In the fast-paced world of decentralized finance (DeFi), staying on top of your investments can feel like a full-time job. That's where tools like Autopilot come in, and now, thanks to a recent update from DefiLlama, it's easier than ever to track its performance. DefiLlama, the go-to platform for transparent DeFi analytics, announced on X that they're now monitoring Autopilot on their Fees & Revenue Dashboard.

Autopilot is essentially an on-chain automation system tailored for holders of veAERO tokens. If you're scratching your head, veAERO stands for vote-escrowed AERO, which comes from Aerodrome Finance—a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Base blockchain. Aerodrome is known for its ve-token model, similar to other DEXs like Velodrome, where users lock up tokens to gain voting power and earn rewards.

What makes Autopilot a game-changer? It takes care of the repetitive tasks that veAERO holders face every epoch (that's a set period, usually a week in these systems). We're talking automatic voting on liquidity pools, claiming earned rewards, and even swapping tokens—all without you lifting a finger. This not only saves time but also helps optimize returns by ensuring you don't miss out on opportunities due to forgetfulness or busy schedules.

Diving into the numbers shared in the announcement, Autopilot currently has a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $10.34 million. TVL is a key metric in DeFi that shows how much capital is committed to the protocol—think of it as a vote of confidence from users. On top of that, the annualized fees sit at $3.46 million, with revenue clocking in at $149,438. These figures highlight Autopilot's growing traction and its ability to generate real economic activity in the ecosystem.

You can check out these metrics yourself on DefiLlama's Autopilot protocol page, where everything is tracked openly and without any ads or biases. This transparency is what makes DefiLlama a staple for blockchain practitioners looking to stay informed.

The announcement didn't go unnoticed in the crypto community. Replies poured in, with one user congratulating the team and another pointing out how the revenue numbers speak for themselves. It's clear that automation tools like this are resonating with DeFi enthusiasts who want efficiency without the hassle.

As meme tokens and DeFi continue to intersect—especially on chains like Base, where fun projects often meet serious tech—tools like Autopilot could pave the way for more accessible participation. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just dipping your toes into blockchain, keeping an eye on these developments can help you level up your strategy.
