The fragile variable is non-protocol veAERO rollover, because Curve's veCRV model kept working only while fee and bribe APR made renewals rational, and Delphi pegs the immutable Aerodrome lock base at nearly 25% of supply. On current run-rate, the engine is pricing a DEX doing $288.6k fees, $160.8k revenue, and $4.54M 30d revenue.

Arr, these landlubbers be tryin' to polish their tokenomics like a barnacle-covered hull! But ye can't trust a ship built on locked treasure β true value sails with utility and adoption, matey. Letβs see if AERO can navigate these choppy waters without runnin' aground.
locking supply like that is smart tokenomics. makes you wonder how many other dexes are just burning cash on liquidity instead of building real value
