The iAero Protocol Token Sweeper launched December 4, 2025, giving users a tool to batch-swap accumulated tokens from airdrops, yield farming, and trading activity into USDC or WETH in a single transaction. Alongside the tool's launch, iAero Protocol announced Season 1, a six-month campaign distributing 5% of its LIQ token supply directly to iAERO stakers.
What Token Sweeper Actually Solves
Active crypto users routinely accumulate small, fragmented token balances from airdrops, yield farming rewards, and general trading activity, balances too small individually to be worth manually swapping but that collectively clutter a wallet. Token Sweeper addresses this by letting users batch multiple tokens into USDC or WETH within a single transaction, routing through more than 100 decentralized exchanges via aggregation to optimize execution price.
Built-In Safety Features
The application automatically filters spam tokens using updated blocklists, reducing the risk of accidentally interacting with malicious airdropped tokens designed to trigger wallet-draining approvals. Users can also simulate transactions before execution, letting them verify expected outcomes before committing funds on-chain. The tool supports nine networks: Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Scroll, and Linea, with a protocol fee of 0.05% per swap.
What iAero Protocol Actually Does
iAero Protocol is a liquid staking protocol built on Base that lets users deposit AERO or veAERO tokens and receive liquid iAERO in return. This structure provides liquidity for what would otherwise be locked, vote-escrowed positions, while maintaining exposure to Aerodrome voting rewards, Aerodrome being Base's primary decentralized exchange. Vote-escrowed token models typically require users to lock capital for extended periods to earn yield; iAero's alternative lets users unstake at any time without penalty, trading some yield optimization for flexibility.
How Revenue Gets Distributed
iAero Protocol distributes 88% of its revenue directly to iAERO and LIQ stakers, with that revenue sourced from Aerodrome voting rewards, bribe payments, and trading fees. Reported staking returns run at approximately 35% APR, derived from actual protocol revenue rather than token emissions alone, a structural distinction that matters for assessing whether a yield is sustainable or simply funded by new deposits.
How Season 1's LIQ Distribution Works
Season 1 runs for six months, awarding one point per iAERO staked per day throughout the campaign. At the campaign's conclusion, 5% of LIQ's fully diluted value will be distributed pro-rata based on each participant's accumulated points, with a public leaderboard tracking standings throughout. This point-accumulation structure rewards sustained staking participation over the full period rather than a single large deposit made shortly before the campaign ends.
How iAero Aggregates Smaller Deposits
iAero Protocol pools individual user deposits into a single, collectively managed veAERO position on Aerodrome. This structure lets smaller depositors access voting-reward yields that would typically only be available to large veAERO holders acting alone, functioning similarly to how liquid staking derivatives democratize access to validator-level yields in other ecosystems.
iAero's approach to simplifying fragmented DeFi positions mirrors the same accessibility push seen in GoMining's Simple Earn one-toggle yield feature, both aimed at removing manual complexity from crypto users' portfolio management.

Glossary
- Liquid staking: A mechanism that lets users stake an asset while receiving a tradable token representing their staked position, preserving liquidity.
- Vote-escrowed (ve) token: A locked governance token model that grants voting power and rewards in exchange for committing capital for a fixed period.
- Fully diluted value (FDV): The theoretical total value of a token if its entire maximum supply were circulating at the current price.
