# Aero Foundation

A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the growth, decentralization, and long-term sustainability of the Aero Protocol and its ecosystem.

01

## Strengthen the Core Protocol

We fund the core development and research that keeps the Aero protocol secure, efficient, and reliable, ensuring the long-term health and stability of the ecosystem's liquidity engine.

02

## Catalyze Ecosystem Innovation

Through strategic grants and partnerships, we empower builders to explore the frontiers of DeFi. We actively support novel projects and technologies that expand Aero’s capabilities and drive value back to the ecosystem.

03

## Champion Open Participation

We are committed to upholding the principles of decentralized governance. We support and facilitate the role of sAERO token operators in shaping the future of the protocol.

Momentum Fund

## The Aero Foundation’s flagship capital allocation program.

One unified initiative for maximizing the impact of sAERO—focusing on three mandates:

### Grow

Support strategic pools, bootstrap new assets, and accelerate partner growth across the network.

### Stabilize

Use rewards to buy back AERO, manage supply intelligently, and lock tokens when beneficial to governance.

### Align

Attract top contributors, such as developers, researchers, and other teams, by offering a short- or long-term share of sAERO’s value generation to incentivize them.

The Aero Foundation is an independent entity dedicated to supporting the Aero ecosystem. It does not control the protocol, which is governed by sAERO holders.
