Augur

The application packages the Augur UI client and the Augur Node service into a single Electron‑based distribution that runs locally on a user’s computer. The UI provides a reference interface for interacting with Augur’s core smart contracts on Ethereum, while the Node component continuously scans the blockchain for relevant event logs, stores them in a local database, and supplies the data to the UI.

It is aimed at developers, traders, and participants who need a self‑contained environment for accessing Augur markets without relying on remote services. The bundled setup supports multiple Ethereum networks—including Mainnet, testnets, and a local chain—and integrates with common authentication tools such as MetaMask, Edge, Ledger, and Trezor.

Distinctively, the app delivers a lightweight, cross‑platform experience (macOS, Windows, Linux) that handles node synchronization in the background and launches the UI in a local browser once sync is complete. Users can also build the app from source with npm, providing flexibility for customization or contribution.
