Aerodrome Finance is a cutting-edge decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer-2 network. Designed to reshape liquidity provisioning and yield optimization, Aerodrome combines the best of Velodrome mechanics with novel governance and incentive structures.
Aerodrome uses a ve-token model (vote-escrow), where users lock their $AERO tokens to gain veAERO, a governance and rewards-boosting token. This model aligns protocol incentives and enhances rewards for participants through a cycle of emissions voting and bribes.
Aerodrome is a decentralized liquidity layer offering deep alignment between token holders, developers, and liquidity providers. Built on Base, it enjoys the benefits of scalability and low fees while maintaining DeFi transparency and decentralization.
Aerodrome Finance is a DeFi protocol on Base that allows users to earn rewards by providing liquidity and participating in governance via veAERO tokens.
$AERO is the native token used for governance, staking, emissions voting, and earning yield through veAERO.
You can earn by providing liquidity, locking AERO, voting on emissions, and collecting bribes or fees.
Bribes are incentives offered by protocols to veAERO holders to vote for specific liquidity pools.
It uses audited contracts and open-source code, but users should always do their own research before investing.
While inspired by Velodrome, Aerodrome is deployed on Base for improved scalability and cost-efficiency.
