Aerodrome touts 7-chain Aero expansion and 9x TVL market

October 17, 2026

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 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.
