Top Base DEX Aerodrome launches upgrade suite, expands to Ethereum and Circle’s Arc
Aerodrome's parent company, Dromos Labs, launched Aero, a new hub unifying Aerodrome and Velodrome, expanding to Ethereum mainnet and Arc.Summary
Dromos Labs, the organization behind the Base DEX Aerodrome, has launched Aero, a new central liquidity hub designed to unify Aerodrome and its sister protocol, Velodrome on Optimism, while also serving as a base for expansion across other Ethereum chains.
Aero will initially expand to the Ethereum mainnet and Circle’s Arc blockchain, with an expected launch in Q2 2026. It will unify the AERO and VERO tokens under a single AERO token, which represents a claim on the productive capacity of Aero's DEX suite, with initial distribution mirroring current revenue splits between Aerodrome and Velodrome.
This launch coincides with the introduction of MetaDEX 03, an upgrade suite featuring a dual engine model (AER and REV) intended to internalize revenue streams and reduce value leakage. Aerodrome, already the largest DEX on Base, will also integrate Slipstream V3 to capture MEV auction revenue and introduce "verified pools" for compliant institutional interaction.
