Liquidity, coordinated
Aerodrome is designed to bring liquidity and governance together. Users can provide liquidity to markets, while veAERO voters help direct emissions toward the pools they believe matter.
THE LIQUIDITY HUB OF BASE
Liquidity
takes flight.
A decentralized exchange where liquidity, incentives, and community governance converge to move the Base ecosystem forward.
A community-driven protocol on Base. Not investment advice.

01 — A NEW KIND OF EXCHANGE
Where markets
meet momentum.
Aerodrome Finance is a decentralized exchange and liquidity marketplace built on Base. It combines token swaps with a system designed to reward the people who help make markets deep and useful.
Rather than relying on a central operator to decide where liquidity goes, Aerodrome uses community governance and protocol incentives to coordinate participation. The result is a venue intended to serve traders looking for efficient markets, liquidity providers seeking fees and incentives, and builders growing on Base.

02 — THE MECHANICS
Three forces.
One flywheel.
Participation flows through a connected system. Understanding the pieces is the first step to understanding the protocol.
◉
A market for incentives
Protocols can use AERO incentives to attract liquidity to their markets. This creates a marketplace where liquidity providers, voters, and builders each have a meaningful role.
⌁
Built for Base
As Base’s central liquidity venue, Aerodrome benefits from the network’s low-cost transactions and growing ecosystem. Always verify network details before interacting.
03 — HOW PEOPLE PARTICIPATE
Choose your
altitude.
Traders can swap supported assets through the exchange. Liquidity providers can deposit eligible tokens into pools, helping facilitate trades and potentially earning a share of trading fees and protocol incentives. Those rewards vary by market and can change over time.
AERO holders may choose to lock tokens in exchange for voting power represented by veAERO. Voters can direct emissions toward liquidity pools, aligning incentives with the markets they want to support. Locking involves trade-offs: tokens may be inaccessible for a chosen duration, and governance outcomes are never guaranteed.
Protocols can participate by building on Base, supporting their markets, and engaging with the voter ecosystem. Each path is optional, and none is a promise of profit.

04 — BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF
Stay curious.
Stay in control.
Decentralized finance carries significant risks. Token prices can change sharply, smart contracts may contain vulnerabilities, and liquidity can be limited or withdrawn. Incentive rates are variable and do not represent guaranteed returns. Transactions may be irreversible, and interacting with an incorrect address or malicious site can result in permanent loss.
