The Aurum EX bot is an automated agent that trades on decentralised exchanges (DEXs) on your behalf. It's the workhorse of the Aurum Foundation ecosystem — a trading bot that targets roughly ~0.5% per day (around ~15–17.5% per month, depending on your tier), with profits credited to your dashboard daily.

Read that sentence again, because the word doing the heavy lifting is targets. A target is not a promise. We'll come back to that more than once, because it's the difference between an honest expectation and a story that gets people hurt.

We've been running the Aurum EX bot personally for months, so this is the version of the guide we wish someone had handed us on day one: every step, every fee, every screen, and an honest line on what we can and can't verify.

If you just want to start, here's our partner link — the same dashboard we use:

One quick caveat about that dashboard image and the marketing language on it. Phrases like "secure & reliable" and "stable income up to 17.5% monthly" are Aurum's own words, not ours. We've seen the daily credits land during our test period, but "stable income" is a strong claim for any trading product, and we haven't independently audited the strategy behind the numbers. Keep that distinction in your head as you read.

Quick glance — Aurum EX bot at a glance

A word on that 82/100: it's our score, based on our 8-point framework, and it reflects a platform we've used without trouble — not a clean bill of health. An 82 still leaves room for things we can't see. Treat it as "we've tested this and it's behaved so far", not "this is safe".

What is the Aurum EX bot?

The EX bot sits inside Aurum's broader AI trading bot suite alongside Neyro and Quantum Alpha (which we cover in our Neyro beta launch article).

Where Neyro is more directional, EX is the grinder. It runs around the clock across major pairs, applies real-time risk management, and credits small daily profits to your account. The pitch is steady accumulation rather than big swings.

You don't pick trades. You don't set stop losses. You fund it, you start it, and you check in. That hands-off design is the appeal — and it's also the thing to be clear-eyed about, because you're trusting a strategy you can't inspect line by line. Aurum hasn't published the full mechanics of how the bot trades, and we can't verify them independently. So the daily rate is something we've observed, not something we've audited.

💡 Want to see the maths first? Open our interactive Aurum profit calculator and model 1k, 5k or 10k USDT over 1–24 months, with or without daily compounding. Aurum's own native calculator looks like this:

That screenshot is Aurum's own dashboard: 1,000 USDT in, a one-year term, daily compounding switched on, projecting roughly 4,509 USDT out. A projection is a calculator doing arithmetic on a fixed daily rate — it assumes the bot hits its target every single day, which no trading product does. Real results vary. It's useful for getting the order of magnitude the bot aims at, and nothing more.

Deposit packages — pick your tier

Aurum splits the EX bot into deposit packages. Bigger deposits earn a higher client share of the bot's daily profits, and therefore a higher effective monthly yield.

\ Indicative monthly yield based on the platform's published daily-rate range and the tier's profit split. Not guaranteed, and the underlying daily rate is set by Aurum.*

🟢 Practical tip: If you're testing the platform for the first time, start at the Basic tier (100 USDT). Once you've completed a full deposit → bot run → withdrawal cycle and you trust the system, scale up to the higher tiers where the client share is more attractive. We did it in that order on purpose, and we'd do it that way again.

Step 1 — Sign up to Aurum

Head to the registration page and create your account with an email and password.

👉 Register on Aurum Foundation →{:target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored"}

Click the email verification link, set your password, and you'll land in the back-office dashboard. This is mission control: deposits, bots, exchange, withdrawals — all in one place.

A note on KYC

Aurum is light-touch on KYC at sign-up, but expect to verify your identity if you start moving meaningful sums or want to lift withdrawal limits. Have a passport or ID and a recent utility bill ready — it saves a day of back-and-forth later. We explain why KYC matters in crypto here. Light KYC is convenient, but it cuts both ways: less friction for you also means less standing between a bad actor and an account, so the 2FA in the next step matters even more.

Step 2 — Add an authenticator app (do this first, seriously)

Before you deposit a single dollar, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in your Security settings. This is the one step we'd refuse to skip.

What is an authenticator app?

It's a small phone app that generates a fresh 6-digit code every 30 seconds. When you log in or withdraw, Aurum asks for your password and the current code. Even if someone steals your password, they can't get into your account without your phone.

In our book this isn't optional — it's the single biggest thing standing between an attacker and your balance. We go deeper on this in our crypto security guides.

