In the rapidly expanding galaxy of decentralized finance (DeFi), few platforms shine as brightly as Aerodrome Fi. As the flagship decentralized exchange (DEX) of the Base blockchain, Aerodrome Fi is revolutionizing the way users provide liquidity, earn yields, and trade tokens—all with unprecedented efficiency and community-first governance.
If you’re a DeFi native or a curious explorer navigating the next frontier of finance, Aerodrome Fi isn’t just another protocol—it’s your launchpad to the next evolution of DeFi economics.
Aerodrome Fi is a next-generation decentralized exchange and liquidity hub built natively on Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase. Drawing deep inspiration from Velodrome Finance, Aerodrome is not just a fork, but an upgrade optimized for efficiency, composability, and community incentives.
At its core, Aerodrome enables:
But what really sets Aerodrome apart is its flywheel token economy, which drives user incentives, protocol growth, and cross-project collaboration.
By choosing Base as its home, Aerodrome gains a serious edge. Base offers:
With Coinbase’s backing, Base is poised for mass adoption—and Aerodrome Fi sits at the center of this evolution, becoming the default liquidity engine for the entire Base DeFi ecosystem.
Aerodrome uses the innovative ve(3,3) token model, a system originally designed by Andre Cronje (of Yearn and Solidly fame). Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
This creates a game-theory-driven economy where liquidity, governance, and incentives are aligned. The longer you lock your AERO, the more weight your vote carries—and the more rewards you can generate.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of any DEX. Aerodrome has designed a system that rewards liquidity providers (LPs) and voters in a synergistic loop.
The result? A dynamic liquidity market where projects fight for LP rewards, voters gain lucrative incentives, and the entire ecosystem grows in tandem.
Since its launch, Aerodrome Fi has witnessed explosive growth in both Total Value Locked (TVL) and daily active users. Thanks to Base’s momentum and Coinbase's visibility, Aerodrome was able to bootstrap deep liquidity within weeks of going live.
Highlights include:
Aerodrome isn’t just riding the wave—it’s shaping it.
Aerodrome optimizes swaps by using smart order routing, ensuring users get the best rates with minimal slippage across multiple pairs.
An integrated bribe market allows projects to directly incentivize veAERO holders to vote for their pools—decentralized lobbying at its finest.
Aerodrome is composable with other DeFi protocols—lending platforms, yield optimizers, and DAOs can all plug in to enhance their liquidity strategies.
veAERO holders determine the future of Aerodrome—from emissions schedules to protocol upgrades. This is DeFi governed by its users, not VCs.
In an era of copy-paste forks and yield-farming fads, Aerodrome offers real innovation and sustainable mechanics. It’s not just about short-term incentives—it’s about building a long-lasting financial layer on Base.
Aerodrome embodies the principles of DeFi:
Whether you're a retail user looking to earn passive income or a project seeking deep liquidity, Aerodrome is designed to meet your needs.
Aerodrome’s roadmap is packed with high-impact updates:
As Base expands and DeFi matures, Aerodrome is poised to become the Uniswap + Convex + Curve of Layer 2—but with better scalability and a fairer distribution model.
Whether you're a liquidity provider, a yield farmer, or a DAO strategist, Aerodrome Fi is the runway you’ve been waiting for. With its powerful ve(3,3) engine, thriving Base-native community, and unmatched incentives structure, Aerodrome isn’t just participating in the DeFi revolution—it’s leading it.
