Can AI agents replace human financial professionals? VaderAI introduces AI-managed investment strategies, can Tokenomics roll the flywheel?

Since the launch of AI agents, we have seen aixbt as an AI analyst. But have you ever thought about AI as a fund manager? That's exactly the role of VaderAI on Virtuals, aiming to become the BlackRock of the AI agent world. They offer active and passive investment position selection, AI KOLs (like aixbt), and a token economy that is different from general AI agents.

BlackRock in the AI world, Vader helps you manage assets

VaderAI is mainly divided into two major parts, the investment platform VaderAI Fun and the AI KOL VaderAI. On VaderAI Fun, you can choose to participate in investment DAO (which the author basically thinks is in the form of a fund). Currently, there are two open targets, VaderAI Small Cap and VaderAI Micro Cap, both of which are managed by VaderAI.

The VaderAI Small Cap website transparently displays the current investment position and net asset value. The investment strategy of VaderAI Small Cap is to aggregate thousands of machine learning-based trading strategies and trade AI agents on Virtuals within the market capitalization range of $2 million to $10 million. Another advantage of VaderAI Small Cap is that the project team negotiates with AI agent teams on Virtuals for over-the-counter (OTC) trading at a discounted price, and then submits it to VaderAI for final decision-making.

The VaderAI Micro Cap trades within the market cap range of $100,000 to $2 million. Both funds are passive funds, which means they define the investment target range (such as market cap or project theme, such as DeSci or DeFi), rebalance frequency, index weighting method, minimum liquidity requirements, minimum holding period for the target, and maximum position limit for a single target. Currently, the investment limit for both funds has been reached, and they will be locked for three months until March 20.

It is worth noting that only $Virtuals Token can be used for investment on VaderAI Fun, which also empowers $Virtuals Token. In addition, the passive DAO managed by VaderAI will charge a fee of 0.5%. These fees will be paid to $VADER stakers. The actively managed funds are currently divided into those managed by Vader AI or human IcoBeast. If the actively managed funds generate positive returns, the managers can collect performance fees, with a maximum cap of 20%, of which a fixed 20% performance fee is allocated to $VADER stakers.

$VADER as the core of the ecosystem, with both benefit distribution and Token contraction

VaderAI KOL is similar to aixbt, but the difference is that he mainly shares the positions of the funds he manages and some market changes. In contrast, aixbt is more like a researcher.

When it comes to the design of VaderAI Token

Currently, $VIRTUAL is used as the currency for funding the DAO. After the liquidity and price of $VADER gradually stabilize, it will be changed to use $VADER.

The management fee earned by VaderAI (whether active or passive) will be used to repurchase $VADER and reward $VADER holders. The 20% performance fee charged by other agents or human-managed active funds will be used to repurchase $VADER and reward $VADER holders.

A 1% handling fee will be charged for withdrawals from actively managed funds, and these fees will be converted to $VADER and destroyed to create a deflationary Token economy.

Funds must maintain a 10%-20% cash reserve as a liquidity buffer to meet withdrawal demands and the need to rebalance assets in the event of sudden market changes. This means that each fund will hold a 10-20% $VADER position as a cash reserve.

The positive income generated by the fund will be distributed to participants in the form of $VADER Token.

Approved managers need to pledge 100,000 $VADER to establish a fund.

During the initial fundraising, priority will be given to $VADER token holders for 24 hours before it is open to the public if there are remaining shares.

VaderAI's wallet will reward all airdrop tokens received from advertisements, sponsorships, partnerships, or authorizations to $VADER holders.

You can monitor the status of $Vader Token on Dune. 36% of the supply is controlled by the team for marketing, liquidity, and development purposes. Currently, Vader Token is also available on Solana. The lock-up period for $Vader is currently three months, with 511,394,637 tokens being staked, which is more than half of the supply.

The team covers members from well-known companies such as OpenAI, Riot, etc.

Previously, it was mentioned that VaderAI has a feature to mediate with other AI agent teams to purchase tokens at a discounted OTC price. Recently, the first collaboration case was announced, and VaderAI will collaborate with the AI agent oracle ACOLYT on Virtuals. VaderAI will buy 20 million $ACOLYT at 60% of market price, with a lock-up period of three weeks.

The ACOLYT team has a strong background. According to the project leader's article, the team has gathered experts and consultants with diverse backgrounds, covering various areas such as AI, full-stack development, strategy, design, and community management, with rich experience and international cooperation qualifications. This includes external researchers of OpenAI, participation in Tesla and OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy's LLM.c open-source project, etc.
