# Aerodrome Finance

> Aerodrome is the central trading and liquidity marketplace on the Base network — a next-generation MetaDEX (AMM inspired by Solidly / Velodrome) that combines a vote-escrow (ve(3,3)) token model, gauge-directed AERO emissions, and both basic (vAMM/sAMM) and concentrated-liquidity (Slipstream) pools. It is a smart-contract protocol: there is no hosted REST API — developers integrate via onchain contracts, the shared "Sugar" SDK, and GraphQL subgraphs.

This llms.txt was generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the catalog and public sources (no /llms.txt is published by the provider).

## Overview

## Developer surface
- Smart contracts (Solidity, Foundry): https://github.com/aerodrome-finance/contracts
- Concentrated-liquidity (Slipstream) contracts: https://github.com/aerodrome-finance/slipstream
- Contract specification: https://github.com/aerodrome-finance/contracts/blob/main/SPECIFICATION.md
- Sugar SDK (JS/TS): https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dromos-labs/sdk.js
- Sugar SDK (Python): https://github.com/velodrome-finance/sugar-sdk
- Data access (Sugar contracts): read pool / veNFT / relay data by calling Sugar helper contracts
- GraphQL subgraph (via The Graph): https://thegraph.com/explorer

## Agents
- Base native Aerodrome agent plugin (Base MCP, built on the sugar-sdk): https://docs.base.org/ai-agents/plugins/native/aerodrome
- Plugin reference: https://github.com/base/skills/blob/master/skills/base-mcp/plugins/aerodrome.md

## Notes for agents
- The SDK builds UNSIGNED transactions ({from,to,data,value}); it never signs or holds keys. Approvals are emitted first, then the main call.
- All state changes are wallet-signed onchain transactions on Base — there is no API key / OAuth surface.
- Security posture (audits + bug bounty) is shared with Velodrome; review https://aerodrome.finance/security before integrating.
