also let you add a token manually via an “import token” or “add custom token” feature — use the REPv2_Yes_1 contract address 0xCf6A0A7826fa124B7705d6f3c675eAD76f1e540D.
To confirm your balance independently, look up your address on Etherscan.
Exchanges
+ − My REP was on Kraken. Did I need to do anything?
No. Kraken supported the fork and migrated REP on behalf of its users, converting balances 1:1 into the new token, which it lists as AUGUR.
+ − What about REP on other exchanges (Gate, Upbit)?
Exchange support varied, and not every exchange migrated on behalf of its users. The safest route was to withdraw REP to a self-custodied wallet and migrate directly. If you held REP on an exchange through the fork and have not seen the new token credited, contact that exchange.
+ − What happened to REP left on an exchange?
If the exchange did not support the migration, its holders may be left with a worthless version of REP.
Scams & Safety
+ − Someone offered to migrate or recover my REP. Is that real?
No. Migration closed in early August 2026 and cannot be reopened, so any site, DM, or “support agent” offering to migrate, recover, or unlock REP is a scam.
Nobody from Augur or the Lituus Foundation will DM you first, and no legitimate process will ever ask for your seed phrase or private keys, or ask you to sign a transaction to “verify” your holdings.
