Aero Launches on Seven Chains as Aerodrome and Velodrome Merge

Aerodrome (Base) and Velodrome (OP Mainnet) merged on 21 October 2026 into Aero, a multi-chain spot exchange launching across seven networks, built on the MetaDEX03 system from Dromos Labs. No venture capital or token sale accompanies the launch; AERO and VELO holders upgrade to the new AERO token, split 94.5% to Aerodrome's community and 5.5% to Velodrome based on 52 weeks of revenue share. Aerodrome held 58% of Base DEX volume and Velodrome 60% of OP Mainnet volume in Q3 2026, and Aerodrome's share of tokenised-stock trading rose from under 3% to 57% between early September and 10 October.
