Liquidity bootstrapping on Base is evolving,. Aero Ignition is already a proven system. Projects get liquidity, and $AERO holders vote on pools to direct emissions. In exchange, voters get a piece of the token supply as a bribe. It works because it gives a coin a price and deep liquidity from day one. We talked about it here: teapawt.net/lordjorx/status/201426… But Ignition is selective. Not every project makes the cut. This is where @kickoffdotfun comes in. Kickoff acts as an intermediary for smaller startups. Instead of a direct launch on @aeroxyz, they aggregate voting power. Here is how the loop works: > Users delegate their voting power to Kickoff. > Kickoff votes for the most efficient, high-yield pools. > The rewards from those votes are used to build and back the liquidity for new tokens. > These new tokens are then distributed to the voters who delegated their power. It’s a clever way to manufacture liquidity using $AERO’s engine without needing the "official" Ignition stamp. The numbers show real interest: $2.4M in $AERO has already been delegated to Kickoff. Their first launch, a DEX called Lemon on Base, goes live in one hour. If you are looking for asymmetric plays, this is a sector to watch. It’s a new way to bootstrap projects while rewarding the ecosystem's voters.
