$7.5B in fees are generated by services that Aero will integrate day one.
Directing all value captured to $AERO.
No other token has aggregated value streams like this before.
Aero is designed to power all of DeFi.
By linking every market under one token, Aero will operate at a scale no other token has ever reached onchain:
Concentrating the full power of MetaDEX03 to generate, capture, and coordinate value across the onchain economy.
@preegee@AerodromeFi@wagmiAlexander Hey Pree, the interim period has been extended with a constant emission rate to maintain stability in preparation for the launch of Aero (see details below).
Aero will have its own design though! Happy to answer any questions if you'd like to DM me.

Predictive Allocation Stream ✈️
@jack_anorak and @taowatts go live later this week to break down DeFi's newest primitive.
Got questions? Drop them here 👇
made a few printouts to highlight what's coming for
@AerodromeFi@DromosLabs in Q2 2026
in short: top-to-bottom overhaul of the DEX, its token economy, and the market opportunity — oh, and a first-of-its-kind fund that does more than just buybacks
go hang it in your locker
Aero Ignition X Spaces: $SUMR
Join @taowatts this Thursday alongside @summerfinance_ as they talk token utility for $SUMR, launching with Ignition, the state of yield in 2026, and more.
Jan 22nd, 10 AM EST 🕙
Mark your calendars.

Traditional infra can extend trading hours, but it can't solve for T+1/2 friction or eliminate layers of rent-seeking that add cost & latency.
The irony is that crypto solved this years ago: 24/7 trading, instant settlement, global access, no gatekeepers or 'data fees'.
The convergence is inevitable: equities move on-chain, settlement becomes atomic, and the distinction between "crypto" and "traditional" assets fades entirely. Welcome to the 21st century....
The $AERO veToken design will ultimately be recognized as one of the strongest solutions for stakeholder alignment in crypto in the era of regulatory uncertainty.
The core reason is simple. Every major participant in the Aero ecosystem — core developers (Dromos), investors, and Foundation — is economically aligned around the same objective: sustainably directing more value to the token.
The common critique it receives is that weekly emissions can exceed revenue. This is valid in isolation, but it is a solvable design constraint. The Aero launch explicitly addresses it by adding non-dilutive revenue sources (e.g., MEV auctions), expanding into new markets, improving emissions efficiency, and introducing countercyclical capital allocation mechanisms (e.g., buybacks only in key moments).
This architecture represents a genuine innovation that stands on its own and continues to function even in a future where explicit equity rights for tokens become possible, because it solves coordination, capital allocation, and long-term alignment at the protocol level.

2025 is almost over. So, how did we do?
Year-to-date, @base has seen over $400 billion in DEX volume. And Aerodrome:
More than every other DEX on @base combined.
And the best is yet to come 🛫
The liquidity layer creates more value ($5.5b in fees) than even the chain layer (~$3B in fees).
This is not well understood bc exchange tokens have not captured or managed this value.
Aero shows what is possible when they do on a single chain -- soon for all of Ethereum.
