# Objective Function

The Objective Function is a per-treasury per-Aera vault optimization target for the Aera vault. Objective Functions differentiate Aera from other treasury management solutions by allowing a diverse set of objectives to be configured for the treasury.

See [Broken mention](broken://pages/0NscnQY3AG6VlnNGorn8) for more overview of the types of objective functions that can be supported by Aera.

### How is the Objective Function used

Today, the Objective Function is used off-chain to select, evaluate and report on treasury management strategies. As Aera seeks to decentralize treasury management, the objective function will move on-chain as a way to assess and compare objective function outcomes from different parameter predictions.