Which app to use

Setting it up

1. In Aurum, go to Security → 2FA and click Enable.
2. Scan the QR code with your chosen app.
3. Write down the 16-character backup key on paper. If you lose your phone and don't have this, recovery is painful. Store it offline — not in a screenshot, not in your email.
4. Enter the current 6-digit code to confirm.

Done. From now on, every login and every withdrawal will ask for the code. That backup key in step 3 is the part people skip and regret, so do it now while you're thinking about it.

Step 3 — Pay the $25 ecosystem fee

Aurum charges a one-time $25 activation fee that unlocks the entire ecosystem: the AI trading bots (EX, Neyro, Quantum Alpha), the in-house exchange, and the staking and yield products. You'll see the prompt the first time you try to enter the bot section.

It's a small one-off gatekeeping fee, paid once per account. After that, every product inside the ecosystem is unlocked. One honest note: an upfront fee to access a platform is a thing scam operations also do, so it's worth knowing why this one didn't put us off — it's a single $25 charge, not a recurring one, and not a "pay to withdraw" demand later on. A fee that appears between you and your money at withdrawal time would be a very different story. This one isn't that.

Step 4 — Deposit USDT or USDC (this is where people mess up)

This is the single most important step in the whole guide, because picking the wrong network means losing the funds. We've felt that stress ourselves, and we've watched community members go through it too. It's avoidable, but only if you slow down.

The rules

• The EX bot can only be funded with USDT{:target="_blank" rel="noopener"} or USDC{:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
• The network you pick on Aurum must match the network you send from on the other side.
• We default to Ethereum (ERC-20) wherever possible. It's slightly more expensive in gas, but it's the most universally supported network and the hardest to mis-route.

Network comparison

⚠️ Critical: If you send USDT-TRC20 to an ERC-20 deposit address (or the other way round), the funds are gone. There's no support ticket that fixes this — not from Aurum, not from anyone. If you're uncertain, you can confirm an Ethereum deposit address looks right by pasting it into Etherscan ↗{:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}; a real ERC-20 address will resolve there.

How to deposit (step by step)

1. In Aurum, go to Wallet → Deposit.
2. Choose USDT (or USDC).
3. Select Ethereum (ERC-20) as the network.
4. Copy the deposit address shown.
5. Open your sending wallet (Binance, Coinbase, MetaMask, Kraken, and so on).
6. On the sending side, also select Ethereum / ERC-20 for the withdrawal network.
7. Send a small test amount first ($10–20) if it's a brand-new account.
8. Wait for confirmations (usually 5–15 minutes on Ethereum).

When the funds land, your USDT or USDC balance will appear in your Aurum wallet. That test deposit in step 7 costs you a little gas and buys you a lot of peace of mind. Do it.

Step 5 — Fund the EX bot and start it

Now the part everyone's here for. In the dashboard, go to Bots → EX-AI Bot.

1. Click Fund Bot.
2. Enter the amount of USDT/USDC you want to allocate. Remember: this is the amount that gets locked for 12 months, so only fund what you genuinely won't need for a year.
3. Confirm — Aurum moves the balance from your wallet into the bot.
4. Hit Start Bot.

That's it. The bot is now running. You'll start seeing daily profit credits within 24 hours.

What a daily profit credit actually looks like

Aurum publishes the daily rate every day in its official Telegram channel. Here's a real one we received during our test period:

That's 0.5775% on a 3,111 USDT balance for a single day, which came to 17.97 USDT credited automatically. We can verify the credit landed in our own account — that part we watched happen. What we can't independently verify is how that figure is generated, or that the rate Aurum publishes always matches real trading performance underneath. We're showing you a screenshot of a credit we received, not a proof of the strategy. Worth being honest about the difference.

Compound or withdraw?

Each day the bot credits earnings, and you've got two choices:

There's no single right answer — it depends on whether you want monthly income or maximum compounding. One caution: compounding feels great on a calculator, but it also means more of your money sitting inside a locked product you can't fully see into. Compare both modes side by side with our profit calculator, and size the decision to how much risk you're comfortable carrying.

Step 6 — Withdrawing your earnings (and what to expect)

This is where managed expectations matter.

How to withdraw

1. Go to Wallet → Withdraw.
2. Pick USDT or USDC.
3. Select the same network you deposited on (Ethereum, if you followed our advice).
4. Paste your external wallet address.
5. Confirm with your 2FA code.

