Aerodrome's core contracts are largely immutable with control of emissions given to veAERO holders via the gauge voting system. There are some minor areas in which privileged parties can control specific areas of the protocol, which are detailed below.

veAERO holders receive growth emissions and trading fees from staked LP positions. There is no protocol treasury - all trading fees are distributed. Offchain brand controlled by Aerodrome Foundation.

AERO token source is publicly available on GitHub and verified on Basescan. Aerodrome protocol contracts are open source and verified.

Distribution of AERO and veAERO voting power outside of the core team has not been independently verified.

US AERODROME trademark is held by Perpetual Cyclist Services LLC (Delaware). Primary interface terms identify the Aerodrome Foundation as the contracting party.
