Where Base
comes to trade.
A community-owned trading and liquidity marketplace built to move the Base economy forward. Find markets, provide liquidity, and help direct incentives—all in one place.
01 — THE PROTOCOL
Liquidity is the
starting point.
Aerodrome Finance is an automated market maker (AMM) and decentralized exchange on Base. It brings token swaps, liquidity provision, and onchain incentive coordination into a single, accessible marketplace. Rather than relying on a central operator to decide which markets deserve attention, Aerodrome gives its community a direct role in supporting the assets and pools that matter to them.
At its core, the protocol connects people who want to trade with people willing to supply liquidity. Traders can exchange supported tokens through pool-based markets, while liquidity providers deposit token pairs and may earn incentives in return. This shared foundation helps projects build deeper markets and gives Base users a place to discover the network’s expanding onchain ecosystem.

02 — HOW IT WORKS
A market that
works together.
Three participants. One reinforcing cycle. Aerodrome’s design coordinates activity across the Base ecosystem through open markets and community-directed incentives.
Supply liquidity
Liquidity providers contribute token pairs to markets. Their participation can support smoother trading and may qualify for pool incentives, subject to protocol rules and market conditions.
Learn about pools ↗Direct incentives
Aerodrome’s voting model lets eligible participants signal which liquidity pools should receive emissions. Builders can engage voters to encourage support for their markets.

For the builders
of what’s next.
Healthy liquidity is a public good for an onchain ecosystem. Aerodrome aims to make that resource easier to coordinate by aligning traders, liquidity providers, token teams, and voters around shared markets. Projects can bring their communities to the table; users can explore new assets; and participants can make informed choices about where they contribute.
DeFi carries real risks. Token prices can change sharply, liquidity can be limited, smart contracts may contain vulnerabilities, and incentives can shift over time. Providing liquidity can expose you to impermanent loss, and voting or staking mechanisms may involve lockups or other conditions. Review current documentation, understand every transaction, and never commit funds you cannot afford to lose.
