**Aerodrome** is Base's dominant native DEX/liquidity hub, running a Velodrome-derived ve(3,3) model (AERO emissions + veAERO vote-locking). Per DefiLlama data [[sql_fa0265]], Aerodrome carries ~$308M TVL and ~$11.2B in 30d DEX volume — commanding roughly **49% of all Base DEX volume** and **39% of Base DEX TVL** among 178 tracked DEX sub-protocols on the chain [[code_56fc73]]. Recent coverage [[websearch_d27ac9]] (unverified vs. our figures) claims 50-65% BTC-trading share on Base and cites AERO buybacks via its Public Goods Fund — treat specifics as unconfirmed until cross-checked.

| Protocol | TVL | 30d Fees | 30d Revenue | P/S | P/F | 30d Volume Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aerodrome | $308.2M | $6.1M | $4.2M | 8.7x | 5.97x | -32.9% |
| Uniswap | $3.06B | $89.6M | $3.3M | 61.1x | 2.22x | +12.0% |
| PancakeSwap | $2.07B | $5.96M | $2.08M | 18.1x | 6.30x | -30.5% |
| Velodrome | $34.7M | $0.28M | $0.28M | 6.75x | 6.75x | -18.9% |

Source: DefiLlama [[sql_fa0265]]. Aerodrome trades at a far lower P/S than Uniswap despite dominating its home chain — Uniswap's high P/S reflects broad multi-chain mindshare vs. Aerodrome's Base-concentrated but highly monetized model (P/F near PancakeSwap's level). All four DEXs saw 30d volume declines except Uniswap.

Aerodrome's moat is Base itself — it captures roughly half of all decentralized exchange volume on the chain [[code_56fc73]]. The charts below rank the top Base-native and multi-chain DEXs deployed there (Uniswap v3/v4, PancakeSwap, Curve, and long-tail challengers).

Aerodrome's revenue efficiency (fees-to-revenue) and multiples relative to TVL are core to the ve(3,3) thesis — protocol fees flow largely to veAERO lockers rather than being retained. Below: Aerodrome's own P/S, P/F trend and full income statement.

**Bottom line:** Aerodrome is the clear liquidity kingpin on Base with ~49% DEX volume share [[code_56fc73]], but its ve(3,3) emissions model ties growth to continued AERO incentive spend, and 30d volume is down ~33% alongside a broader Base DEX slowdown (Uniswap and PancakeSwap deployments on Base also fell 24-36% [[sql_39ee56]]) — check whether this reflects a sector-wide pullback or Aerodrome-specific share loss before drawing conclusions.
