Velodrome sets October 15 deadline to bridge VELO to OP Mainnet

Velodrome warned that bridges for VELO on Celo, Fraxtal, Soneium, Unichain, Superseed, Metal, Mode, and Lisk will soon be deprecated, and holders must bridge tokens back to OP Mainnet beforehand. The notice says any xVELO not bridged back by October 15 is at risk of being permanently locked.

The move is part of the ongoing wind-down of Velodrome infrastructure ahead of the merged Aero launch, following earlier announcements that the VELO token would cease trading on Binance and the @VelodromeFi account would be deprecated. Holders on the affected chains are being asked to convert xVELO to VELO on OP Mainnet before the deadline.
