The rules of the road

Aero provides a self-custodied payments app on Avalanche: sending USDC to @usernames, paying bills and people from your balance, and automatically routing idle funds to third-party lending markets to earn yield. Using the app means you accept these terms.

You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction and legally able to use digital asset services where you live. You're responsible for knowing whether that's you — availability varies by region, and some features may be limited during early access.

Your funds are self-custodied: you control the keys. Aero cannot move your money, freeze it, or recover it if you lose your recovery details. Back them up offline, never share them, and double-check every recipient — settled blockchain transactions can't be reversed by anyone, including us.

Yield comes from independent third-party lending markets (such as Benqi and Trader Joe), not from Aero. Rates are variable, set by markets, and can fall — including to zero. Lending involves smart-contract risk: bugs, exploits, and market events can lose funds despite audits and track records.

Aero is not a bank. Balances aren't deposits, aren't insured, and nothing here is investment advice or a guaranteed return. Only keep funds in Aero that you can afford to have exposed to these risks.

Don't use Aero for anything illegal — fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or abuse of other users. Don't probe, spam, or attempt to disrupt the service. We may limit or suspend accounts that violate these terms or applicable law.

Features, rates, routes, and supported regions may change as the product evolves, and the service may occasionally be unavailable during maintenance or network disruptions. We'll communicate major changes in advance where possible.

To the maximum extent the law allows, Aero isn't liable for losses from market movements, third-party protocol failures, network outages, or your own lost keys and mistaken transfers. Our total liability is limited to the fees, if any, you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Write to support@useaero.org and a human will answer. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still stands.
