Aura Mode

Market sentiment and social intelligence for cryptocurrency assets. Track community mindshare, analyze social signals, and understand market psychology beyond just price charts.

BETA Feature: Aura is in active development. Activate Aura by clicking the brain toggle button before asking sentiment-related questions.

What is Aura Mode?

Aura is Zero's sentiment analysis and social intelligence system. It aggregates signals from social media platforms, processes community discussions, and provides insights into market psychology and narrative trends.

Activating Aura

To use Aura Mode, click the brain toggle button in Zero's interface to activate it. Once activated, you can ask sentiment-related questions and Zero will analyze market psychology using Aura's data sources.

Sentiment, Not Prices: Aura provides social sentiment, community mindshare, protocol metrics, and DEX data. It does NOT serve price data or charts—use Zero's free price lookup feature for that.

Data Sources

Aura aggregates market sentiment from curated sources across multiple platforms:

  • Twitter KOLs: Curated key opinion leaders and influential accounts
  • 4chan: Crypto communities and discussions
  • Reddit: Cryptocurrency subreddits and community discourse
  • Live News: Real-time news and market developments
  • On-Chain Data: Blockchain metrics and activity indicators

New sources are being added regularly. All data sources and collection methods are proprietary.

Quality Over Quantity: Aura focuses on high-signal sources to reduce noise and improve sentiment accuracy.

What Aura Measures

Sentiment Scores

Overall emotional tone of discussions about a token or project:

  • Bullish: Positive sentiment, optimism, excitement
  • Neutral: Mixed or informational discussions
  • Bearish: Negative sentiment, concern, criticism

Sentiment is calculated using natural language processing to analyze the tone and context of social posts.

Social Volume

How much a token is being discussed:

  • Total mentions across platforms
  • Trends over time (increasing vs decreasing discussion)
  • Comparison to historical averages
  • Spike detection for sudden surges in attention

Community Mindshare

The relative attention a token receives compared to the broader crypto market:

  • Share of total crypto discussions
  • Trending status (is it gaining or losing mindshare?)
  • Comparison to similar projects

Fear & Greed Index

Market-wide psychology indicator showing overall sentiment across crypto:

  • Extreme Fear (0-24): Investors are very worried, potential buying opportunity
  • Fear (25-49): Cautious sentiment prevails
  • Neutral (50): Balanced market psychology
  • Greed (51-74): Investors are getting greedy, caution warranted
  • Extreme Greed (75-100): Market may be overheated
Contrarian Indicator: Extreme fear often coincides with market bottoms, while extreme greed can signal tops. This index helps identify market extremes.

Key Topics & Narratives

Dominant themes in cryptocurrency discussions:

  • Trending narratives (e.g., "AI crypto", "RWAs", "L2 scaling")
  • Emerging topics gaining traction
  • Fading narratives losing community interest

How Sentiment Analysis Works

  1. Data Collection: Aura continuously monitors social platforms
  2. Content Processing: Natural language processing analyzes post content and context
  3. Sentiment Classification: Posts are classified as bullish, neutral, or bearish
  4. Aggregation: Individual signals are weighted and aggregated into overall scores
  5. Trend Detection: Changes over time are tracked to identify shifting sentiment
Not a Prediction Tool: Sentiment analysis describes current market psychology, not future price movements. Use it as one input among many for decision-making.

Understanding Sentiment Signals

High Sentiment + Price Increase

Positive reinforcement—community is excited and price is validating that excitement. Watch for signs of overheating.

High Sentiment + Price Decrease

Potential disconnect—community remains optimistic despite price drop. Could indicate bottom formation or denial.

Low Sentiment + Price Increase

"Wall of worry"—price rising despite pessimism. Often a strong signal as there's less risk of euphoria.

Low Sentiment + Price Decrease

Capitulation—both sentiment and price are negative. May indicate a bottom is near.

Aura for Research and Due Diligence

Use Aura to research tokens and projects:

  • Identify Community Strength: Gauge community engagement and support for projects
  • Detect Narrative Shifts: Track changing themes and trending topics in crypto discourse
  • Spot Early Trends: Discover emerging projects gaining social momentum
  • Avoid FOMO Traps: Identify overhyped tokens and extreme greed signals

Limitations and Caveats

Manipulation Risk

Social media can be gamed:

  • Bot networks can inflate mention counts
  • Coordinated campaigns can create artificial sentiment
  • Paid shilling can distort genuine community discussion

Aura mitigates this by focusing on trusted sources, but no system is perfect.

Lagging Indicator

Sentiment often lags price movements. By the time social media is extremely bullish, the price may have already pumped.

Not Financial Advice

Sentiment data is informational, not predictive. Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Critical Thinking Required: Always verify sentiment signals with other research. Don't trade based solely on social sentiment.

Privacy in Sentiment Analysis

Your Aura queries are private:

  • Zero doesn't log which tokens you're researching
  • No tracking of your sentiment query patterns
  • Query history cleared when you destroy your session

Unlike social platforms that profile your interests, Aura provides sentiment data without surveillance.

Credit Usage

Aura Mode costs 2x the normal token-based credit rate. When Aura is activated, each AI interaction costs double the token-based amount compared to standard AI queries.

Best Practices

  • Use as Confirmation: Sentiment should confirm other research, not drive decisions alone
  • Watch for Extremes: Extreme fear/greed often signals potential reversals
  • Track Trends Over Time: One-day sentiment spikes are less meaningful than sustained shifts
  • Consider the Source: KOL sentiment matters more than random Twitter accounts
  • Combine with Fundamentals: Strong fundamentals + positive sentiment is more powerful than either alone
