Aerodrome price and where to buy AERO

What is Aerodrome?

Aerodrome Finance is the largest decentralised exchange on Base, the Ethereum layer-two network built by Coinbase. AERO is its token: holders lock it to direct where trading rewards go and receive a share of fees.

How to buy Aerodrome, step by step

1. Pick an exchange. AERO is listed on three of the five exchanges we track. Compare fees, funding options and whether it serves your country in our exchange reviews.
2. Create and verify your account. Regulated exchanges ask for identity documents before you can deposit fiat.
3. Fund the account. A bank transfer or a stablecoin deposit usually costs far less than a card payment.
4. Buy AERO. Use the AERO/USDT or AERO/USD market, and check the cheapest venue in the table above first.
5. Decide where to keep it. On the exchange is simplest, but the exchange then holds your coins. AERO lives on Base, so withdraw it on the Base network to a wallet that supports it.
