Where Capital
Finds Purpose.

Your governance retains full control. Your funds never leave your custody. AVC deploys idle DAO treasury assets into institutional-grade yield — transparently, non-custodially, and only through on-chain governance votes you approve.

From Idle to Earning
in as Little as 30 Days.

Our process is designed to be fast, transparent, and low-friction for governance communities.

01

Treasury Audit

We analyze your current treasury — composition, idle capital, existing yield, and risk tolerance.

02

Proposal Submitted

We submit a detailed governance proposal with allocation strategy, projected returns, and fee structure.

03

Community Vote

Your governance community votes. If approved, funds move to a jointly-controlled multi-sig wallet.

04

Capital Deployed

We deploy per the approved strategy. Weekly on-chain reports posted publicly in your governance forum.

Institutional-Grade Yield. DeFi-Native Execution.

Our default allocation prioritizes capital preservation and predictable yield. The T-bill allocation provides a risk-free baseline backed by US government securities.

Lending allocations are dynamically rebalanced to capture the highest risk-adjusted yield across Aave and Morpho — without exposing the treasury to smart contract concentration risk.

What We Do

One Active Service. A Roadmap Built to Scale.

AVC launches with one focused service — DAO treasury management — and a clear roadmap to expand. You keep custody. You keep control. We earn only when you earn.

● Active

DAO Treasury Management

Your governance votes. Your timelock executes. Your delegates co-sign. We propose the strategy, build the framework, and earn only on yield generated — never on AUM. Full custody stays with the DAO.

↗ Target: 6–12% APY on managed assets
Phase 2 · 2026

Cross-Chain Liquidity Solving

We act as a solver on intent-based protocols — Uniswap X, Across, CoW Protocol — filling user orders and capturing spread. Automated, capital-efficient, low-risk.

↗ Target: 30–50% ROI on deployed capital
🔗
Phase 3 · 2027

Real-World Asset Yield

We bridge institutional real-world yields — invoice factoring, trade finance, private credit — to on-chain capital pools. DeFi investors earn 9–11% APY. We capture the spread.

↗ Target: 4–6% spread on $10M+ pools

What Idle Capital
Actually Costs You.

Most DAO treasuries sit in stablecoins or native tokens earning nothing. This is what you're leaving on the table.

Our Commitments

You Keep Control.
We Earn Results.

The three objections every DAO raises — fees, custody, centralization — are the three things our structure is built to eliminate from day one.

Performance-Based Fees Only

We don't charge management fees on pilots. We earn when your treasury earns. Incentives aligned from day one.

100% On-Chain Transparency

Every position, every transaction, every yield payment is visible on-chain in real time. No black boxes.

Multi-Sig Controlled

Your funds are never in our sole custody. All deployments require multi-sig approval with your delegates as co-signers.

Governance-Native

We work through your governance process — not around it. Every strategy change requires a community vote.

Audited Protocol Stack

We only deploy into battle-tested, audited protocols — Aave, Morpho, Ondo Finance, and Compound.

Exit Anytime

Full liquidity with 7-day notice. Your community is never locked in. We earn trust, not lock-ups.

The Team

Operator-Led.
Onchain-Native.

We bring real-world operator discipline to onchain capital management — no theory, no fluff.

AVC

August Venture Capital

Houston, Texas — Est. 2026

A division of August Aisles LLC — a Houston-based operating company. AVC brings operator discipline and institutional rigor to onchain capital management for DAOs and protocols.

Common Questions

What Governance
Teams Ask Us.

The questions we hear from every DAO before they engage — answered honestly.

How does the multi-sig work — do you control our funds?

+

No. Funds never leave your DAO's control without a co-signed transaction. All deployments use a jointly-controlled multi-sig where your governance delegates hold co-signing keys. AVC cannot move capital unilaterally. You can revoke access and withdraw at any time.

What's your fee structure?

+

We charge no management fee on initial pilots. Our fee is 10–15% of yield generated — we only earn when your treasury earns. If a $10M allocation generates $800K in annual yield, AVC takes $80–120K. If it generates nothing, we take nothing.

What happens if we want to exit?

+

Full exit with 7 days notice. We only deploy into liquid positions — Aave, Morpho, and Ondo USDY can all be unwound within hours. There are no lock-ups, lockout periods, or exit penalties. Your community is never trapped.

How does this go through our governance process?

+

We draft everything. AVC submits a governance post → Temperature Check (Snapshot) → Formal On-chain Proposal. We attend community calls, answer delegate questions, and provide all supporting data. The community votes — we never bypass governance. Typical timeline: 30–45 days from first contact to live deployment.

What are the smart contract risks?

+

Real and worth taking seriously. We only deploy into battle-tested, multiply-audited protocols — Aave (7+ years, $10B+ TVL), Morpho (audited by Spearbit + Cantina), and Ondo Finance (SEC-registered, US T-bill backed). We maintain a 10% cash reserve at all times as a liquidity buffer. No experimental protocols, no leverage, no derivatives.

Can we start with a smaller pilot before committing larger capital?

+

Yes — and we recommend it. A $1–5M pilot allocation for 90 days lets your governance community see exactly how we operate before committing larger capital. Full on-chain reporting throughout. The pilot governance proposal is simpler and faster to pass than a full mandate.
