Velodrome Liquidity Engine Joins Mode Network on Superchain
Velodrome Liquidity Engine Joins Mode Network on Superchain
馃敟 Liquidity Boost Incoming
Velodrome, the liquidity engine of the Superchain, has announced its integration with the Mode network. This move allows Velodrome to help bootstrap liquidity for the Mode ecosystem and provide opportunities for new builders. Previously, Velodrome had signaled its evolution from a liquidity marketplace for protocols to one for layers on the Superchain. Mode is the first layer to benefit from Velodrome's liquidity incentives, with more layers expected to follow.
One aspect of Velodrome鈥檚 shift to the Superchain is its evolution from a liquidity marketplace for protocols to one for layers. Every Superchain needs liquidity and Velodrome will be the easiest place to incentivize access to it. Mode is just the start. Tune in next week.
To support Velodrome's growth on Mode, @modenetwork has committed to offering $1M in voting incentives to boost ecosystem rewards. Just like our successful "Tour de OP" program on Optimism, this will make it highly efficient for protocols to deploy and grow on Mode.
