Velvet Taps Aerodrome on Base: Sharper Trade Execution and One-Click LP Positions
Better routing through the deepest liquidity on Base, plus Aerodrome LP positions you can enter without ever leaving Velvet
Two things make a trading platform worth using.
Execution that gets you a better price, and access that saves you the hassle of going anywhere else.
Velvet just leveled up on both, on Base, in two ways:
Velvet now routes your trades through the deepest liquidity on Base for sharper execution
Velvet now lets you enter Aerodrome LP positions in one click, without ever leaving the platform
You trade. You earn. You never leave the platform.
The deepest liquidity on Base lives on Aerodrome. Velvet puts it to work for you.
Why This Matters
Aerodrome is the liquidity engine of Base.
It holds more liquidity and generates more volume than the rest of the chain’s venues combined, which makes it the single most important source of pricing and depth on Base.
For a trader, that liquidity is only useful if your platform actually routes through it.
For someone looking to earn, those pools are only worth it if getting in doesn’t mean juggling multiple sites, approvals, and dashboards.
Velvet solves both.
Sharper Execution on Base
When you place a trade on Velvet, our Meta Aggregator scans across liquidity sources to find the best available route.
On Base, that now means tapping into Aerodrome’s deep liquidity.
The result for you:
Tighter pricing
Lower slippage
Deeper liquidity on every Base trade
Better fills, automatically
You don’t change anything about how you trade.
You pick the token you want to sell and the token you want to buy.
Velvet finds the route, now routing through the deepest liquidity on Base.
One-Click Aerodrome LP Positions
Here’s the part that keeps you on Velvet.
You can now enter Aerodrome LP positions directly inside the platform.
Open the Yield tab, browse Aerodrome pools by TVL and APY, and deposit in 1 click.
No bouncing between sites.
No manual pool hunting.
No separate dashboards to track.
Behind the scenes, Velvet bundles the whole process, approval, swap, and entering the position, into a single flow. What would normally be several transactions across multiple interfaces becomes one clean deposit.
You bring the capital.
Velvet handles the steps.
Your liquidity goes to work on Base, and you manage it from the same place you trade.
(Pool APYs move constantly with volume and incentives, so the figures shown in-app are live, not fixed.)
Backed by Deeper Liquidity
The execution edge is possible because the liquidity underneath it is deep.
We recently consolidated our protocol-owned liquidity on Base onto Aerodrome, which means more concentrated depth and a stronger trading environment for everyone routing through Velvet.
Powered by Velvet’s AI and Intent-Based Trading Engine
Velvet is not just another swap interface.
It’s an AI-powered trading infrastructure layer designed to abstract away the complexity of onchain trading.
Users simply specify:
the token they want to sell
the token they want to buy
Velvet handles everything else automatically.
Behind the scenes, our Meta Aggregator routes trades across liquidity pools, DEX aggregators, AMMs, market makers, and the deepest liquidity on Base.
At the same time, Velvet’s AI layer analyzes market activity, wallet behavior, trading signals, and onchain flows to help you move faster and make smarter decisions.
Everything in one place.
Trade, earn, and manage from a single platform.
One Platform, Every Chain
The best trading experience isn’t spread across ten tabs.
It’s execution, yield, and portfolio management in one place, running on the deepest liquidity each chain has to offer.
That’s what Velvet delivers on Base, and it’s the same experience you already get across Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and beyond.
More execution upgrades and more yield opportunities are on the way.
Trade on deeper liquidity.
Earn without the friction.
All on Velvet.
