Aerodrome Finance

24h change: -6.44%. From $0.845 to $0.7905.

• The merged Aero protocol combining Aerodrome and Velodrome will deploy simultaneously on Base, Ethereum mainnet, OP mainnet, Arc, Ink, Arbitrum, and Robinhood Chain. It introduces cross-chain metaswaps for seamless trading, predictive allocation where sAERO holders direct incentives in a mechanism resembling prediction markets for liquidity needs, permissionless market creation, and full distribution of exchange revenue to stakers. The expansion aims to materially grow the protocol's share of EVM spot trading volume from current levels around 17 percent. Audits are complete, the application is in final QA, and the launch follows months of development since the initial merger announcement.
• Users can register for founding status to receive an additional allocation of existing AERO on Base, separate from standard rewards. Registration requires one account action with no purchase, deposit, trade, or social tasks needed and closes October 12. Claims for the allocation open October 16. This runs parallel to the main token migration process for legacy AERO and VELO tokens, with Coinbase providing conversion support in early November. The initiative aims to onboard traders, liquidity providers, and token issuers to the new Aero ecosystem from day one.
• Combined Aerodrome and Velodrome metrics show hundreds of billions in cumulative volume and hundreds of millions in lifetime revenue. The ve(3,3) model creates a cycle where liquidity provider rewards lead to deeper liquidity, better execution, higher volumes, increased revenue, and more votes for emissions. Approximately half the token supply is locked for extended periods. These fundamentals position the protocol ahead of the Aero expansion into a much larger addressable market exceeding $60 billion in TVL across the targeted chains.

24h change: +3.03%. From $0.7797 to $0.8033.

• Aerodrome and Velodrome are merging into Aero, a unified liquidity layer for EVM spot trading. The platform will deploy simultaneously on Base, Ethereum mainnet, OP mainnet, Arc, Ink, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain on October 21. New features include cross-chain metaswaps, permissionless market creation, predictive allocation directed by sAERO holders, and 100 percent of exchange revenue shared with stakers. The expansion is expected to materially increase the protocol's addressable market and share of EVM trading volume.
• Coinbase announced support for the conversion of legacy Aerodrome (AERO) and Velodrome (VELO) tokens to the new unified AERO token. The migration window is November 2 to 4, 2026, during which deposits and withdrawals of old tokens will pause. AERO converts 1:1 while VELO converts at approximately 0.044 new AERO per VELO, with Aerodrome holders receiving about 94.5 percent of the new supply based on prior revenue. No fees will be charged for the automatic conversion.
• Aerodrome has seen substantial volume in Coinbase tokenized stocks, exceeding $1.5 billion and repeatedly breaking all-time highs. Aero Lite on Arc has outperformed other DEXs in fees on key pools despite lower TVL. September delivered over $15 million in rewards to veAERO voters. These metrics demonstrate continued dominance on Base and effective flywheel mechanics ahead of the broader Aero rollout.

24h change: +0.09%. From $0.7782 to $0.7788.

• Aerodrome Finance and Velodrome Finance are merging into a single protocol called Aero. The launch will deploy across seven EVM chains: Base, Ethereum mainnet, OP Mainnet, Arc, Ink, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain. All chains will receive full deployments with AERO rewards available network-wide. The move is expected to expand the addressable liquidity market from roughly $7 billion to over $63 billion in TVL.
• Coinbase will convert users' Aerodrome (AERO) and Velodrome (VELO) holdings into the new unified AERO token at no cost. The migration window is November 2 to 4, 2026, during which deposits and withdrawals of legacy tokens will pause. AERO holders will receive 1:1 while VELO converts at approximately 0.044 new AERO per VELO, with Aerodrome holders receiving about 94.5 percent of the new supply.
• Aerodrome continues to dominate spot trading volume on Base, recently processing hundreds of millions in daily swaps. The protocol has generated substantial lifetime fees returned in part to AERO lockers. This on-chain activity coincides with the lead-up to the Aero launch and token migration. Sustained volume supports the utility of the AERO token in governance and revenue sharing.

24h change: -2.71%. From $0.8323 to $0.8098.

• The merger of Aerodrome Finance and Velodrome into the unified Aero protocol is scheduled to go live on October 21, 2026. Day-one support includes Base, Ethereum Mainnet, OP Mainnet, Arc, Ink, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain. Audits are complete, the application is in final QA, and new features like Predictive Allocation have been integrated. This expansion aims to make Aero the central liquidity hub for a larger share of EVM spot trading volume.
• The September 25 announcement of the Aero launch date and expanded chain list triggered a roughly 25 percent price increase for AERO in the following days along with sharply higher trading volume. The unified protocol combines liquidity from Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single AERO token and governance system. This news reinforced community focus on the October 21 launch and upcoming economic upgrades.
• Combined Aerodrome and Velodrome metrics show over $479 billion in cumulative volume and $572 million in lifetime revenue. TVL stands near $378 million with daily volumes frequently in the hundreds of millions of dollars, primarily on Base. Roughly 50 percent of the combined token supply remains locked with an average duration of nearly four years. These fundamentals continue to support the ecosystem as the Aero transition approaches.

24h change: -5.90%. From $0.8839 to $0.8317.

• Aerodrome Finance and Velodrome Finance are merging into a single protocol called Aero that will deploy across seven EVM-compatible chains on October 21, 2026. The day-one networks include Base, Ethereum mainnet, OP mainnet, Arc, Ink, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain. The launch is expected to roughly triple the current 17 percent share of EVM spot trading volume that the two protocols already capture. New features such as Predictive Allocation will let staked AERO holders direct incentives toward pools they anticipate will see demand. All chains will receive full deployments with AERO rewards governed by sAERO holders.
