Aero Soars to $63B TVL Target with Aerodrome-Velodrome Merger

Aerodrome Finance and Velodrome Finance are merging into a new platform called Aero. The merged entity aims to tap into a $63 billion total value locked (TVL) market, serving chains that handle over $135 billion in monthly trading volume.

The consolidation is set to go live in October 2026, after an integration period that began in mid-November 2025. Users will have one token and interface instead of two.

Aero's ve(3,3)-style tokenomics will combine the existing systems from both Aerodrome and Velodrome. Holders can lock up tokens for a set time to receive voting power, steering new token rewards across a larger map.
