During the launch of $VVV, internal monitoring systems flagged unusual trading activity within less than 30 minutes, prompting an immediate internal investigation. This swift response underscores Aerodrome’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of its platform and the projects it hosts.

Key Points of the Investigation:
