Aero is designed to unlock and price the full value of liquidity, well beyond trading fees. This is a great read on how it achieves that.
For an exchange to win, it must pay liquidity providers more

I don't think most LPs have caught on yet -- but, those who have absolutely ate on @aeroxyz yesterday. 100% of Smart Fees > 75% of basic fees.
Aero vs. Uniswap – almost 24 hours into my little LP experiment! ​ Two LP NFTs on Base. Same WETH/USDC pair, around $10 each, nearly identical ±5% price ranges. ​ And things got pretty wild!🔥 ​ At one point, fee APRs were flirting with 600%! Of course, that's just a short period annualized, not actual yearly earnings. ​ Here's the real picture from Revert Finance: ​ 🦄 Uniswap v3: 239% fee APR ​ 🛫 Aero: 323% fee APR ​ Pure trading fees. No AERO emissions or extra incentives. ​ Honestly, both positions are behaving pretty similarly! ​ Aero has a slight edge so far, but one day tells us very little. Both positions are still slightly underwater despite earning fees. ​ And that's the fun of LPing. You're running a little trading business, managing inventory, collecting fees and watching the market move through your range. ​ I'd love to repeat this with wider ranges, maybe ±10-15+%, and track everything for weeks or even months. ​ That's when the real differences might start showing up. ​ For now, just enjoying the experiment and sharing the numbers as they come in. 🏄‍♂️

The Momentum Fund takes a unique approach to buybacks with rules-based capital allocation. Rather than buying indiscriminately, it deploys rewards earned from sAERO to accumulate $AERO when prices are attractive relative to recent history, and holds off when they're not. More disciplined buybacks. Better capital efficiency.

Aero ate onchain FX. Aero ate onchain BTC. And now, onchain stocks? If that is what Aero can do while operating on one network, imagine what it can do across seven.
Yesterday, Aerodrome generated more tokenized stocks volume than every other DEX across the EVM combined. And in 10 days, we grow the pie 🛫

The Momentum Fund brings the Public Goods Fund and Flight School together under one program. Its job is to make the $AERO economy stronger. Grow: boost liquidity pools that grow the economy. Stabilize: buy back $AERO when it matters most. Align: give builders a shared stake in the network.

One DEX to rule them all, One token to align them, One router to guide them all, and through cross-chain rails bind them.
Aero is coming. In anticipation of the launch, the AerodromeFi account is now @aeroxyz. The unified liquidity layer for Ethereum will be here soon. Get on board.

"The thesis behind Aero is that it will also be able to dominate on Ethereum mainnet, which in TVL terms, represents a ~10x increase in the total addressable market." - @taowatts

“We are absolute believers in decentralized systems. We believe they are the future.” Luis de la Cerda (@taowatts), Executive Director of @aeroxyz and @VelodromeFi Foundations, says #DeFi does not need a total reset, but it does need to keep improving — especially around usability, liquidity efficiency, and institutional access. He also argues that decentralized exchanges may play a critical role in the AI-agent economy, where autonomous systems transact, allocate capital, and use open financial infrastructure directly on-chain. “I believe that in five years, agents are going to be more active on-chain than they will be on any other platform.” Watch the full interview ⬇️ 📺

made a few printouts to highlight what's coming for @aeroxyz @DromosLabs in Q2 2026 in short: top-to-bottom overhaul of the DEX, its token economy, and the market opportunity — oh, and a first-of-its-kind fund that does more than just buybacks go hang it in your locker
