+
+# The ai16z Creator Fund
+
+The ai16z Creator Fund is an initiative designed to support and empower developers, creators, and community members who are building the future of autonomous AI agents.
+
+## The Story Behind the Fund
+
+The ai16z Creator Fund was made possible by the generosity of Elijah, a significant holder of ai16z tokens. Elijah has pledged to donate a portion of his holdings, reducing his ownership from 16% to 5%, to establish a dedicated fund that will support promising developers and creators.
+
+The donated funds will be held in a dedicated wallet (`9YnQdCWDAQRfQYm5HvRzoPgc5GRn8fyhsH2eru8nfsxG`) and distributed via Streamflow token vesting contracts. This approach ensures that creators receive a steady stream of ai16z tokens over time as they hit milestones and deliver value to the ecosystem.
+
+## Benefits and Vision
+
+The ai16z Creator Fund aims to:
+
+- Bootstrap and reward an ecosystem of innovative creators building on ai16z
+- Give creators the runway to focus on their work without worrying about short-term token prices
+- Put Elijah's tokens to productive use in growing the ai16z community, rather than through a one-time event
+- Reduce the risk of token dumping by aligning creators' interests with the long-term success of the project
+- Bring more talent and energy into the ai16z ecosystem to drive innovation and adoption
+
+By providing ongoing sponsorship and recognizing creators' efforts, the fund will help cultivate a thriving community of builders who will take ai16z to the next level.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+We are currently working on finalizing the details of the ai16z Creator Fund, including:
+
+- Determining the size of the creator fund and the length of vesting schedules
+- Establishing a transparent creator grant application and selection process
+- Integrating Streamflow to manage token vesting contracts for selected grantees
+- Preparing to announce the first cohort of funded creators and share their exciting projects with the community
+
+Stay tuned for more information on how to apply for grants from the ai16z Creator Fund. In the meantime, creators and developers are encouraged to start brainstorming ideas and preparing their applications.
+
+## A Note on Liquidity
+
+In addition to the Creator Fund, we are also exploring OTC (over-the-counter) deals to onboard new partners and use the funds to lock in more liquidity for the ai16z ecosystem. This approach will help ensure a healthy and sustainable token economy as we continue to grow and evolve.
+
+---
+
+The ai16z Creator Fund represents an exciting opportunity to foster a vibrant community of builders and drive the future of autonomous AI agents. We can't wait to see the innovative projects and contributions that will emerge from this initiative!

+## ai16z FAQ
+
+### What is ai16z and how is it related to Eliza?
+
+**ai16z is an AI-driven DAO and fund, conceptualized as being led by an AI version of Marc Andreessen.** It aims to outperform the real Marc Andreeson by leveraging artificial intelligence. The developers of Eliza created ai16z to support their work in autonomous AI agents. While ai16z primarily focuses on trading, Eliza is a more general-purpose framework that can be used for various applications beyond finance.
+
+### When will token is mintable be fixed?
+Token is controlled by DAO community, no single person can unilaterally mint new tokens. The daos.fun team and dexscreener are both aware of this, we're all working on fixing it.
+
+### Liquidity seems low
+The DAOs.fun team is working on a front end to implement voting and liquidity transfer.
+
+### What is the difference between $ai16z and $degenai?
+
+The $ai16z token is the governance token of the ai16z DAO. Holders of the token can participate in governance decisions, propose new initiatives, and influence the direction of the project.
+
+DegenSpartanAI is another AI agent project created by Shaw. The $degenai token is associated with this project. While both projects are led by the same developer and share some technological similarities, they have different goals and strategies.
+
+ai16z is envisioned as a community-driven, PvE (player versus environment) focused fund, while DegenAI is more of a trading agent with a PvP (player versus player), aggressive approach.
+
+### Will the agent launch pump fund coins?
+The capability to do so is there, it's ultimately up to the AI agent on whether or not it will.
+
+### Can the agent invest in my project?
+Yes, if you make a convincing argument.
+
+### Who runs ai16z?
+ai16z is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) launched on daos.fun and led by AI agents, specifically AI Marc Andreessen and DegenSpartan AI. Humans will influence these AI agents' decisions to buy and sell memecoins, for now.
+
+### Do all trade suggestions happen in one place?
+Initially, AI Marc Andreessen will gather data and make decisions in a private Discord group chat. Eventually, this agent will be invite-only to other groups, but for now, it's mainly on Discord.
+
+### What happens when people copy the GitHub?
+Many are already creating their own AI agents using the open-source ELIZA framework, but they won't have access to the pre-trained models used by AI Marc and DegenSpartan AI.
+
+### What are the future plans for ai16z?
+
+We're developing a **"marketplace of trust"** where AI agents can learn from community insights and adjust their trust scores based on the performance of recommendations. Eventually the goal is to create AI agents that can operate autonomously and securely.
+
+### How can I contribute to ai16z?
+
+There are several ways to contribute to the ai16z project:
+
+-  **Participate in community discussions**: Share your memecoin insights, propose new ideas, and engage with other community members.
+-  **Contribute to the development of the ai16z platform**: https://github.com/orgs/ai16z/projects/1/views/3
+-  **Help build the ai16z ecosystem**: Create applicatoins / tools, resources, and memes. Give feedback, and spread the word
+
+**Other questions:**
+
+- ai16z and a16z are not officially affiliated.
+- ELIZA is an open-source conversational agent framework.
+- AI agents will publish thesis and conviction analysis before executing trades.
+- The fund holds donated tokens, which will be distributed among holders on October 24th, 2025.
+- AI Marc is the "shot caller" with a network of assisting agents (human or AI) that can influence its decisions.
