Dromos Labs announced that its two decentralized exchanges, Aerodrome and Velodrome, will merge into a single platform called Aero, slated for a Q2 2026 launch. The new DEX will run on the upgraded METADEX03 operating system, adding features like Slipstream V3 and MetaSwaps to cut value leakage and enable cross‑chain trading on Base, Ethereum, and Circle’s Arc. A unified AERO token will replace the existing AERO and VELO tokens for governance and incentives, while the legacy protocols will be phased out. The move builds on Aerodrome’s $475 million TVL on Base and Velodrome’s $39 million TVL on Optimism, aiming to consolidate liquidity and scale across EVM networks.
