Current outcome
Aero has completed its twice-delayed merger launch; the previously announced conversion terms of 1:1 for AERO and roughly 0.044 for VELO belong to the same merger process. Post-merger, Aero replaced ve(3,3) with revenue-linked tokenomics, ended weekly voting and fixed emissions, and expanded across seven chains.

Aero Sets Oct. 21 Merger Launch and Token Conversion Terms
Aerodrome and Velodrome have fixed Oct. 21 as the launch date for their merger and published the token conversion terms: AERO converts one-for-one, while VELO converts at roughly 0.044 new AERO per token. Existing locks retain their remaining duration. The terms give holders of two widely used DEX tokens a defined path into a single token, consolidating Aerodrome's Base liquidity hub with Velodrome's Optimism operations. The VELO ratio also sets how much new AERO existing VELO exposure will represent. The VELO conversion rate is stated as approximately 0.044 new AERO per token, while AERO is a one-for-one conversion. Locked positions are not shortened or extended by the merger — they keep their remaining duration.
