Base is the Collective’s first step towards the Superchain and requires a native liquidity layer to fuel its growth. Aerodrome is a public good for Base (having had no VC funding) that returns 100% of its revenue to the ecosystem. Aerodrome is Base's largest protocol, has already onboarded 20 new protocols to the ecosystem, and has generated over $7.5M in value in 7 weeks. It is designed to support public goods, as 21% of the protocol’s voting power is dedicated to supporting key ecosystem liquidity pairs, with fees created from those pairs used to direct support to public goods on Base. Further, we have improved the developer ecosystem and decentralization by bringing best practices and ensuring 3rd-party development apps function on BASE.
