AERODROME

Gauntlet lives on Base, and on Base, liquidity speaks Aerodrome. We route through it, we clock our seasons to it, and we would rather deepen that lane than dig our own.

WHAT RUNS THROUGH AERODROME TODAY

Every swap on the way in. Pay with ETH, AERO or cbBTC and the deposit widget swaps through Aerodrome pools into USDC: live quotes, visible price impact, one flow. The pool fee on those swaps goes to Aerodrome's LPs, not to us: their rails, their fee.
AERO is a first-class asset here. It is one of the four curated deposit tokens in the widget, on purpose.
The clock is theirs too. Epochs flip every Thursday at 00:00 UTC: exactly Aerodrome's weekly cadence, 13 epochs per season. When their week turns, so does ours. Deliberate.

WHY AERODROME

Aerodrome is the liquidity engine of Base: the venue where the chain's volume concentrates and where incentives chase that volume. Gauntlet is a machine that turns conviction into swap flow: entries, deposits, exits. Flow belongs inside the engine, not beside it. Their depth is our execution quality; our traffic is their volume. That is the whole thesis, and it works today without either side promising the other anything.

WHAT ALIGNMENT COULD BECOME

There are obvious next steps on the table, from the treasury participating in Aerodrome's own incentive machinery to deeper pairings once the token is real. None of it is armed today. Aerodrome's mechanics are themselves evolving, and anything we arm will be specced against what is actually live, not against a version from last season.

NOTHING PROMISED The integration is exactly what you can verify on-chain today: swaps route through Aerodrome, AERO deposits are native, the clock is aligned. Everything beyond that is exploration until it is published on this page, with numbers. No emissions shares, no percentages, no mechanisms are committed anywhere until then.
