Mezo Teams Up with Aerodrome to Bolster Bitcoin Liquidity

Mezo, a decentralized lending protocol built for Bitcoin (BTC), is teaming up with Aerodrome Finance to boost liquidity in the Base network. As part of this collaboration, Mezo will distribute 2.25% of its total token supply to vote-escrow participants on Aerodrome.

The 30-day token emission program aims to sustain trading volume and generate liquidity for the MEZO token and its associated MUSD stablecoin. By integrating with Aerodrome's infrastructure, Mezo targets a sophisticated user demographic that engages with complex yield optimization strategies.

Mezo will allocate the designated tokens directly to active veAERO governance participants, who lock specific assets to direct protocol emissions and trading fees toward designated liquidity pools. This vote-escrow model is similar to one used internally by Mezo, which distributes borrower interest and exchange swap fees to participating Bitcoin lockers.
