$AERO tokenomics explained in 10 minutes. 🧵
@aeroxyz is the main exchange on Base, and it is in the middle of merging with Velodrome into one protocol called Aero. Traders paid it $133.2M in fees over the last twelve months.
Every dollar of the $95.8M it kept went to token holders.
It works only if you lock your tokens for up to four years.
If you don't, you get nothing and you're diluted about 10% a year.
This is super cool. Real shares, held 1:1 by a regulated custodian, owned outright by whoever holds the token.
Also, $AERO selected by @coinbase as their exclusive decentralized exchange partner.
This is how the world moves onchain.
looking at AERO because the valuation still doesn’t make much sense to me next to UNI.
$AERO market cap: ~$680m
$UNI market cap: ~$5.7b
UNI is worth more than 8x as much.
last 12 months:
Aerodrome fees: ~$132m
Uniswap fees: ~$961m
holder/protocol revenue:
AERO: ~$94m
UNI: ~$69m
so AERO generated more revenue for holders over the last year while trading at a fraction of UNI valuation. wow.
more trading, more fees
more fees, more revenue for veAERO
more demand for liquidity, more competition for votes
that the current valuation gap is wide
that’s why @koolkrypto223 thesis long aero short uni is really interesting
but personally I prefer to just accumulate my AERO spot
