[[ The Minds Behind The Reboot ]]
The Lituus Foundation is the steward of Augur's revival. It holds and deploys treasury funds to support independent teams working toward the project's success.
To encourage innovation, redundancy, and diverse problem-solving strategies, the Foundation has funded two parallel teams:
Two teams, two approaches. One mission: revive Augur.
Lituus Labs
Focused on oracle architecture, cryptoeconomic security, and protocol design. Their current work centers on a generalized, finalizing oracle.
lituus.io →Dark Florist
Focused on alternative oracle structures, user-facing applications, and incentive models. Their approach emphasizes a non-finalizing oracle design.
dark.florist →Each team brings its own perspective to solving the core challenges of decentralized truth, and both contribute directly to Augur's evolving roadmap. This dual-team model ensures that ideas are rigorously explored from multiple angles — accelerating progress, increasing resilience, and reducing single-point failure risk.
[[ Where We're Headed ]]
Finalizing the new oracle architecture
with academic-style documentation and formal reasoning
Expanding REP token accessibility
across more exchanges and L2s
Relaunching an Augur-native market protocol
once oracle security and fee-routing mechanisms are finalized
We see Augur not just as a product, but as an evolving open infrastructure project — a decentralized public good that anyone can contribute to or build on.
