About Aerodrome Finance
Aerodrome is the main decentralized exchange on Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 network. It launched in 2023 and took its model from the Velodrome protocol on Optimism: a combination of ve-tokenomics and so-called ve(3,3), where the interests of liquidity providers and token holders are linked through voting on emissions.
In practice, locking AERO gets you veAERO and a vote on which pools rewards flow to. In return you collect fees from exactly the pools you voted for — so the incentive is to send liquidity where trading actually happens, not merely where you like.
The project's risk is the same as Jupiter's: a tight bond to one network. Aerodrome grows with Base, and if Base activity fell there is nowhere for it to move.
