Where should my sAERO go?
?
For the lock size you type, the split that should pay the most over the next 47 hours (one cooldown). Pay per pool = its average fees over the last 4 days + incentives that still run during those 47 hours. It counts your own sAERO diluting each pool, and expects the best-paying pools to draw more sAERO (more when a pool pays far above the market). In backtests of Aero's first days this beat shorter fee windows and "skip falling pools" rules.

"Next 47 h" = the forecast yearly rate for a hold starting now: 4 days of fees plus the incentives still running, after the extra sAERO a well-paying pool tends to draw. "Pays now" = the rate today (last 24 h of fees + incentives). Both are for a small amount; a big lock dilutes small pools, which the split above accounts for. Tap a pool for its history.
Coming up
?
Dated things that change what pools pay: incentive programs ending or starting (certain), the Aero team's usual weekly window for new incentives (a habit, not a promise), and hours when a lot of sAERO comes off its 47-hour cooldown. Freed sAERO often moves into the pools that look best right then, which cuts their pay.

sAERO coming off cooldown each hour (bars) and expected to move (line), millions, next 48 h
New incentives (last 12 hours)
?
Programs that started paying in the last 12 hours. In Aero's first days, entering such a pool in its first hours paid about twice a normal split; the edge halved in about 9 hours and was gone by 12 to 18.

How it works and what has paid
How allocating works
What you earn: the trading fees a pool pays out to allocators, plus any incentives projects stream to them, split by your share of each pool's sAERO. The AERO emissions go to the pool's liquidity providers, not to you. sAERO that is not placed earns nothing.
No epochs. Fees arrive in batches (about every 35 minutes for a typical pool; small pools can go 4+ hours between batches). Incentives stream every second between their start and end and pay whoever is allocated at that moment. Arriving late earns proportionally less.
47-hour cooldown per lock and per network (169,200 seconds, read from the contracts). Your allocation keeps earning after the cooldown ends, until you change it. A new lock's first allocation has no wait.
Up to 20 pools per lock per network, split by percentage. Saving replaces the whole list.
The app's "Stake APR" is the past 48 h of fees plus the next 48 h of incentives, divided by what is already allocated. It ignores your own dilution, so a pool that looks like 4,000% can pay a big lock cents.
Gauge caps limit the AERO a pool's liquidity providers get. They do not change what allocators earn.
Whole market, yearly rate: about 12.4% on Oct 22, falling to 6.9% by Oct 25 as more sAERO was placed. The top 5% of stakes went from 3.3x the average to 1.8x. Old weekly voting averaged 12.5%.
What the best 100k+ stakes did differently: they entered pools before the crowd (median pool size at entry about 0.85M vs 5.7M for the rest), spent most of their time in pools that had started a new incentive in the last 12 hours, held more pools (about 8 vs 4) and avoided AERO pairs. Moving more often did not help by itself.
Pools that paid more than their share: majors (ETH, BTC, stables) 1.13x. AERO pairs paid only 0.80x, and AERO/USDC 0.53x while holding the most sAERO of any pool.
Top pools fade. The best pool fell from about $22 per 10k sAERO a day at launch to about $3.4 two days later.

How this page picks pools
Rank pools on about 4 days of fees, not the last few hours, and add the incentives that still run during your 47 hours. In backtests this beat 6, 12 and 24-hour windows, a "skip falling pools" rule and trend-chasing.
Count your own dilution and the crowd. Your sAERO shrinks every other allocator's share, and pools paying far above the market draw more sAERO during your hold (a square-root fit to launch week).
Spread across several pools (8 for a big lock, 3 for a small one). Pools under the "Smallest pool" setting (100k sAERO by default) are left out: small pools that paid only fees faded to nothing within a day. Set it to 50k in Settings to let in smaller pools, such as one with a new incentive.
New incentive batches are the big lever. Entering in the first hours of a batch paid about twice a normal split; the edge halves after about 9 hours.
Move when your cooldown ends if a fresh split beats staying by a few percent: a split chosen fresh earned about 1.6x one left in place for 47 hours. Under about 3% better, staying is fine.
Watch the crowd. People who moved together move together again 47 hours later. In the big Friday-night wave of launch week, the 5 best-paying pools lost about 80% of their pay per 10k.
Backtests on the first days of data. Past pay is not a promise.
Gotchas
Check that every pool took. Some users' multi-pool allocations failed after signing with only one pool set, and the lock was then stuck on cooldown. Look your wallet up above after you allocate.
Cross-network allocations have failed for some users. The split sticks to Base unless you change the setting.
One multisig holds about half of all sAERO in AERO pairs and majors, and has never moved. If it ever moves, every pool's size changes.
Autopilot pools everyone's stakes into one allocator, which moves on the same 47-hour cooldown, and joining it can queue for up to 47 hours.
