AerodromeFi has quickly become the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Base network, now accounting for 60% of all DEX activity, according to recent insights shared by David Alexander. With $3 billion in weekly trading volume and a record 27,000 daily active users, the platform is experiencing significant growth.

Daily Users Grow by 270%

David Alexander, former MD of Binance Labs, reported on X that AerodromeFi’s daily active users have jumped 270% in the past month, reaching a new high of 27,000. This surge coincides with a substantial rise in trading volume. AerodromeFi processed $3 billion weekly, nearly three times Uniswap’s $1.1 billion during the same period.

Notably, AerodromeFi’s growth is fueled by its expanding role in the Base ecosystem. It now holds a 60% market share in DEX activity, compared to Uniswap’s 30%.

In addition to user growth, AerodromeFi has seen a sharp increase in total value locked (TVL). Its TVL has surged 95% over the past month to $1.2 billion, representing 43% of the total TVL on the Base network.

Alexander noted that AerodromeFi generated over $20 million in fees in the past month, placing it among the top 10 protocols globally. The platform ranks just behind Jito ($21 million) and Aave ($24 million) in fee generation, reflecting increased user engagement and higher transaction volumes.

Token incentives have been crucial to AerodromeFi’s growth. Since September, over $39 million worth of AERO tokens have been distributed to users, which is expected to drive further trading activity and fees.

AerodromeFi also reported $2.627 million in swap fees during Epoch 57, including $1.8 million in Slipstream fees and $827,000 in v2 fees. Moreover, veAERO voters receive 100% of the rewards generated by the DEX, including swap fees and other incentives. This makes veAERO an attractive governance token for investors looking to capitalize on the platform’s growth.
