INSIGHT

Why Aerodrome's Tokenomics Worked

  • Aerodrome's ve-style model aligns traders, LPs, and operators by returning revenue and incentives to participants.

ADVICE

Use Programmatic Buybacks And Long Locks

  • Use buybacks plus long locks to permanently remove supply and boost locked token stakes.
  • Aerodrome routes ~30% of revenue into buybacks that auto-lock as 4-year ve positions to increase scarcity.

Coinbase Integration Multiplies Base Demand
