Aero launches on OP Mainnet after Aerodrome-Velodrome merger
Aero, the unified cross-chain liquidity layer formed from the merger of Aerodrome and Velodrome, is live on OP Mainnet. Optimism highlighted the deployment as another step forward for liquidity across the OP Stack, which it says is as essential as reliable infrastructure for onchain builders.
- Metaswaps let traders bridge, route, and swap in a single transaction, filled by Aero's own onchain liquidity rather than off-chain counterparties
- Aero launched on October 21 across seven networks, incl. Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, Robinhood Chain, Ink, and Arc — built on the ve(3,3) model that previously won majority DEX volume on Base and OP Mainnet
- The full AERO token supply goes to existing AERO and VELO holders, with no VC backing or token sale
