iAero Airdrop
About iAero
iAero Protocol is a liquid staking platform built on Base for Aerodrome Finance’s AERO token. It maintains permanently locked veAERO positions in a shared vault while issuing liquid iAERO tokens to depositors. This setup lets users gain maximum veAERO voting rewards and protocol revenue without personally locking tokens for years. Yield comes from Aerodrome voting bribes, DEX trading fees, and protocol-owned liquidity. iAero also offers Token Sweeper, a multi-chain tool for consolidating dust tokens.
Why we choose iAero?
We picked iAero Protocol because it removes the long lock-up requirement of traditional veAERO by pooling deposits into a permanently locked, yield-generating vault while giving users liquid iAERO. The project focuses on real yield generated from bribes, trading fees, and protocol revenue, historically exceeding 35% APR rather than relying on inflationary emissions. Additionally, the launch of Token Sweeper across nine chains highlights a broader product vision beyond liquid staking and enhances its ecosystem relevance.

9. Optionally, claim your staking rewards periodically, mint or buy additional iAERO with those rewards, and restake them to increase your daily point accumulation rate.
10. Remain staked for as long as possible during the 6-month Season 1 to maximize total points and your share of the LIQ airdrop allocation.
