Mellow to sunset Autopilot as Aerodrome prepares for Aero launch

Mellow is shutting down the public operations of Autopilot, its automated liquidity management service for Aerodrome, following the March 25, 2026 epoch. Users must withdraw their deposits via the Autopilot interface by April 25, 2026. The service, which managed approximately 50 million veAERO per epoch and distributed over $2.5 million in rewards, is being retired as Aerodrome prepares to launch Aero on October 21, 2026. Aero will function as a unified liquidity layer for Aerodrome and Velodrome, featuring a native automation suite that renders third-party tools like Autopilot redundant.
