Aerodrome Finance
Aerodrome Finance is a highly advanced decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) operating as the foundational liquidity infrastructure for the Coinbase-incubated Base Layer-2 blockchain. Founded in August 2023, Aerodrome functions as a comprehensive "MetaDEX," inheriting the battle-tested smart contract architecture of Velodrome V2 while pioneering advanced features such as the Slipstream concentrated liquidity module.
