Autopilot is transitioning to private mode. Over the past months: 🔹 ~50m veAERO managed per epoch 🔹 $2.5m rewards distributed 🔹 1,800 veNFTs optimized per epoch After careful evaluation of the current landscape and where we can create the most impact, we’ve decided to conclude the public operation of Autopilot in its current form. The system will remain fully operational for one final epoch, ending march 25. this will be the last active voting and reward cycle. Important details: 🔹 All user funds remain safu at all times 🔹 Positions are fully controlled by users via the underlying veNFT structure 🔹 Users have 30 days (until april 25) to withdraw through the interface After that, withdrawals can always be executed directly via the contracts or with our assistance if needed. From a technical standpoint, nothing changes in terms of safety or access. The system continues to function as designed through the final epoch and beyond at the contract level. Autopilot has processed significant capital across multiple cohorts, including large veAERO holders, funds, DAOs, and individual participants. The trust placed in the system and in us as operators is something we take seriously. This transition is not driven by limitations, but by focus. We are reallocating our efforts toward areas where we see higher leverage, stronger product-market alignment, and the ability to build at a larger scale. We’re not stepping back from crypto. We’re moving forward with intent. Appreciate everyone who participated, provided feedback, and pushed the system forward with us. More to come, Pilots 🫡 .
