Did you notice Aerodrome' Q1 2026 numbers so far look rough on the surface.

▶Revenue down 77% YoY

▶Volume down 52%

▶$AERO price sitting 83% below ATH

But earnings went from -$24.2M in Q1 2025 to -$1.3M in Q1 2026.

That's a 95% improvement. Not because revenue recovered, but because token incentive expenses collapsed 81% as emissions decayed.

The protocol is approaching breakeven structurally for the first time
With Aero launching Q2 on Ethereum mainnet this is the quarter that decides if that matters.
