Aerodrome

Aerodrome confirmed that Metaswaps, its cross-chain swap feature, goes live with Aero in two days, pitching "seamless swaps across any connected network" in one app. Metaswaps is one of several features debuting with the unified Aerodrome/Velodrome liquidity layer, which launches October 21 at 8:00 PM EDT (00:00 UTC October 22) across Base, Ethereum Mainnet, OP Mainnet, Arc, Ink, Robinhood Chain, and Arbitrum.

The launch also brings Predictive Allocation, billed as the first prediction-driven capital allocation mechanism, alongside Slipstream V3 with dynamic fees and MEV capture and the AER Engine for reward optimization. Aerodrome says the combined network connects over $63B in global capital — more than 80% of all EVM TVL — with AERO Rewards streamed across all seven chains via Predictive Allocation. Coinbase handles the exchange-side token migration, converting AERO 1:1 and VELO at roughly 0.044 into unified AERO.

Aerodrome's countdown for Aero is down to three days, with Dromos Labs saying "an entirely new primitive arrives" and pitching "the truth-finding power and asymmetric upside of prediction markets, brought to spot markets for the first time," exclusively on the all-new Aerodrome. The mechanism — Predictive Allocation — is billed as the first prediction-driven capital allocation system; team member Alexander (@wagmiAlexander) says it brings "the truth-finding and asymmetric upside of prediction markets to spot markets for the very first time," promoted alongside Aero's "Aero Dynamics" economics post.

The unified Aerodrome/Velodrome liquidity layer launches October 21 at 8:00 PM EDT (00:00 UTC October 22) across Base, Ethereum Mainnet, OP Mainnet, Arc, Ink, Robinhood Chain, and Arbitrum, connecting more than $63B in global capital — over 80% of all EVM TVL — with AERO Rewards streamed across all seven chains via Predictive Allocation.

• Coinbase handles exchange-side token migration, converting AERO 1:1 and VELO at roughly 0.044 into unified AERO, with legacy deposits and withdrawals paused November 2-4.

Aerodrome said Aerodrome and Velodrome currently generate 11% of Ethereum's trading volume while serving only about 11% of its liquidity, and that the upcoming Aero expansion to seven chains opens a market with roughly 9x today's TVL. Published days before launch, the post — also shared in Chinese via @aerochinese — urges traders to "prepare for liftoff."

• Aero merges Aerodrome and Velodrome into one liquidity layer launching October 21 at 8:00 PM EDT (00:00 UTC October 22) across Base, Ethereum Mainnet, OP Mainnet, Arc, Ink, Robinhood Chain, and Arbitrum.
• Aerodrome claims the combined network connects over $63B in global capital, more than 80% of all EVM TVL.

Aerodrome has turned on AERO emissions for 20 Coinbase-issued tokenized stocks on Base, including PayPal, AMD, and Oracle, extending its "Stocks onchain. Powered by Aerodrome" campaign to plug wrapped equities into its Base pool infrastructure. The newly emission-backed pools join earlier tokenized-stock listings such as $AMZNc, $MSFTc, $TSLAc, and $MSTRc, and are in line for rewards directed by veAERO votes.

• Base's Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth) said tokenized stocks logged their first $100 million day in trading volume on Aerodrome, adding the category is "not even fully launched" yet.
• Aerodrome also promoted a Base explainer with Xen on building financial products on tokenized stocks, pitching 24/7 stock trading on Aerodrome alongside managed portfolios on Bitwise, lending against stocks via Aave, and agent-run positions through Bankrbot.

Arcadia Finance says it will support the Aero launch from day one, with its dapp handling everything automatically after the migration goes live. The team stated no advance action is needed from users, in an announcement reposted by Aerodrome's @aeroxyz account.

• The statement positions Arcadia's dapp to accommodate the Aerodrome/Velodrome consolidation into Aero, launching October 21 across seven chains.
• Arcadia is a DeFi lending and margin protocol whose vaults interact with Aerodrome pool infrastructure on Base.

Pulsar is partnering with Aerodrome to leverage its liquidity pools for StableFX and trading execution. The integration gives Pulsar users access to Aerodrome's pool infrastructure for its stablecoin and trading products.

Mellow's automated liquidity management (ALM) solution on Aerodrome and Velodrome — shown as Autopilot in the UI — is winding down ahead of the Aero launch. LPs with deposits in the ALM are advised to withdraw their positions beforehand rather than risk leaving liquidity unmanaged once the service shuts off.

• The wind-down clears out the legacy ALM deployments as Aerodrome and Velodrome consolidate into Aero, the unified liquidity layer launching October 21 across seven chains.
• Mellow ALM had served as the "hands-free" concentrated-liquidity manager for Aerodrome pools, charging a service fee that was locked into a veAERO Relay.

Velodrome has warned that any VELO held on Celo, Fraxtal, Soneium, Unichain, Superseed, Metal, Mode, or Lisk must be bridged back to OP Mainnet, as those bridges will soon be deprecated. Any xVELO not bridged back by October 15 risks being permanently lost, according to the notice reposted by Aerodrome's @aeroxyz account.

• On October 21, Velodrome and Aerodrome are scheduled to upgrade together to form Aero, with launch chains confirmed to include OP Mainnet and Ink.
• The bridge deprecation is part of consolidating the two communities and their liquidity ahead of Aero's debut.

Doppler's $XDP token is now live on Aerodrome, with the $XDP–$USDC pool eligible to receive AERO emissions. Incentives and emissions are live, adding another emission-backed pool to Aerodrome's roster on Base.

• The listing follows recent additions like TRUE and STONKEX as Aerodrome continues expanding its pool lineup.
• Pool eligibility puts XDP in line for emissions directed by veAERO votes.

Stonks Exchange V2 is now live on Base, powered by Aerodrome (@aeroxyz), which reposted the launch announcement. The updated platform lets users launch a coin against Base assets, alongside more stocks, bigger creator fees, an increased $STONKEX flywheel, and fees that can pay any social account.

• The launch follows last week's teaser that V2 was arriving "early this week."
• STONKEX pools on Aerodrome are already eligible for AERO emissions.
