Leading Base DEX Aerodrome Merges Into Aero in Major Overhaul
Dromos Labs has announced a significant overhaul of its decentralized exchange infrastructure with the introduction of Aero, a comprehensive trading system merging existing platforms across its networks. Currently the leading exchange on Base by volume, Aerodrome aims to transition into this new unified platform as it also plans to expand to Ethereum's mainnet in the second quarter of 2026. The goal of Aero is to establish itself as a central liquidity hub for the ecosystem, facilitating faster and cheaper transactions. The upgrade includes METADEX03, a new version of the MetaDEX operating system, designed to enhance efficiency and ensure all protocol revenue benefits users. Notable features include Slipstream V3, which integrates an MEV auction within the AMM to capture value typically appropriated by arbitrage bots. Dromos Labs anticipates that this transition will drive decentralized finance (DeFi) forward, providing more efficient and accessible services for both institutions and retail users transitioning onto the blockchain.
