The âfi 802 vault debuted in September at Token2049, capturing attention as the crypto’s first AI quant structured product.

The dApp supports stablecoin deposits (USDC, USDT, DAI), and provides a streamlined experience for both retail and institutional investors to engage with complex DeFi strategies.

> Custody, Liquidity, & Risk

Investors retain custody of their funds and can redeem at NAV at any time, ensuring liquidity. The platform’s adaptive stop-loss system helps guard against sudden market downturns, while the AI model focuses on high-confidence trades. This combination of control, transparency, and risk management seeks to deliver outlier returns while mitigating downside exposure.

The Bigger Picture: Why âfi 802 Matters

From leading M&A in London to founding Milk Mantra—a purpose driven consumer startup backed by Fidelity, Sri Misra & the aarnâ team brings a proven track record. With âfi 802, aarnâ aims to replicate the role that structured products like mutual funds, ETFs and quant funds play in traditional markets.
