According to @jessepollak, if a centralized exchange asks for 9% of a token’s supply to list, teams should instead list permissionlessly on AerodromeFi and Coinbase for free.

According to @PolynomialFi, the AERO governance and utility token from AerodromeFi, which serves as Base's central liquidity engine, is now available for trading on Polynomial, with price feeds powered by Pyth Network (source: @PolynomialFi, June 20, 2025). This listing introduces new trading opportunities for AERO, increases liquidity on the Base chain, and enhances access to DeFi markets. Traders should monitor AERO’s price action as it may affect Base ecosystem tokens and DeFi sector trading volumes.

According to Milk Road, 90% of all onchain trading volume is concentrated in just 6 decentralized exchanges (DEXs). PancakeSwap leads on BNB Chain, Uniswap dominates Ethereum, and AerodromeFi is the top DEX on Base. On Solana, RaydiumProtocol holds 14% of the market share, with MeteoraAG and Orca each capturing 7%.
