Aerodrome and Velodrome Merge to Launch Aero Across Seven Blockchains

Aero across seven blockchains — The decentralized finance protocols Aerodrome and Velodrome have officially merged to launch a unified platform called Aero, which will operate across seven major blockchain networks.

The new Aero protocol will be deployed on Ethereum mainnet, Base, Robinhood Chain, Ink, OP Mainnet, Arc, and Arbitrum. This multi-chain strategy aims to significantly expand the protocol’s user base and total value locked by accessing diverse liquidity pools and communities.

The merger consolidates the teams and technology from both projects, which were previously known for their automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity management services. The unified entity is expected to streamline development and create a more powerful, cohesive product suite for decentralized trading.

This launch represents one of the most expansive multi-chain deployments for a major DeFi protocol, positioning Aero to compete directly with other cross-chain liquidity hubs. The move underscores the ongoing trend of protocol consolidation and the strategic importance of a multi-chain presence in the current DeFi landscape.
