The ZEST-USDC liquidity pool on Aerodrome Finance is now eligible to receive AERO token emissions.​

Key Details:

  • ZEST Protocol has been integrated into Aerodrome's liquidity incentive program
  • The ZEST-USDC trading pair will receive AERO emissions
  • This follows a similar integration pattern, with CHZ joining the platform in April 2026

What This Means: Liquidity providers in the ZEST-USDC pool can now earn AERO tokens as additional rewards, potentially increasing yields for participants.​

Aerodrome serves as Base's central liquidity hub, using a vote-lock governance model where NFT holders vote to distribute emissions.​
