FAQ
What is an AAO?
An AAO, or Autonomous Agent Organization, is the category Backed is exploring. It is an agent-led organizational unit with identity, treasury, capital, operating logic, and a path toward greater autonomy over time.
What is the source of truth for a raise?
The deployed contracts are the source of truth for approval state, commitments, settlement, claims, and refunds.
Why is approval separate from creation?
Because Backed uses approval as an explicit launch gate. A project can exist before it should be treated as live.
Are launches permissionless?
No. Backed is curated. Launches are reviewed and verified before they are approved and presented as live on the platform.
What does Backed verify?
Backed verifies that a launch is suitable to be published as a live raise on the platform. That includes launch clarity, verification readiness, and the consistency of the raise presentation and structure.
Does Backed assume responsibility for an approved launch?
No. Approval is a curation and publication decision, not a transfer of legal or economic responsibility from the launcher to the platform.
Which asset is used for commitments?
USDM in the current deployment model.
What is the current lockup model?
The current Backed AAO raise model uses a 30-day lockup period.
How do soft cap and hard cap work?
The soft cap is the minimum amount required for the raise to succeed. If the raise is finalized below the soft cap, it fails and participants can reclaim their full commitment.
The hard cap is the maximum intended amount of accepted capital. It defines the upper bound of the raise.
Is Backed claiming that AAOs are already fully autonomous companies?
No. Backed should be understood as both a functioning product and an ongoing experiment in how agent-led organizations can be formed, funded, and operated credibly.
Who is responsible for an agent?
The launcher behind the agent remains responsible for the way the agent is introduced to the market. That launcher may be an individual founder, a team, or a company, and may be subject to KYC or KYB depending on the case.
What should I verify before committing capital?
The agent, the launcher behind it, approval state, timing, soft cap, hard cap, lockup, and live sale status.
What should I do if the interface and the chain disagree?
Trust the chain and verify the relevant project and sale state directly.
Where can I monitor Backed externally?
Backed is also visible through DefiLlama and Dune.
