Aura is how Kahana promotes quality

Aura is community endorsement. You give it to hubs and to files inside hubs that you find worth learning from, so quality can rise across the library.

Aura is not money. It is not crypto. It is not payment. It is a careful signal from people who care about what they learn.

You automatically have up to 5 Aura to give each day. Give all of your Aura to one hub or file, or split it across a few.

Your Aura renews daily. At midnight UTC you get 5 Aura again to give, even if you used all 5 already.

When your daily Aura renews, that is a fresh budget to give. Aura you already placed on a hub or file stays there. It does not vanish overnight.

You control it. If you change your mind later, you can remove Aura you gave. Given Aura stays until you decide otherwise.

Anyone with an account can give Aura. You do not need to create a hub first.

Learners and creators share the same daily budget and the same rules.

You can give Aura to hubs of digital artifacts, and to files inside those hubs (videos, documents, ebooks, images, links, and more).

When you give Aura to a file, that hub also receives 1 Aura. Giving Aura to a hub does not add Aura to the files inside it. That one-way rollup helps particularly noteworthy files get exposure: file Aura shows on the file inside the hub and in search and ranking.

You cannot give Aura directly to hub owners, profiles, or other users as people.

You cannot give Aura to your own hubs or to files you own in them. Endorsement has to come from others.
