ya i talk abt work a lot but hear me out. imo our case offers better models: . • how you build and earn as a team (alongside users).• how you define a protocol's success (make, don't take).• how you define stakeholders (expansively). i'm proud of how we're pushing org logic.

btw I hope ppl are noticing. see the amount of margin pickup from incumbents?. slap a frontend/brand on Aero’s pools and Base/Circle rails and beat Wise, which has mkt cap of like $10B. This is an actual business—who’s gonna build this?. we’re gonna do this over and over again.

EURC Advantage €✈️. Onchain currency swaps can deliver better execution than TradFi. Powered by @circle, Aerodrome, and @base, users can instantly swap USDC and EURC with virtually 0 slippage. A 25,000 USDC swap returns 1.5% more EURC than TradFi, on average.

To my knowledge, this is the first example of an ecosystem grants program committing to offering smart contract audits. which is arguably some of the most if not *the* most impactful support a grants program can offer – hence the large allocation to this RFG.

just like velo is a perfect testbed for defi literacy, it is (surprisingly, tbh) an outstanding litmus test of ppl’s basic business sense. if you don’t see how well positioned velo and aero are, study. if you claim to have business insight and you don’t see it, I have questions.

if you squint real hard you can see last cycle’s giants. this isn’t shade—it’s more noting that we’re building on these older standards to make something genuinely different. our goal is for this to be something that lasts. oh, and aerodrome is doing this with no incentives.

Idt they'll be a passive partner, either—the beauty of our model is that when you get involved there's huge benefit you can deliver to other projects (eg those in your portfolio). Huge respect for Base and CV for envisioning the rising tide here - we expect others will follow.

absolute banger of a thread. Of 600k uni pools launched on @base . - only 7.8k (1-2%!!) had at least two liquidity adds (the rest you can dismiss as spam or scams) . - over 120k were deployed by 87 addresses. - several were serial rugs launched from ENS addresses.

Some guidance on Optimism Grants. You need to be able to convincingly communicate:.1. why this team .2. why this much OP .3. why now. Sounds simple, but I've rarely seen an application put in all three . Tell us why this grant will work. Show data.

Yesterday, Velodrome did more volume than GMX. It is the largest protocol on Optimism, hosting more TVL than Uniswap, Curve, Beethoven X, and Kyberswap combined. Indeed, it is now 10th largest DEX in all of DeFi. The "Velodrome Model" is upending the DEX landscape. 👇.

look all I’m saying is that if the Ethereum Foundation is going to do nothing other than dump their ETH they can AT LEAST bridge to @base and use @AerodromeFi where they can access the most liquid, highest-volume marketplace for ETH worldwide. and then they can dump their ETH.

The contributorship to Aerodrome is run by a group of people who built Aerodrome. I get why ppl do this but credentialist nonsense is how you get to institutional rot, misallocation, and FTX-like disasters in an industry moving as fast as this is.

Hope everyone's clear that velo team have strong opinions about retro funding because we believe in it and in the Optimistic Vision. We wouldn't have shown up day 1 and refused to go elsewhere—despite mind-bending incentives to do so from other ecos—if we weren't principles-first.

a few times every week I’m asked “well how will coinbase feel if dex activity increases?”. ppl are forgetting that coinbase WANTS the action to move onchain. worrying about cannibalization of their exchange is missing the whole view - they’re thinking way way bigger.
