Aero DeFi protocol launches across seven chains on October 21
In brief
- Aero launches October 21 across seven networks: Base, Ethereum, Arc, OP Mainnet, Ink, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum
- Unified liquidity layer consolidates Aerodrome Finance and Velodrome Finance
- Seven-chain rollout expected to triple existing market coverage
- AERO and VELODROME tokens surged on announcement
Multi-Chain Rollout Triples Market Coverage
Developed by Dromos Labs, Aero supports onchain and cross-chain swaps, governance-directed liquidity incentives, token-market bootstrapping, and liquidity for stablecoins, tokenized assets, and foreign exchange. The protocol uses a ve(3,3)-style model for governance and liquidity rewards, with MetaRouter, MetaSwaps, and SDK providing cross-chain routing and developer integration.
The seven-chain rollout is expected to roughly triple the market covered by existing Aerodrome and Velodrome deployments. sAERO holders will use Predictive Allocation to direct AERO Rewards across the network and earn a share of exchange revenue.
Ready for Production
Aero Lite is already live on Circle's Arc blockchain. The full launch follows a planned merger of Aerodrome and Velodrome after 10 months of development. Aero's public audit contest has concluded and final fixes are being merged before the full application enters final QA.
Market response was swift. Aerodrome's AERO token jumped about 23% to $0.86 within 24 hours, while Velodrome's VELODROME rallied over 20% to $0.035.
