Aerodrome Finance has made a major impact on Base, the Layer 2 Ethereum network developed by Coinbase, funneling over $1 billion into the platform.

This accounts for more than half of Base’s total value locked (TVL), which stands at $2 billion, solidifying Aerodrome’s position as the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) within Base’s growing DeFi ecosystem.

Aerodrome Makes Strong Progress, Surpassing Other DEX On Base 

Since its launch in September as a fork of Velodrome Finance, Aerodrome has quickly surpassed other decentralized exchanges on Base in terms of TVL, trading volume, and fees generated. In fact, it now outshines even major platforms like Uniswap and Aave in these key metrics, despite still trailing larger players like Uniswap and PancakeSwap when it comes to total volume across all networks.

Aerodrome’s performance highlights the power of strategic planning and community-driven incentives. Last month, the platform recorded an impressive $9.02 billion in on-chain swap volume, showcasing its rapid growth and increasing popularity among DeFi users. While Aerodrome may not yet match the overall scale of some of its larger rivals, it is carving out a significant role on the Base network.

With its strong performance and growing influence within Base’s DeFi landscape, Aerodrome is proving that newer platforms with well-executed strategies can compete with, and in some cases, surpass established giants in the decentralized finance world.
