According to Dromos Labs, Aero will merge Aerodrome and Velodrome into a multi-chain hub, targeting faster, cheaper onchain trading and expanded liquidity across Ethereum networks.
Dromos Labs announced Aero, a unified decentralized exchange platform set to merge Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single system, while expanding to Ethereum mainnet in Q2 2026 alongside Circle’s Arc. Aero will focus on Base as its central hub, offering faster and cheaper onchain fees and extending liquidity across multiple chains. Aerodrome remains Base’s leading exchange by volume and fees. Alongside Aero, Dromos Labs introduced METADEX03, featuring dual-engine architecture to reduce value leakage, return all protocol revenue to users, and integrate Slipstream V3, an MEV auction within the AMM to capture arbitrage value for the protocol.
