Dromos Labs to Launch Aero in Q2 2026, Targets Uniswap on Ethereum

Dromos Labs announced plans to launch Aero in Q2 2026, unveiling a protocol designed to simplify cross-chain swaps for traders operating on Ethereum and beyond. By focusing on a smoother multi-chain experience, Aero aims to compete with entrenched automated market makers like Uniswap (UNI) and to capture users seeking easier asset routing and lower friction between chains.

Aero’s standout feature is a mechanism to boost rewards for liquidity providers (AERO token incentives referenced), which the team says will flow directly to LPs instead of being layered through secondary programs. If executed well, this could draw significant liquidity and pressure existing DEX fee and reward models, making governance, security audits, and tokenomics the key items to watch as the 2026 launch approaches.
