Most people stare at APR and TVL on Base. Very few are modeling the engine that decides where liquidity actually wants to live. Aerodrome isn’t “just another DEX” – it’s a MetaDEX engine that decides who gets depth, who stays thin, and who never escapes the farm tab. In this new Origins of DeFi episode with @tokenbrice, we break down: How we got from simple AMMs → Curve‑style ve‑tokens → MetaDEXs What Solidly got right (and why it was farmed into the ground) How Velodrome → Aerodrome rewired incentives on Optimism + Base Flight School, relays, Ignition, and why ignoring the design = playing DeFi with the HUD turned off If you farm, trade, or build on Base, this is the stuff you want to understand before the next wave of liquidity rotations. 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3xqXmBSHp0 Curious where you think Aerodrome sits in the next cycle’s DeFi stack – base layer infra or “just another DEX”?

Most people think they lose opportunities because they spotted them late. The truth is harsher: they lose because the market spotted the shift before they did. Access is collapsing as an advantage. Timing is replacing it. And belief is now the first asset class. This week’s Digital Duniya breaks down the part capital markets don’t want to admit 👇

Markets just hit pause — but the wolves didn’t. Trump whispers peace → capital bends. Powell at Jackson Hole → one phrase decides risk. Treasuries flood → stablecoins quietly plug the gap. ETH ETFs keep pulling flows → policy wags markets through crypto. Calm is a lie. Liquidity hunters are already circling. 📩 Full breakdown in today’s Digital Duniya: Markets Just Hit Pause — Wall Street’s Wolves Didn’t https://digitalduniyanewsletter.substack.com/p/wall-street-pause-wolves-circle?r=n4lmj

📊 What happens when you apply the same valuation tools Wall Street uses for Apple and Google… and discover a DeFi protocol trading far below its fair value? We did exactly that. And the results reveal something the market hasn’t priced in yet — one of DeFi’s most important protocols, Aerodrome, may be worth far more than anyone thinks. For years, crypto valuation meant hype cycles, token tickers, and TVL screenshots. But that era is ending. Protocols are now generating real revenue, distributing it to holders, and behaving more like cash-flow businesses than speculative bets. So we set out on an educational exercise — not to predict price, but to understand value — and asked a simple question: 💡 What is Aerodrome actually worth if we value it like a business? Here’s what the numbers say 👇 💸 $196.84 million in real revenue over the past 12 months 📈 100% of it distributed directly to veAERO holders 📊 Growth assumption: 5% annually ⚖️ Risk-adjusted discount rate: 12% 🌍 Terminal growth: 2.5% And the results are hard to ignore: 👉 Base-case fair value: $2.80 per token — significantly above today’s market price 👉 Float-adjusted value: $7.01 per token — showing how locked supply amplifies per-token yield 👉 Bear-case floor: Even in pessimistic scenarios, Aerodrome values above today’s price And here’s the kicker: Aerodrome trades at ~12.8× free cash flow, while mature tech giants like Meta and Google trade at 20–30×. This isn’t a meme. It’s not a bet. It’s a cash-flow engine hiding in plain sight. 📬 Special for October: All new subscribers to Digital Duniya Newsletter this month will receive the full Aerodrome DCF deep-dive report — complete with valuation models, sensitivity grids, and key insights — for free. This isn’t just a report. It’s a blueprint for how to think about DeFi valuation in the next cycle — and the shift from speculation to fundamentals that’s only just beginning.

The next DeFi summer might not start on-chain. It might start on Wall Street — where 64 public companies have quietly doubled their ETH stacks to 3.04M ETH (~$13B) in just 8 months. Not holding.
