My start in DeFi was finding gaps in data and analysis -- and it's been core to how we work at @dromos
We've been some of the biggest advocates for better tokens and better tooling to evaluate them.
Token holders should come first. Excited to ship this dash soon. 👀
For too long, our industry has sold a lie.
Tokens given to users are costs, but tokens given to teams / investors to subsidize costs are not.
If this industry is going to grow up, tokenholders deserve a more honest accounting.
And if no one else is going to do it... we will.
Our core thesis is that maximum value distribution to users will be the only viable moat of the onchain era.
And that for DEXs, there is no more critical users than those providing the liquidity traders depend on.
While others are leaning out here, we’re leaning in.
Took just a few short hours to build a prototype.
Honestly, feels like the definitive equalizer for tokens.
Still some stuff to fix and incorporate, but what do y’all think of the results? Any surprises?
Should we publish and maintain this?
Aerodrome doesn't just continue to lead the DEX category in holder REVs, but is amongst the best in DeFi.
If this is the power of MetaDEX02 on a single L2 -- buckle up for MetaDEX03 across all of Ethereum. 🛫
Dear Agents and Launchpads - When you lock your liquidity in legacy DEXs, you are at the mercy of their DAOs deciding they’re entitled to ~25% of your fees.
Didn’t we come onchain to escape Apple-like taxes?
Thankfully, Aero Launch fixes this. 🛫
Three years ago, I was heading to Denver as a contributor to a scrappy little DEX on @optimism
No one knew who we were — and we were (fairly) faded by almost everyone we made our case to.
Three years later, I’m on a plane again and we’re on the verge of being… undeniable.
Honestly, blessed that each week the market allows me to vote maximally to accumulate more $AERO.
And each week give the PGF fund the opportunity to buy back and lock more $AERO.
Already, the highest revenue DEX in the market -- with big plans to 4x its TAM in Q2.
Aero will unify @ethereum trading experience.
No more chain switchers, no more bridges, no more worrying about gas — just select a token and swap.
Coming in Q2. 🛫
An incredible write up on what we think will be one of the biggest crypto stories of 2026: Aero’s launch.
The most valuable layer of the onchain economy is up for grabs — and it’s time to shake up the board.
There is simply no other tokens like $AERO:
• 100% of revenue flows to token operators
• Buybacks are on top of this and dynamic
• No team or investor unlocks as overhead
Today, it captures and manages the value created by trading on @base.base.eth In Q2, all @ethereum
More and more, projects are realizing the value of building on top of @aerodrome from day one.
Deeper liquidity, better execution, aligned incentives.
Today, MetaDEXs are the leading infrastructure for Base and the Superchain — in Q2, all Ethereum.
For years, we've been emphatic that MetaDEX economics are the best in their category -- now we have the data to prove it.
MetaDEXs outperform the category leader by:
• ~3x on REVs, despite 1/5 the TAM
• ~2.6x on Emissions / REVs
• ~1.8x on VOLs + FEEs head-to-head
Every additional buyback and lock today by PGF increases the Momentum Funds warchest for Q2.
That means more firepower for buybacks / burns, for mergers and acquisitions, and ofc vamping mainnet.
MetaDEX dominance is simple: why LP for just 100% of fees when you can LP for a token that represents 100% of fees, liquidity payments, + launch payments.
So what do you think happens when the choice on mainnet because 75% of fees vs all the existing REV streams + new ones?
