Protocol-Level MEV Auction Goes Live, Aerodrome Slipstream V3 Expected to Generate Tens of Millions in Related Revenue

Odaily News: Aerodrome's Slipstream V3 has gone live, introducing protocol-level internal MEV auctions to its concentrated liquidity AMM. The upgrade redistributes value captured by sandwich bots and arbitrageurs to active liquidity providers and sAERO holders, with the protocol expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in related revenue. This version also introduces dynamic fees that automatically increase when market volatility intensifies, and retains Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity design, achieving capital efficiency up to 4,000 times that of traditional AMMs. Aero plans to merge Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single AERO token, and to launch on Ethereum mainnet in Q2 2026. Aero Lite has already launched Slipstream pools on Circle's Arc, and Dromos Labs is developing pool-level fee rebates and KYC options for institutional clients.
