If you’ve spent any time farming yields on Base, your wallet probably looks like a junk drawer. Random governance tokens from forgotten protocols, dust from liquidity mining, airdrop leftovers you’ll never touch again—it piles up fast. iAero Protocol just launched Token Sweeper to help clean that mess up, and they’re pairing it with a six-month staking rewards program distributing 5% of their LIQ token supply.
Token Sweeper is basically a batch swap tool that lets you convert multiple tokens into USDC or WETH in one shot. It’s a quality-of-life feature more than anything revolutionary, but anyone who’s manually swapped 15 different dust tokens one by one will appreciate not having to do that anymore.

What iAero Actually Does
Before getting into Token Sweeper, it helps to understand what iAero Protocol is. The project offers liquid staking for AERO, the native token of Aerodrome, which is Base’s biggest decentralized exchange. Aerodrome uses a vote-escrowed model—lock your AERO as veAERO, earn voting rewards and bribes, but your capital’s stuck for the lock period.
iAero gives you a way around that. Deposit AERO or veAERO, get liquid iAERO tokens back, and you maintain exposure to the same voting rewards without the lockup. You can unstake whenever you want without penalties. The protocol’s currently paying around 35% APR to iAERO stakers, pulled from Aerodrome voting rewards, bribes, and trading fees. They distribute 88% of revenue to stakers, which is a decent split compared to some protocols that keep most of it for themselves.
Token Sweeper Gets Into the Details
So back to the sweeper tool. It supports nine networks—Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Scroll, and Linea. You select whatever tokens are cluttering your wallet, and it routes through over 100 DEXs via aggregation to find the best execution. There’s automatic spam filtering using blocklists, and you can simulate transactions before pulling the trigger to make sure nothing weird happens.
The protocol takes a 0.05% fee, which is pretty standard for this kind of service. It’s not going to change your life, but if you’ve got $500 worth of random tokens spread across 20 positions, consolidating them into something useful without spending an hour doing manual swaps has real value.
Season 1 Rewards Structure
The staking campaign runs for six months. You earn one point per iAERO staked per day, and at the end, 5% of LIQ’s fully diluted value gets distributed based on how many points you’ve accumulated. There’s a public leaderboard if you’re into that sort of thing.
It’s designed to reward people who stake early and stick around, but new participants can still jump in mid-season and earn their share. Whether that 5% allocation ends up being meaningful depends entirely on what LIQ is worth when the campaign ends, which nobody knows yet.
Does This Matter for Base?
Base has become a legitimate Layer 2 player since Coinbase launched it. Aerodrome handles serious trading volume and generates real fee revenue for veAERO holders. What iAero’s doing is making that yield accessible to smaller users who don’t have the capital to compete with whales in the veAERO game.
The liquid staking angle isn’t new—plenty of protocols do this for other ecosystems. But Base is still building out its DeFi infrastructure, and having tools that make yield farming less painful helps with adoption. Token Sweeper might seem like a minor addition, but these little friction removers add up when you’re trying to keep users engaged instead of chasing them away with clunky UX.
