Aerodrome launches new trading hub and expands to Ethereum and Circle’s Arc network

BlockBeats News, November 13, according to The Block, Dromos Labs, the organization behind the Base-based DEX Aerodrome, has announced the launch of a new trading hub called Aero. The new platform will integrate the Aerodrome network and its sister protocol Velodrome, which operates on Optimism, as a base for expansion to other Ethereum chains. The "central liquidity hub" Aero will first expand to the Ethereum mainnet and Circle's Arc blockchain, and is designed for integration across the entire EVM ecosystem.

Aero is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026 and will integrate the AERO and VELO tokens, unifying them into a single AERO token that represents the productive capacity of the Aero decentralized exchange suite. The initial allocation of the new AERO token will reflect the current revenue distribution ratio between the two, with approximately 5.5% allocated to VELO holders and 94.5% to AERO holders, with no dilution and no new token issuance.
