Aero pilots MEV tax on Slipstream V3 pools

Aero, the merged Aerodrome-Velodrome liquidity layer, is piloting an MEV tax on its Slipstream V3 pools on OP Mainnet. The tax scales with the priority fee a trader pays to jump the queue, redirecting value that would otherwise go to block builders to liquidity providers and sAERO holders instead, per Optimism's announcement.

• Aims to capture value normally lost to sandwich bots and arbitrageurs within the protocol itself
• Aero's dynamic-fee Slipstream V3 pools serve as the first testing ground for the new mechanics on OP Mainnet
