The initial audits on the all new Aero are complete.
And we're excited to share that @sherlockdefi will be joining @chain_security as an audit partner moving forward.
The second phase of audits begin today and are expected to complete on June 19th. More to come, stay tuned. 🛫
Day 52: imagine @AerodromeFi after the bear market
Top3 DEX on mainnet
TVL $3 Billion
$500 M annual fees -> $AERO between $5.00 to $7.00
Hopefully hyperlane stays safe and handles it...

@0xfluid The exploit was on May 27th.
A lender withdrew $77m of USDC starting on the 28th.
The team posted about high deposit rates for USDC on the 28th.
This exploit was surfaced earlier today (May 31st) and only after that was it disclosed.
Why was it only disclosed now?
$AERO is the #3 DEX by volume, with $13.8B over the last 30 days.
11% market share (+14.2%).
So who's losing market share?
PancakeSwap down 18.3%
Curve down 17.6%
Fluid down 30.1%.
This isn't a rising tide; it's a rotation.
Volume is moving out of established players into @AerodromeFi.
And I don't think CT has caught on yet: Aerodrome is doing 38% of Uniswap's volume at 20% of Uniswap's market cap.
$AERO P/S of 8.5x vs Uniswap's 61.9x. (7x cheaper)
I think the market is still treating Aerodrome like a Base-native niche DEX.
The volume stopped being niche about $10B ago.
$AERO holds the top ETH and BTC pools onchain. Let that sit.
A DEX that launched as a Base-native experiment now owns the deepest blue chip liquidity in crypto.
The 'onchain spot is niche' take aged badly.
$AERO 1M
When I look at this chart
I see the #1 DEX in the world is about to take its place in the top 10 by Market cap over the next 6-10 Months
@AerodromeFi season is coming
I’m bullish #ethereum but I believe there are more productive ways to express bullishness in a portfolio besides just owning $ETH.
Owning the liquidity layer > owning the gas token.
$AERO.
Coming soon to a mainnet near you.
Aerodrome straight up dominating on @base right now.
Numbers don't lie: they’re the #1 revenue DEX onchain again, pushing serious fees back to veAERO holders.
Here are the key things that stood out to me:
- Aero Ignition for $TEA drops soon — voting opens May 28, TGE June 4. Another huge reason to lock aerodrome-finance:native
- already over $1B in volume on $VVV this year, real organic usage kicking in
- they bought back and locked another 302K AERO through the Public Goods Fund — flywheel is spinning hard
Base season is heating up and @AerodromeFi is perfectly positioned.
I’m staying AEROmaxxed for sure.
