Aerodrome and Velodrome Merge into Unified Aero Network, Expanding to Ethereum and Arc

Published at 2025-11-13 05:03:39

Dromos Labs, the team behind Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism, has rolled the two protocols into a unified exchange named Aero. The announcement confirms plans to bring the combined AMM to Ethereum mainnet and Circle’s Arc, signaling a push beyond L2 ecosystems to a broader, potentially more regulated audience.

The merger is designed to concentrate liquidity and simplify trading across previously separate pools, which could boost capital efficiency and user depth for AERO and VELO communities. For traders and liquidity providers, expansion to Ethereum and Arc means wider access and potential on‑ramps for institutional flows. The team says further details on token mechanics, incentives and rollout timing will be released in upcoming updates, so holders should watch official channels for migration and governance information.
