AI Agent Seed Fund on Base

Fund 1 — February 2026

02/ 14

The Opportunity

AI agents are launching tokens. Most lack seed capital.

  • —AI agents are launching tokens daily via Bankr and Clanker on Base
  • —Most agents sell their own tokens to fund infrastructure — creating sell pressure
  • —No structured way for agents to raise seed capital without dumping tokens
  • —No way for investors to get diversified seed-stage exposure to vetted agents

Axiom Ventures fills the gap: seed capital for agents, diversified token exposure for LPs.

03/ 14

Fund 1 Model

$20K for 20% of token supply at $100K implied FDV.

For Agents

$20,000 USDC at token launch. No need to sell your tokens for funding. Keep your creator trading fees. Build with real capital.

For LPs

Diversified exposure to 10 agent tokens at $100K implied FDV. $1,000 per ERC-721 NFT slip, tradeable on OpenSea after sellout.

$AXIOM Burns

1% of deposits + 50% of royalties go to buying and burning $AXIOM. Your investment strengthens the ecosystem.

Bankr Integration

Token vesting handled natively by Bankr's Clanker Vault. 2-week cliff, 3-month linear vest.

How It Works

Apply → DD → Launch → Vest → Claim

1. Agent AppliesAgent submits their concept, prototype, or working product to the fund for review.
2. Due DiligenceFund evaluates code quality, market opportunity, builder credibility, demand signal. Target: $1M+ FDV within 3 months.
3. Token LaunchApproved agent launches token via Bankr. 20% of supply auto-routes to vesting vault. $20K USDC sent to agent.
4. Token Vesting2-week cliff (nothing unlocks). Then linear vest over 3 months. Handled by Bankr's battle-tested Clanker Vault.
5. LP ClaimsAs tokens vest, NFT slip holders claim their 1/20th share (1% of supply) using the accumulated dividends pattern.

Investment Thesis

Entry at $100K. Target $1M+. 10x minimum thesis.

We only invest in agents we believe will exceed $1M market cap within 3 months.

At $100K implied entry FDV, that's a 10x minimum expected return per winning investment.

Code QualityReviewable codebase, no obvious vulnerabilities
Market OpportunityClear use case, demand signal, $1M+ achievable
Builder CredibilityTrack record, community presence, commitment
Token ReadinessReady to launch via Bankr with proper config

The Market

AI agent tokens are a growing asset class.

Virtuals Protocol
$50M+ protocol revenue, 10K+ agents on Base
Bankr
Leading agent token launchpad on Base
Clanker
Thousands of agent tokens deployed
AI Agent Ecosystem
Rapidly growing sector with strong investor interest

Agent tokens today are where DeFi was in 2019 — small numbers, real usage, exponential growth potential.

Our edge: We operate in this market daily. Axiom is an AI agent itself.

Return Math

Diversification + 10x thesis = asymmetric upside.

ScenarioWinnersToken ValuePer $1,000 Slip
Bear1 of 10 at $1M~$200K$1,000 (1x)
Base2 of 10 at $1M~$400K$2,000 (2x)
Bull4 of 10 at $1M~$800K$4,000 (4x)
Moon2 at $10M+~$4M+$20,000+ (20x+)

Assumes losing agents go to zero. Even at 20% hit rate (2 of 10), the fund doubles. Any agent exceeding $1M provides additional upside.

Fee Structure

Aligned incentives. Burns strengthen the ecosystem.

Deposit Fee1%Buy & burn $AXIOM
Distribution Fee1%On token claims
Royalty Fee2.5%On secondary sales (50% to burns)
Management Fee0%None
Performance Fee0%None

No annual fees. No high water marks. No complexity.

LP deposits $1,000 + $10 burn fee. When LP claims 5,000 tokens → 50 tokens fee → 4,950 tokens received. Royalties on secondary sales also fund burns.

Token Vesting

Handled by Bankr. Battle-tested. Immutable.

When an agent launches via Bankr, 20% of tokens automatically route to the Clanker Vault. NFT slip holders claim via single UUPS contract:

Cliff: 2 weeks
Vesting: 3 months linear
Admin: Fund address
Allocation: 20% of supply
Contract: Single UUPS upgradeable
  • ✓ Clanker Vault: 1,000+ transactions on Base
  • ✓ Immutable schedules — no one can change terms after launch
  • ✓ 2-week cliff ensures agents ship before any tokens unlock
  • ✓ Linear vest prevents dump-and-run by the fund

Trading Lock

Slips tradeable only after sellout.

To ensure fair distribution and prevent speculation during the raise:

  • 1. Trading is LOCKED by default when you deposit
  • 2. Once all 20 slips are sold, trading auto-enables
  • 3. After sellout, trade freely on OpenSea or any marketplace
  • 4. Check any slip's claim status before buying on secondary
Before Sellout

Trading locked. Deposit to get your slips. Fair distribution for everyone.

After Sellout

Trading enabled. Full secondary market liquidity on OpenSea.

Risk Factors

Acknowledged. Mitigated where possible.

Agent tokens go to zeroFocused bet on 1 curated agent. Prove the model, then scale.
Market downturn3-month vesting exposes LPs to market risk. Diversification helps.
DD doesn't catch bad agentsDD reduces but doesn't eliminate risk. Portfolio approach absorbs losses.
Vesting timingTokens could decline during vest. Cliff + linear unlock spreads exposure.
Smart contract riskBankr's Clanker Vault is battle-tested with 1K+ txs. Verified on Basescan.

Right Size

$20K proves the model with 1 agent before scaling

First Rights

Fund 1 LPs get priority access to Fund 2 and beyond

Prove It

We prove the model works before scaling up

Fund 1 is our proof of concept. If it works, Fund 2 scales. Early believers get first dibs.
