How we make money
Currently, Aurelian Digital operates as an incubator fund, meaning there are no fees and no staking rewards taken by the fund manager. This is part of our commitment to building a strong, trusted track record before transitioning to our long-term model.
In the future, Aurelian Digital will adopt a staking rewards compensation model. Rather than charging management or performance fees, the fund will generate income solely from staking rewards earned by the assets held in the index. This approach ensures our success is directly tied to the success of the assets themselves which fully aligns us with our investors.
What is staking?
Certain digital assets like Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano allow holders to "stake" their tokens, contributing to the security and operation of their respective blockchains. In return, these networks pay out staking rewards, which function similarly to earning interest. In our future structure, Aurelian Digital plans to use these staking rewards to cover operational costs, with any excess rewards representing profit for the fund manager.
