Aerodrome Adds EMBER Token Pools for AERO Emissions

Aerodrome Finance is developing **Metaswaps**, a new cross-chain swap solution targeting a Q2 launch. The system aims to eliminate the need for dedicated liquidity pools or operator networks. **Key features:** - Reduced swap costs through improved capital efficiency - Support for major stablecoins and frequently bridged assets - Access to the deepest available liquidity pools across chains - Expanded coverage for various token types and swap sizes The approach represents a shift from traditional bridge architectures that require separate liquidity and operators. By tapping into existing deep pools, Metaswaps seeks to offer better pricing and availability for cross-chain transactions. More technical details about the implementation will be shared as the Q2 launch approaches.

Aero is testing its new **Metaswaps** feature this week, aiming to consolidate swapping, bridging, and cross-chain aggregation into a single interface. **Key Features Being Tested:** - Support for multiple stablecoins - Native ETH bridging capabilities - Cross-chain trade execution without dedicated liquidity or operator networks The development builds on Aero's modular architecture, designed to be scalable across EVM chains at zero marginal cost. The protocol emphasizes interoperability through its Metalane technology, which abstracts away Layer 2 fragmentation. **Technical Approach:** - Real-time onchain protocol with no centralized dependencies - Seamless upgradeability without user migration - Plug-and-play composability for builders with RPC access The Metaswaps testing represents a step toward Aero's goal of unifying the EVM experience by simplifying cross-chain operations for users.

USDai has moved its protocol-owned assets to Aerodrome Finance on Base, staking the liquidity to earn emissions. **Key Details:** - Protocol assets now deployed on Aerodrome's AMM - Staked liquidity generates emission rewards - Contributes to top trading pools by volume on Base - Users can swap and provide liquidity for $USDai **Why Aerodrome?** The platform allows protocols to earn rewards on their liquidity while supporting high-volume pools on Base network. This follows a pattern of protocols migrating to Aerodrome to optimize liquidity management and earn additional yield through the platform's incentive system.