🟢 Real talk from our testing: We've withdrawn earnings dozens of times across several months, and every one has landed. The 1–2 day delay is operational, not a red flag — it's just slower than a centralised exchange. That said, our experience is our experience. It's not a guarantee that yours will be identical, and a smooth withdrawal history can change if a platform's circumstances change. Keep watching, not just trusting.

About the 30% early-release fee

If you genuinely need your locked principal back before the 12-month term ends, you can get it — but it costs roughly 30%. Hold to full term and that drops to about 1%.

That 30% is steep, and we're not going to dress it up. It's the trade-off Aurum sets for the daily yield, and it's the single most important number in this guide after the lock itself. It's also why we tell every reader the same thing: never deposit funds you might need in the next 12 months. If there's any chance you'll want that money early, the 30% haircut should weigh heavily on whether you commit it at all.

How does the EX bot stack up vs other automated bots?

We've reviewed a lot of "AI trading bot" platforms, and honestly, most of them shouldn't be touched. Here's the high-level comparison:

Notice the word "custodial" against the Aurum row. It means Aurum holds the funds while the bot runs, rather than the money staying in a wallet you control. That's a real concentration of trust, and it's the main risk to weigh — separate from the platform behaving well day to day. The self-hosted option, where you hold your own keys, is lower-yield but keeps custody in your hands. There's no free lunch in that table; each row trades one thing for another. See more side-by-side breakdowns on our comparisons page.

Our honest take after months of running it

We've been running the EX bot for several months alongside our other Aurum coverage, and the experience has been consistent:

• ✅ Daily profits have shown up roughly in line with the ~0.5% target.
• ✅ Withdrawals have always processed (1–2 days).
• ✅ The 2FA and back-office experience feel solid and professional.
• ⚠️ The 12-month lock is real — plan for it.
• ⚠️ Network selection on deposits and withdrawals is unforgiving — go slow the first time.
• ⚠️ It's custodial, and the trading mechanics aren't something we can audit. You're trusting Aurum's process.

Is it risk-free? No automated trading product ever is, and Aurum is no exception. Any platform offering a steady daily return funded by trading carries the risk that the returns dry up or the model doesn't hold — that's true here as anywhere, and our positive experience to date doesn't cancel it. Read our full risk breakdown in the main review and the wider AI Finance hub before you size anything up. Don't take our months of smooth sailing as a forecast of yours.

Ready to start?

If you've read this guide end to end, you've got 2FA lined up, and you're genuinely comfortable with the 12-month lock and the 30% early-exit fee — here's the partner link:

Take it slow on day one. Test deposit. Test a small withdrawal of an earning. Build trust with the system before you scale. That's how we did it, and it's why we're still here months later writing this guide. Start with money you can afford to lock away and, in the worst case, lose — not money you'll need.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is the 0.5% per day guaranteed? No, and we wouldn't trust anyone who told you it was. It's the platform's target return. It's been broadly consistent during our test period — we've recorded days at 0.5775% and others slightly below 0.5% — but no automated bot can guarantee a daily yield. Treat it as a target, not a promise.

Q: What's the minimum to start? 100 USDT on the Basic tier. 250 USDT unlocks Standard, which has a better profit split.

Q: Can I run the EX bot and Neyro at the same time? Yes — they're independent. Plenty of users in the community split capital across both. See our Neyro beta launch coverage.

Q: What if I lose my 2FA phone? If you wrote down the backup key (Step 2), re-import it into a new authenticator app and you're back in. If you didn't, open a support ticket and verify your identity — expect days, not hours.

Q: Why Ethereum and not Tron (TRC-20)? Tron is cheaper but easier to mis-route. Ethereum is the most universally supported network across exchanges and wallets, so the chance of a network mismatch is lower. If you're a confident user, TRC-20 works too — just triple-check both ends.

Q: Is my principal safe during the 12-month lock? Your principal is held by Aurum (this is a custodial product) and locked for the term, with a ~30% fee to pull it out early. "Safe" depends on Aurum continuing to operate and perform as it has so far, which is something we can't guarantee on your behalf. Only commit money you can do without for the full year.

Q: Are profits taxable? In most jurisdictions, yes. Daily bot profits are typically treated as income. Consult a local tax professional — this article isn't tax advice.
