BREAKING: Dromos Labs Combines 2 Major L2 DEXs Into One Mega Exchange – Aero!

by

Hold onto your wallets, folks! On November 12, 2025, Dromos Labs dropped a bombshell: Aerodrome and Velodrome are merging into a shiny new DEX called Aero, making liquidity from Base, Optimism, Ethereum, and Circle’s Arc all hang out together like old friends at a bar. 🍸

Aero DEX: Where Trading Gets a Makeover, and Liquidity Gets a Roommate

That’s right, folks, it’s not a fight – it’s a merger! Dromos Labs is slapping Aerodrome and Velodrome together, under one roof, in a move that screams “We’ve had enough of this liquidity split business!” No more picking sides like it’s high school prom. 💃🕺

Here’s the play: governance gets streamlined, incentives get unified, and DeFi access goes from Base to Optimism, Ethereum’s mainnet, AND Circle’s Arc network. Aerodrome and Velodrome have been rocking the boat with over $530 million in total value locked (TVL) and pulling in massive fees like they’re on a money-making vacation. 🤑

Aerodrome is dominating Base with about $457 million in TVL and $180 million in annual fees, while Velodrome is chilling with $56 million and $7 million on the Optimism side. Merging them means less back-and-forth and more liquidity at one convenient stop. So, forget about loyalty cards to different networks – just head to Aero for everything you need. 🛣️

Aero is built on the METADEX03 operating system (fancy, right?), designed to reduce value leakage and make sure the good stuff goes to the people who matter – YOU. 💸 With Slipstream V3, Aero introduces MEV capture directly into swaps, meaning the bots don’t get all the goodies this time. Nope, the arbitrage is staying in-house! 🦸‍♂️

The platform also has big cross-chain plans. Ethereum mainnet? Check! Circle’s Arc? Double check! Plus, the Metaswaps feature allows you to swap tokens from different chains like it’s no big deal. And don’t forget about the token launch system: from free-for-alls to fully regulated pools. Whether you’re a cowboy or a corporate suit, Aero’s got you. 🤠💼

For now, you can still use the old platforms. But soon, Aero’s going to be your new BFF, and Dromos Labs made it crystal clear: the old platforms are going to get the “we’re breaking up” speech as Aero takes center stage. 💔 The new AERO token will be the life of the party, and it’s got 94.5% of the supply heading to Aerodrome users. Velodrome holders get a slice of the pie, but hey, it’s not personal. 🥧

And when’s the big launch? Well, Aero will make its grand entrance in Q2 2026, with Ethereum and Arc getting the VIP treatment first. After that, it’s full throttle with a goal to snag 10-15% of the Layer 2 DEX market. No hype, just hard work. 💪

Social media reactions? Mostly positive! 🎉 Users are excited about the merger, especially for reducing friction and making trades smoother. But, as usual, we’re seeing some classic market volatility. The AERO token is down 19% today, and VELO isn’t exactly dancing either with a 1.3% drop. But hey, it’s crypto – what did you expect? 🤷‍♀️
