# $stAUR

The new Liquid Staking solution launched by Meta Pool’s team is designed to provide a passive income to holders within the Aurora ecosystem. This innovative solution enhances the functionality of the $AURORA token by offering a staking service that allows users to earn rewards while their tokens remain liquid and accessible.

Additionally, having a native token provides an added layer of security as it eliminates the reliance on third-party bridges for transferring tokens across different chains.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-by-chains/aurora-network/usdstaur.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
