We’ll be covering Alphas from the following projects
@aerodromefi @BuildOnBase @SocketDotTech @GravityDAO @ourZORA @BikeProtocol @DogeOfBase @OPambassador @SonneFinance
Let's ride, a 🧵👇🏽
1. @aerodromefi
Last week, I posted about the $AERO airdrop on @BuildOnBase
Yesterday (Aug 4, 2023), Aerodrome released AERO token economics on Base with 405 of Initial supply going as airdrop to $veVELO LOCKERS
Kindly go through the thread below to read my previous thread.

In all the mentions from the distribution criteria, holding at least 1000 $veVELO is the basic and important criterion for the drop. So far, 3500 wallets hold $veVELO and to me honest, that’s huge 🔥
No snapshot has been taken yet.
How to get $veVELO?
Please do well to check this thread.
2. @BuildOnBase Mainnet
Base announced it will be opening for the public on Aug 9, 2023, and users are able to bridge their assets already
