Aero Goes Live as Aerodrome and Velodrome Merge Across Seven Chains

The consolidation matters less for the rebrand than for what it does to liquidity and governance: two separate ve-model communities now share one token and one locked-position structure across seven chains. Holders of the legacy VELO token face a fixed conversion into AERO, while existing lockers see their positions relabeled as sAERO — a shift in where voting power and emissions control now sit. Whether the merged base produces deeper liquidity than the two venues did separately, and how former Velodrome loyalists react to the new governance arrangement, is the open question worth watching.
