Aerodrome has a total locked value of $63.59 million, while Velodrome has $139.73 million, according to DefiLlama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aerodrome is a product of the automated market maker<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> (AMM) and developer Velodrome Finance. It became one of the network's leading initiatives in TVL almost immediately after its late-August launch and Base protocol foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform functions, among other things, by permitting users to deposit liquidity in return for the acquisition of its native token, AERO. It garnered attention earlier in the year when it earned $150 million in a single day, enabling Base to surpass the Solana network with a nearly $400 million TVL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DeFi sector of the cryptocurrency industry has demonstrated a heightened vulnerability to significant financial losses caused by malicious actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on data from Chainalysis, the DeFi sector experienced breaches accounting for more than 80% of the total hacks in the cryptocurrency industry in 2022, resulting in losses exceeding $3 billion. Footprint Analytics data revealed that DeFi constituted 62% of losses during the initial quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
