AerodromeAero to connect $63B in capital across seven chains on October 21
Aero — the merged 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. Aerodrome says the launch will connect more than $63B in global capital — over 80% of all TVL across the EVM — versus roughly $7B its markets represent today, with full Aero deployments and AERO Rewards streaming across all seven chains, directed by sAERO holders via Predictive Allocation.
- Launch features include Metaswaps cross-chain swaps, Slipstream V3 with dynamic fees and MEV capture, and the AER Engine for reward optimization.
- Coinbase has confirmed it will handle the exchange-side token migration, converting AERO 1:1 and VELO at roughly 0.044 into the new unified AERO token at no cost, with legacy-token deposits and withdrawals paused during the conversion window (November 2-4). Aerodrome's @aeroxyz account relayed the Coinbase Markets announcement.
