The most mysterious of the Base wealth creation events from 2024 was Aero. 2 to 800m in 6 months, eventually to 1.5b. Early on nobody was talking about it on Farcaster though here would be the most obvious place to find alpha about something like that. Feels like everyone missed it but there it was, plain as day, incredibly obvious in retrospect. I wonder if it was more CT people that did well on it. Any early Aero whales here?

day 1 aerodrome user here.   was an early velodrome user as well and vevelo holders received an veaero airdrop of approx 30% of their velo staking.   also received some non-staked aero as well.  now that i remember, i was actually a minute 1 user as i was online for the claim and claimed it immediately.    

Had a few projects that really did well.   was really happy to see aero break out like it did.   i created a number of video tutorials on how to stake, vote, etc early on too.   love the idea of it and UI has just gotten better over the years.

yeah im just jokin. but you're right there never was a ton of interest in it at least on this side of things.

iirc it skyrocketed shortly around the same time as $degen. and a few months after I joined fc.  I created a couple of tutorials on how to use aerodrome for $degen and $tn100x holders. 

those spawned a number of chats and gc talking about it,, but tbh there didn’t seem like a ton of interest in $aero.  

I’ll admit that I’m still bummed that degen doesn’t incentivize any lp’s on aerodrome.  imho it’s a missed opportunity for people to support degen and stack aero
