- Documentation and code pointers are available on the official docs & GitHub (see links above); audits and developer resources are listed in the docs.
- 4. What network does Aerodrome run on?

- 5. How do I vote or influence incentives?
- Lock AERO to obtain veAERO and use vote portals in the app to direct incentives to pools you want to support.
