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.

Curious where you think Aerodrome sits in the next cycle’s DeFi stack – base layer infra or “just another DEX”?
