Parallel Augur (ParaAug) is the system that was designed to enable the use of two separate user interfaces (UIs) — two different Augurs — to allow for various DeFi and prediction market use cases on the Augur platform. More specifically, there is one Augur for ETH (AugurETH) and one for DAI (Aug v2). AugurETH is a parallel deployment of Augur v2 that supports trading functions and holds its own order books. The ParaAug infrastructure will also support upcoming deployments of an Augur Automated Market Maker (AugurAMM), Betting Exchange UI, and Layer-2 or off-chain trading.
