Last week, we announced that the Public Goods Fund and Flight School will soon merge to create one of the most advanced economic programs in DeFi: The Momentum Fund.
It will use the power of veAERO to strengthen the Aero economy with three core mandates.
Here’s how 👇
1. Grow
Purpose: direct AERO rewards to pools that make the economy stronger.
Following the same playbook that helped Aerodrome grow liquidity for core Base assets like cbBTC, USDC, & EURC, the Fund will act as a standing source of economic power to vote for strategic pools.
2. Stabilize
Purpose: stabilize the Aero economy.
As a veAERO voter, the Fund will earn rewards and direct this value back to the token through market-aware buybacks, a mathematical approach that acquires and burns tokens when it matters most.
2. Stabilize (cont.)
The Fund will accumulate reserves when markets are strong, and deploy those reserves strategically to buy and burn AERO (liquid or locked).
In backtesting over a two year period, the Fund could have removed over 100M AERO tokens from the market.
3. Align
Purpose: expand the network of aligned contributors
The Fund will identify, invite, and incentivize new contributors. From individuals building a great new feature, to entire teams that have developed great tech but are held back by poorly designed economic systems.
3. Align (cont.)
With Aero, users' and builders' interests are aligned.
The Fund will offer talented devs a stake in the protocol’s growth through veAERO, functioning as a Public Goods meets M&A program, all onchain—a system designed not to compete for talent, but to align it.
