Aerodrome Lend Relaunches on Base

Revert Lend support for Aerodrome is live again. Concentrated liquidity providers on Base can once more use their Aerodrome positions as collateral to borrow USDC, while continuing to earn AERO rewards.

A Quick Word on the Relaunch

Shortly after our initial launch in January, an exploit affected the newly deployed Aerodrome vault. We paused the vault within hours, and no user funds were impacted; the affected capital was entirely our own. You can read the full details in our post-mortem.

Rather than patching the original code, we rebuilt the Aerodrome integration from the ground up. The rewritten contracts were put through a public security competition on Cantina, where independent researchers reviewed the code with no high-severity issues identified, and every reported finding has been fixed.

What Changed Under the Hood

The rewrite hardens the invariants that matter most for a lending vault built on staked LP positions:

Vault-enforced collateral integrity. Every execution path that can touch a collateralized position now settles through the vault's health checks. Positions with active debt can no longer be modified in any way that reduces collateral value outside the vault's control, which was the root cause of the January incident.
Validated reward swaps. AERO reward compounding routes through pools validated against on-chain TWAPs with strict price-deviation limits, protecting compounders from manipulation and excessive slippage.

Market Parameters

The vault relaunches with the following market parameters:

Lending asset: USDC
Collateral factors: 85% for USDC, 77.5% for WETH and cbBTC pairs
Global limits: 1M USDC lend cap, 1M USDC debt cap, with 100k USDC daily growth limits
Reserve factor: 10%, with 5% reserve protection

What You Can Do With It

This is the same lending engine that has been running on Revert Lend on Arbitrum, now wired into Aerodrome's gauge system on Base.

Earn lending yield on idle USDC. Deposit USDC into the vault and earn interest paid by borrowers. Rates adjust dynamically with utilization, and lenders can withdraw at any time subject to available liquidity.

Borrow against your LP positions. Deposit an Aerodrome position and stake it into its gauge, and it keeps earning AERO emissions while doubling as collateral. Borrow USDC against it for working capital without closing the position, exiting the pool, or giving up your rewards.

Lever up in one transaction. Borrow, swap, and add liquidity atomically to scale your exposure to a pool without bringing in fresh capital. Unwinding works the same way in reverse: remove liquidity, swap, and repay in a single transaction.

Manage positions without repaying first. Change ranges, withdraw a portion of liquidity, or rebalance directly on a collateralized position. The vault checks loan health on every operation, so you keep full flexibility as long as the loan stays healthy.

Auto-Compounding, Done Properly

Staked Aerodrome positions earn AERO emissions, but emissions left unclaimed do nothing for you. Compounding them by hand means claiming, swapping to the right token ratio for your range, and re-adding liquidity, over and over, with gas and timing working against you.

The Revert autocompounder does the whole loop automatically:

Claims accrued AERO from the gauge
Swaps it into your position's tokens at the ratio your current range actually needs, through TWAP-validated pools with strict slippage protection
Adds the proceeds back as liquidity and restakes, so the new liquidity immediately earns emissions too

The effect compounds in both senses. Your position grows continuously instead of in occasional manual lumps, and on leveraged positions the compounded rewards increase your collateral value, improving loan health over time rather than letting interest erode it.

Analytics for Every Decision

Revert started as an analytics tool, and everything above sits on top of it:

Pool discovery. Compare Aerodrome pools by volume, TVL, emissions, and historical fee and reward APRs to find where liquidity is actually paid.
Position-level performance. Every position gets a full breakdown: fee and reward earnings, PnL versus holding, divergence loss, and APR over time, so you know whether a strategy is really working.
Loan monitoring. Collateral value, debt, and loan health are tracked continuously, so leveraged LPs can see exactly how much headroom they have before acting.

Getting Started
