The Edge Podcast Will Aerodrome and Velodrome Dethrone Uniswap?
Alex Cutler and Ace are Core Contributors at Aerodrome and Velodrome.
In this episode, we discuss whether Aerodrome and Velodrome can dethrone Uniswap. Alex and Ace share why these popular ve(3,3) AMMs continue to capture a significant portion of Uniswap’s dominance on Base and Optimism, and how they’ve set the bar for teams championing the anti-VC sentiment with zero fees, no VC backing, and no major team unlocks.
