Index funds, minus the fund company.
Vimen weaves tokenized assets on Robinhood Chain into indexes that trade as one token.
The contract holds the assets. No managers, no admin keys, and redemption is instant & free forever.
Quick update: the Space slides 1 hour. We go live in about 2 hours.
Worth the wait: agentic indexes, how they work, the future of $VIM and the protocol, your questions.
Founders on mic. Same link, updated reminder below.
See you there.

Everyone shipping "AI-managed" money right now is hiding the same secret: nobody, including them, knows exactly why the model did what it did. Vimen decided to go the other way, and it's worth explaining because it's the most important design choice in V2 (agentic indexes).
The Vimen agent is deterministic. Same inputs, same outputs, every time. Its strategy is public and readable line by line: momentum picks the strongest names, a hysteresis buffer stops pointless churn, weight caps stop concentration, a risk-off tilt kicks in when breadth turns negative, and an attention signal built from on-chain swap data decides membership only. No model in the trade loop. No prompt. No vibes.
Why does this matter more than sounding impressive?
Because auditability is the product. You can't audit a black box, you can only audit its cage. We built the cage anyway (the loss bounds, the one-day cooldown, the 25 percent turnover cap, the 99 percent NAV invariant), but with a deterministic strategy you can audit the decisions too. Every rebalance is reproducible by anyone with the same data. "Why did it sell?" always has an answer you can compute yourself.
Because failure modes stay legible. When a model does something weird with money, the postmortem is archaeology. When a rule does something weird, the postmortem is reading the rule. One of these gets fixed by Tuesday.
Because trust compounds from predictability. The fund industry's entire mystique was "trust our judgment." Judgment doesn't compound. Rules that anyone can check, applied in public, on a schedule, do.
Here's the part people miss: this doesn't mean the strategies stay simple forever. The contract constrains what an agent may do, not how it decides. Strategies can get smarter over time, and smarter models can propose weights tomorrow, because the cage doesn't care who's inside it. But we will always be able to tell you, in plain language, what the agent is allowed to do to you at its worst. Today that answer is a number.
The future of managed money isn't a genius in a black box. It's boring rules in an unbreakable cage, improving in public.
Boring is a feature. Boring is the feature.
Reminder for tomorrow's space!
Founders live on mic talking agentic baskets: how the agent works, the loss bounds, the backtests and their limits, wether it's better for RWAs or natives, what's next for the protocol and $VIM. Nothing's off the table, come with your hardest questions.
Set the reminder below.

Prediction: in ten years "who manages your index" will sound as dated as "who operates your elevator."
The answer will be bounded software, the bounds will be public, and people will struggle to explain why it was ever otherwise.
We're just early to the obvious.
Index funds removed the stock picker and ate the world. Agentic indexes on Vimen remove the rebalancing committee, the fund ops team, and the quarterly lag, and they run every day of the year. Same playbook that won the last fifty years, minus even more humans. We know how this movie goes.
Two ways to build an index onchain:
distribute value from trading activity, or custody the assets themselves.
We chose custody, with a manager you can read on top. Contracts and agent runtime fully open source.
Because an index layer should belong to the people who use it, not the people who run it.
We gave an AI control of index funds on Robinhood Chain.
V2 (agentic indexes) is live and the article explains it all.
Sunday we reply to all your questions.
Another live Space with the founders: how the agent works, the loss bounds, the backtests, what's next. Questions open, nothing off the table.
Sunday, 10 AM ET / 4 PM CEST.
Article and reminder below.
Vimen BasketsV2 launches today.
First, what doesn't change: every V1 basket stays exactly as immutable as the day it deployed. No managers, recipes frozen forever. Nothing you hold behaves differently tomorrow. That promise was the founding of this protocol and it doesn't bend.
V2 is a new, optional shelf that makes the opposite trade, in the open: agentic indexes. On-chain agents adjust weights, add and remove assets as markets move, and distribute payouts to holders automatically.
The line we didn't cross: V2 baskets stay fully backed and verifiable, redemption stays free and ungated, and every agent action executes on-chain where you can watch it. The manager is back, but for the first time it works with the blinds open and the exit unlocked.
Curator licenses, updated:
-V1 (immutable indexes): now 10,000 $VIM. Lowered so more of you build.
-V2 (agentic indexes): 25,000 $VIM.
Both burn $VIM, both permanent, both forever out of supply.
Frozen recipe or living one. Your thesis, your pick. Both shelves are open. Docs below.
A month ago this protocol was three baskets and an idea. Today strangers burn tokens for the right to build on it and their products outperform ours. Whatever you think the top of this looks like, we promise you're thinking too small. We are too. That's what permissionless means.
There's a question that instantly sorts every team in crypto: what do they hold?
Most teams hold their own token. That's not alignment, that's payroll. Their upside is the token price, which is a bet on attention, not on the product working. You can pump attention without the product working. Many do. It's practically a genre.
Here's what our balance sheet does instead: it holds the community's work. $500 minted into every founding curator's basket. $5,000 in $MAG7 alongside everyone who minted it. A position in a curator basket because the recipe was good, full stop.
The old wisdom says don't eat your own cooking, someone might see you grimace. We think the opposite. If we won't hold a curator basket, why should anyone? If our own index isn't worth our own deposit, what exactly are we selling? Every dollar the protocol holds in baskets is an answer you can check: same contracts we ask you to trust, same market risk you take, same everything.
And it changes how we build, which is the real point. When the team holds curator baskets, curator success is our literal position, not a marketing line. Incentives write better code than mission statements ever did.
The disclosure that keeps this honest: our deposits are conviction, not advice. Baskets go down. Ours have. The difference between skin in the game and shilling is that skin bleeds in public, and ours is on-chain where you can watch.
What does the team hold? Ask any protocol. Then check.
You can check ours from your phone.
Vimen TVL just crossed $7,500.
Full disclosure, because that's the whole point of this protocol: some of it is ours. We minted $5K of $MAG7 today, $500 into the new curator index RHFI (which is up 26% - congrats on the deploy and great picks!), $1,500 into founding baskets before that.
The rest is early believers and curators.
$7,500 today. A factory shipping new indexes weekly, caps on their way to $500K, and curators we've never met building products that outperform ours.
Screenshot this post. It's the before picture.

Go on the dApp & start creating!
New special indexes drop today. And the shelf gets bigger.
In 6 hours we're shipping a set of indexes unlike anything currently on Vimen, plus a batch of new assets joining the protocol. More ingredients, stranger recipes.
No further details until it's live. Guesses are open.
Closest reply gets bragging rights and a repost.
See you in 6 hours.
AGENTS ($AGNTS): https://t.co/yUiw5u34xD
AMAZOO ($AMZO):
https://t.co/OY2lunxrr8
MARS ($MARS)
https://t.co/ePA9sc9xu4
P.S.: MARS cashtag is wrong and shows a different token, not ours, be careful please.
We just minted $500 each of $AGNTS, $AMZO and $MARS on Vimen.
$1,500 into indexes our curators built.
Holding, not trading. More mints coming.
