According to ChainCatcher news and DL News reports, Aerodrome developer Dromos Labs will launch a new protocol Aero and its Token in the second quarter of 2026, aiming to replace Uniswap as the dominant player in the Ethereum ecosystem.
The new protocol Aero will simplify the cross-blockchain token exchange process and allow traders to perform cross-chain transactions with a single click through built-in bridging technology. Aero will also enhance incentives to attract traders and liquidity providers, by offering additional income sources such as MEV and distributing it to Aero token holders, enabling Aero to provide better prices for crypto traders compared to competitors.
Previously, Dromos Labs CEO Alexander Cutler stated on X that the recently proposed fee switch reform by Uniswap is a huge mistake made by our biggest competitor.
Aerodrome is the largest DEX on Base, and its sister protocol Velodrome is the largest DEX on Optimism. This is the development team's first expansion to the Ethereum mainnet, directly competing with the long-dominant Uniswap.
