Aerodrome

The $TAO–$USDC pool on Aerodrome is now eligible to receive AERO emissions, welcoming @opentensor (Bittensor) to the platform. Incentives and emissions are coming online.

Aero has partnered with Sherlock, which has introduced its Audit Engine — a coordinated review combining the strongest available AI security approaches. Sherlock says it spent months building and testing the engine against high-stakes code, describing it as "a new era of AI-native security review." The Aero x Sherlock collaboration was announced with more details to follow.

Aero has published its first batch of core contracts, with more to follow in the coming days and weeks. The code release comes as final audit stages wrap up and a public audit contest nears.

• Aerodrome says Aero's first code release is now complete and its launch is "just on the horizon".
• The contracts were shared for public review ahead of the launch.

Agents can now use Aerodrome without ever touching users' keys, via ready-to-sign transactions. Supported actions include swapping, managing liquidity, and claiming LP rewards. Aerodrome frames this as part of an agentic future for onchain activity.

The $HALO–$VIRTUAL pool on Aerodrome is now eligible for AERO emissions, welcoming @wardenprotocol. Incentives are live.

• Warden is offering $50,000 to traders on the HALO/VIRTUAL pool over a 14-day window (10–24 August), split pro rata between traded volume and net buying.
• Liquidity is locked for 10 years with no team or treasury unlocks.

Vanar ($VANRY) has migrated its protocol-owned liquidity from a competitor to Aerodrome. On Aerodrome, protocols can stake liquidity to earn maximally while contributing to the top pools by volume on Base.

• Aerodrome reports roughly $1.6B in volume, $1.41M in fees, and $286.38M in TVL.
• VANRY is now available to swap and LP on the platform.

Konnex and Aerodrome have announced they are launch partners. $KNX onchain liquidity will live on Base, delivered through the partnership. More details are expected to follow.

The $QUID–$USDC pool on Aerodrome is now eligible to receive AERO emissions, welcoming @squidrouter to the platform. Emissions for the pool are live.

Aerodrome will be present on Arc Mainnet from September 16, standing up critical liquidity infrastructure as part of the network's Day One launch. Arc is an open blockchain network being built for world financial markets, real-time money movement, and agentic economic activity. Its founding validator cohort includes BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, Global Payments, and Mastercard.

Aerodrome is introducing Predictive Allocation, a new onchain primitive that will go live with Aero. Aerodrome and Dromos Labs' @jack_anorak note that the capability is only possible onchain — offering things that can't be done, or can't be done as cheaply, in traditional markets.

• Touted as a way for protocols to "believe in the future, and be rewarded".
• Ships live with the Aero launch.
