The evolution of DEXs has moved from markets that follow capital, to markets that direct capital, to markets that predict where capital needs to be next.
We saved the best part of MetaDEX03 for last.
See you all in Cannes. 🇫🇷

You know the net bridge flow charts from artemis?
We thought the industry needed a version for tokens.
The net value flowing to them and out of them: inclusive of all forms of REVs and emissions.
Still honing things… but getting closer to ready!

Liquidity providers are the lifeblood of any DEX.
We believe they should be rewarded maximally.

Pretty incredible start of 2026 for @aerodrome
Revenue flowing to token operators is ~5x net new $AERO tokens entering circulation each week.
And this economic engine is about to get supercharged with launch of MetaDEX03 and the all new Aero.
Q2 is coming in hot.🛫

Appears the Uni fee switch is live on @base.base.eth + @optimism
That means if you are providing liquidity on any V2 or V3 pools, your fees have just been cut by 16% - 25%.
Migrate your liquidity to @aerodrome and @velodrome today to earn maximally! 🛫

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. 🛫

Everything you think you know about Aero Ignition is wrong — read a detailed breakdown below. 👇
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.

Come feed your agents on pure 100% uncut sugar.
The only fully onchain DEX, fully optimized for AI.
