# Aerodrome Finance review: Trust Score 70/100 (Solid)

Source page: https://vaultx.llc/reviews/aerodrome-finance · independent VaultX review by Rex · updated 2026-10-30

Working Base DEX since 2023 with audits and no enforcement found, but unnamed founders and a fresh merger

Aerodrome is a decentralized exchange on Base that launched on 28 Aug 2023 and says it had no VC funding and no token sales. The searches found no regulator warnings, lawsuits or documented hacks naming it, and its security page lists an audit and a public bug-bounty contest. Against that, the official pages name the operating team (Dromos Labs) but no individual founders or jurisdiction. The project is also in the middle of a merger with Velodrome into a new 'Aero' token, which adds migration complexity. The token trades roughly 70% below its all-time high, and Reddit sentiment is mixed rather than showing a pattern of failed withdrawals.
