The Aerodrome X account is currently suspended according to co-founder Wagmi Alexander, after it appears like someone has been trying to gain access to the account, which the team currently has no access to.

Do not interact with it until it's clear that they regain control

Aerodrome Finance, the automated market maker (AMM) protocol on Base, has had its primary Aerodrome X account suspended, according to co‑founder Wagmi Alexander. In a public post, Alexander stated that it appears someone has been attempting to gain access to the project’s X account and that the team currently does not have access or control over it. He warned users not to interact with the Aerodrome X profile until it is clearly confirmed that the team has regained control, implying a potential account compromise scenario rather than a voluntary shutdown. Account suspensions on X can occur when the platform detects suspicious or potentially compromised activity, or when accounts violate platform rules, and access is often restricted until ownership and security are re‑verified. In the context of a DeFi protocol like Aerodrome, loss of control over an official social channel poses heightened risk: a hijacked or impersonated account can be used to share malicious links, fake announcements, or phishing campaigns targeting user funds, a pattern seen in multiple prior Web3 incidents. Alexander’s warning is therefore significant for Aerodrome users and the broader Base ecosystem, as it signals both a security concern around the project’s main communications channel and the need for heightened vigilance around any posts or links purporting to come from Aerodrome on X until the situation is resolved.
