The fundamental shift has already begun:

“What do these tokens do, what do they give me?

Do these tokens actually represent a piece of important onchain infrastructure that will grow?”

[Dromos @DromosLabs]

We’ve made some updates to the Net Token Value Flows dashboard, including adding some new tokens.

Welcome to @GMX_IO and @NEARProtocol.

What tokens would you like to see added next?

It’s 2026.

It’s time to rethink the way we evaluate token economics.

veAERO voters = @ethereum node operators.

Node operators provide a service—validating and ensuring the network stays secure & decentralized.

Voters also provide a service—incentivizing the best LPs to ensure the liquidity network stays deep & efficient.

Node operators are compensated by transaction fees & block rewards.

Voters are compensated by transaction fees & protocol incentives.

@Ethereum has minimum viable issuance to ensure validators are properly incentivized to keep the network propagating & secure.

@AerodromeFi has minimum viable emissions to ensure LPs are properly incentivized to keep the liquidity network efficient and productive.

Aerodrome and Ethereum.

2 distinct protocols, cut from the same cloth.

It is more clear than ever that everything that can be tokenized will be -- and sooner than many believed.

Onchain exchanges will benefit tremendously, but spot exchanges have yet to have their Hyperliquid moment.

However, Aero's share just hit a ATH as its big expansion looms.

A better way to trade stocks is incoming.

[Aerodrome @AerodromeFi]

"Last year spot exchanges generated ~$4.5B in fees.

Derivative exchanges:~$3.5B.

Chains themselves: ~$2.5B.

Spot exchanges represent the biggest prize in terms of potential to capture and redistribute value maximally."

#1 DEX 🎖️

Four years in, and Velodrome is still the leading DEX amongst many OP Stack chains like: @optimism Mainnet, @inkonchain, @soneium, @Lisk @fraxfinance, @superseed, @Metal_L2

[Velodrome @VelodromeFi]

Four years providing leading liquidity infrastructure.
Four years distributing value maximally.
Four years growing the pie.

Here's a look back at how far we've come 👇

[Velodrome @VelodromeFi]

Lifetime rewards: $75M+

What if the rate of AERO Rewards was optimized per pool to align with productivity?

That's the AER Engine, going live with Aero.

Competitive in the short term.

Sustainable in the long term.
