- Dromos Labs is launching Aero, a new unified decentralized exchange (DEX) system that integrates its current platforms on Base and Optimism networks.
- Aero will expand liquidity and trading capabilities across multiple Ethereum chains, with plans to extend to Ethereum mainnet and Circle’s Arc by mid-2026.
- The upgrade includes METADEX03, a new operating system with a dual-engine architecture and a built-in MEV auction feature called Slipstream V3.
- Aero aims to offer faster and cheaper on-chain trading while returning all protocol revenue to users.
Dromos Labs, the developer behind the decentralized exchanges Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism, announced on Wednesday the launch of Aero, a consolidated trading system that will merge its existing platforms and extend to other Ethereum networks. The update aims to enhance trading efficiency and expand usability across multiple chains.
Currently, Aerodrome is the most traded DEX on the Base Network based on volume and fees. The new Aero platform will center its activity on Base but will launch on Ethereum mainnet and Circle’s Arc network by the second quarter of 2026. This expansion seeks to make Aero a significant liquidity hub within the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Aero promises quicker transactions and reduced fees on the blockchain, with a focus on connecting liquidity across different chains. Alexander Cutler, CEO of Dromos Labs, described Aero as leading a shift towards a financial system that is better, faster, and less costly than traditional alternatives, as mentioned.
Alongside Aero, the company introduced METADEX03, the newest version of its MetaDEX operating system. This upgrade features a dual-engine architecture designed to prevent value leakage and ensure all protocol revenue is redirected to users. A key component of METADEX03 is Slipstream V3, which integrates a Maximally Extractable Value (MEV) auction directly into the automated market maker (AMM). MEV auctions enable the protocol to capture value typically acquired by arbitrage bots, increasing overall efficiency.
By launching Aero and METADEX03, Dromos Labs intends to advance DeFi infrastructure, making it more efficient and accessible as both retail and institutional users increasingly adopt on-chain financial services.
