aerodrome processed $4b in weekly DEX volume on base. that single protocol powered base to overtake ethereum L1 in weekly DEX volume. the ve(3,3) model finally has the distribution it needed. coinbase funnels 100m+ users directly into base with zero-fee on-ramps and 3.5% USDC yield for coinbase one members. users aren't bridging from ethereum. they're starting on base. aerodrome sits at the center of that liquidity routing. the old argument against L2 DeFi was fragmented liquidity. $4b weekly from one AMM on one L2 kills that argument. ethereum L1 becomes the settlement layer. base becomes the execution layer. aerodrome becomes the liquidity layer for both.
