Aerodrome Hits Record High $3.026 Billion Volume in Epoch 57

Aerodrome, a well-established decentralized exchange (DEX) and leading project of the Base has achieved a record all-time high (ATH) trading volume in Epoch 57. The total volume of trading reached an impressive level of $3.026 billion, and the most active trading was observed in Slipstream pools, which dominated the market with 92% of all trades. This is a rather crucial milestone for Aerodrome and its community as the protocol increasingly establishes its absolute control over the DeFi arena.

Aerodrome With Record-Breaking Volume

Epoch 57 was marked by the increased trading volumes on the platform, the highest record so far. Of the $3.026 billion, 92% of the total was attributed to Slipstream, which aims to be a concentrated liquidity AMM based on Uniswap V3 which targets the lowest volatility trade pairs while catering to high volume trades. The remaining 8% were from the Basic pool, which may be less volume but helps the platform’s growth.

The increased trading volume establishes Aerodrome as a high-turnover platform in the DeFi environment capable of accommodating huge trading volumes. The constant advancements in platform construction, primarily with Slipstream, have made it a desirable choice for both liquidity providers and traders.

Significant Rewards for Participants

However, besides the record volume, Aerodrome also provided $5.249 million in total rewards for the veAERO voters. These rewards included trading fees and other extra bonuses, which were introduced with the intention of enhancing participation and management of this platform. The veAERO system is a locked voting system that enables users to participate and make decisions on significant areas of the protocol and also share the profits of the platform.

Increased trading volume and high rewards have made Aerodrome attractive in both categories: Liquidity providers and passive income seekers in the DeFi environment.

Growth Across Epochs

The graph of Aerodrome’s volume through epochs rises progressively over time; however, there are large boosts in activity in epochs 42, 49, and most dominantly, epoch 57. Slipstream pools have been instrumental in this growth as traders keep streaming to the platform in search of competitive liquidity incentives and compelling features.

Final word

It can be concluded that users are benefiting from the liquidity of the Slipstream pools. The latest payment of more than $5.2 million in incentives strengthens its position as a highly profitable site for both traders and liquidity suppliers. This is going to be really interesting to see as Aerodrome slowly develops that how much impact it has on decentralized trading.
