Description
Velodrome is an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Superchain. Users can provide liquidity, earn VELO tokens, and participate in governance by locking VELO into veVELO NFTs. This system allows users to vote on which liquidity pools receive rewards, aligning incentives across the platform.
Impact
Velodrome provides a capital-efficient way to trade and earn on Optimism. Its design directs all protocol incentives and fees to veVELO holders, encouraging active participation. The use of NFTs for governance and a self-optimizing liquidity system helps maintain deep liquidity and fair distribution of rewards.
