New $AERO tokenomics is a blast.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• sAERO means just a new naming of veAERO, so holders lock for a long time as before
TL;DR: It's different naming with the same expected outcome (the majority of tokens will be staked for a long time)
• Prediction allocation: the real innovation. sAERO holders will vote on pools and receive the fees accumulated over time while votes were allocated for the particular pool. It will act as a predictions for future fees and improve efficiency of emissions and votes in real time. The initial re-voting time will be set for 48 hours and reduced further. As a result, much more efficient emissions allocation
• LPs now will decide what they want: receive fees from the pool or $AERO rewards. It means that token will have intrinsic price (as previously) but now market will be more efficient for that. $YB was using this for a while and it works pretty well.
It opens a new market for sAERO votes allocators on top of Aerodrome. It looks like a great design space for AI Agents competing for best strategies on sAERO continious voting.
