DEBUNKING AERODROME FUD: EMISSIONS ≠ INFLATION

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Token emissions don't automatically cause hyperinflation. Nearly half of all AERO is locked, removing it from circulation and keeping real inflation around 5.6%, comparable to gold. Emissions aren't cash burn, they're equity distribution. Aerodrome generates $185M annualized revenue with zero dollar outflow while veAERO holders earn all protocol income plus rebases. With 49% of supply locked, 60% Base DEX market share, and partners like Coinbase and Circle, Aerodrome is following the blitzscaling playbook used by Amazon and Google to dominate markets.
