Aerodrome Finance announced that it has bought back and locked 1.4 million AERO tokens to further fund its Public Goods Fund (PGF) and Flight School initiatives, continuing its strategy of directing protocol revenues and incentives toward ecosystem development. This buyback-and-lock move removes AERO from circulating supply and channels it into long-term aligned programs rather than short-term emissions or liquidity incentives. According to community commentary citing Aerodrome figures, nearly 190 million AERO has been cumulatively acquired and locked across the PGF, Flight School, and the Relay program to date, highlighting the scale of this ongoing capital allocation model. The Public Goods Fund is Aerodrome’s mechanism for supporting public goods and builders in the Base ecosystem, while Flight School is designed to help new projects bootstrap and integrate with Aerodrome’s ve(3,3) DEX infrastructure. By continuing to buy back and lock AERO into these programs, Aerodrome reinforces governance and voting power in hands aligned with long-term ecosystem growth, while signaling sustained support for builders and liquidity partners using the protocol. This approach positions Aerodrome not only as a trading venue on Base, but as an active capital allocator for protocol-aligned public goods and early-stage projects.
