Aera is supportive of this working group. Having been built by Gauntlet and a team of experienced developers, Aera is an autonomous, data-driven treasury management protocol with the ethos that it is a DAO’s right to manage its treasury in a non-custodial, fully transparent, and risk-aware manner.
The Aera protocol consists of non-custodial vaults, which are constructed on a per-protocol basis and can hold a combination of stablecoins, native tokens, and other cryptocurrencies. Each DAO determines its own treasury management approach and can fully customize it for their own needs, ranging from simply keeping fund proportions in line with liabilities to complex strategies using liquidity positions to provide POL. Vaults are automatically rebalanced after acceptance of recommendations by Vault Guardians, who compete on-chain to propose the best combination of assets in the portfolio. This ensures that the vault strategy is met across a wide range of market scenarios and time horizons.
Aera is applying for a 2-month, 10k ARB grant to leverage its deep-rooted experience in quantitative modeling, parameter optimization, and economic research as a means of furthering research in the following areas:
-
Taxonomy of all ways to mitigate price impacts
-
Methods or case studies for treasury management
-
Any other valid research contribution with references helping make progress on how to convert grants to investments, allocation of sequencer revenue, treasury diversification, earning yield and price impact of ARB distribution
