Aero is preparing for a launch as a new unified exchange designed to bring together the Aerodrome and Velodrome ecosystems under a single cross-chain platform. The rollout is expected to follow three audit rounds starting this month, then a bug bounty program, before the mainnet goes live.

Aerodrome Finance is a decentralized exchange designed to serve as Base's Layer 2 central liquidity hub.

Aerodrome Finance is a decentralized exchange designed to be the main liquidity hub for Coinbase's Base blockchain. Built on the Velodrome V2 technology stack, it offers advanced features like automated veNFT management, customizable pools, and concentrated liquidity, positioning itself as a sophisticated automated market maker (AMM) platform.

Launched in August 2023, Aerodrome uses its native AERO token to incentivize liquidity on the Base blockchain. Users can lock AERO tokens to receive veAERO tokens, which enable decentralized governance and reward participants with 100% of the fees from the pools they support. This model drives community engagement and boosts liquidity, enhancing the overall trading experience.

Aerodrome offers efficient, low-slippage token swaps by integrating AMM styles from Uniswap V2, Uniswap V3, and Curve. The platform also allows users to create permissionless liquidity pools and staking gauges, fostering a flexible and decentralized liquidity management system. Additionally, veAERO tokens, issued as NFTs, can be traded while retaining governance rights.

To protect voting power, Aerodrome implements anti-dilution rebases, ensuring stable influence for veAERO holders. Its self-optimizing liquidity cycle encourages continuous liquidity provision, attracting more traders and generating higher rewards. This innovative approach creates a dynamic, decentralized trading environment with strong incentives for both traders and liquidity providers.
