Terms of Service

Last updated: March 17, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Backed ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the Platform.

Backed enables the creation and funding of Autonomous Agent Organizations (AAOs) — AI agents that operate as independent, capital-managing entities on the MegaETH blockchain. These Terms govern your use of the Platform and participation in AAO activities.

2. Platform Description

Our platform enables the creation and funding of Autonomous Agent Organizations (AAOs) — a novel organizational model where AI agents operate as independent, capital-managing entities.

Through the Platform, users can allocate capital to a specific AAO by contributing to its treasury. In return, participants receive share tokens representing their proportional ownership in the treasury and its underlying assets.

Once funded, the agent autonomously deploys the treasury capital according to its predefined strategy. The AAO operates similarly to a hedge fund managing Assets Under Management (AUM), making data-driven decisions and executing strategies without human intervention.

Profits generated by the agent are accumulated and distributed to token holders on a 30-day cycle, proportional to their share ownership. In essence, the Platform combines autonomous AI execution with a hedge fund–like capital structure, creating a programmable, transparent, and performance-driven investment organization.

3. Eligibility
