REP makes lying expensive.
REP (Reputation) is Augur’s token. Every Augur Lituus answer has REP staked behind it: back a wrong one and you lose your bond, mostly to whoever was right. Holding REP never requires you to take part.

Augur Lituus is being built around this token. Address checked on Etherscan, 19 October 2026.
Lying gets more expensive every round
Anyone can report what happened, and anyone who disagrees can challenge. Every challenge doubles the bond, so keeping a false answer standing costs more each round, until every REP holder decides.
Report
15 REPon YES
Someone stakes a bond equal to the question’s fee on what happened.
Challenges
30 REPon NO
60 REPon YES
120 REPon NO
240 REPon YES
…and on
Anyone who disagrees stakes double on a different outcome. Each challenge doubles the bond again and restarts the appeal period.
Fork
Fork thresholdA set shareof all REP
If the next bond would pass the fork threshold, the question goes to every REP holder.
When an appeal period ends with no new challenge, the latest answer is final. Whoever backed it gets their bond back plus 80% of the losing bonds; the other 20% is burned.
Taking part is optional
Holding REP asks nothing of you day to day. Rewards go only to people who report or challenge, and only when their answer holds.
If a fork happens
A fork is the last resort, and the one time holding REP asks something of you: move your REP to the universe you believe reflects reality, or it loses its value.
A bond reaches the fork threshold
Challenges have doubled the bond until the next one would pass a set share of all REP.
The universe splits
One new universe is created for each possible answer, each with its own REP. Other open questions start reporting again there.
You move your REP
Move it to the universe you believe reflects reality. Moving is one-way, and the whitepaper proposes a two-week window. REP you don’t move loses its value.
The most-backed universe wins
The universe that receives the most REP settles the answer, and the original contracts follow it.

The Moon Fork
Augur v2’s fork mechanism had its first live run over whether Artemis II had lifted off. It had: REP holders migrated to the universe they backed, and Yes won.

Augur v2’s rules differ from the proposed Augur Lituus rules: its window was 60 days.
Which REP do you hold?
Since the Moon Fork there’s more than one REP, and only one is current. Check the contract address, not the name or ticker.
REPv1
Legacy- What it is
- The original REP, from Augur’s first version.
- If you hold it
- It isn’t used by Augur v2 or Augur Lituus.
REPv2
Legacy- What it is
- Augur v2’s REP, in the universe that forked in 2026.
- If you hold it
- If you didn’t move it during the Moon Fork, it stays there. The window closed on 3 August 2026 and can’t be reopened.
Moon Fork · 3 August 2026 REPv2 split into one REP per answer.
REPv2_Yes_1
Current- What it is
- The REP of the Moon Fork’s winning universe. Augur development continues on it, and Augur Lituus is being built around it.
REPv2_No_1
Other universe- What it is
- The REP of the Moon Fork’s No universe, separate from Yes.
- If you hold it
- Augur development continues on REPv2_Yes_1, not here.
Questions about REP
What role does REP play?
REP secures Augur's oracle. Participants back answers and challenges with REP bonds, and if a dispute reaches a fork, holders migrate their REP to the universe they believe reflects reality. Augur Lituus is being built around REPv2_Yes_1, the REP that migrated to the winning universe in the Moon Fork.
