Aerodrome Finance (AERO) is the native governance and incentive token of the leading liquidity layer on Base, making it a common target for users looking to participate in on-chain voting or liquidity provision on that network. Swapping into AERO is typical when users want to lock tokens for veAERO voting rights, while swapping out is common when unwinding positions or rotating into other assets. Because AERO operates exclusively on Base, the network path is straightforward with no cross-chain bridging required on the exchange side.
Before swapping AERO, confirm your receiving wallet supports the Base network, as AERO exists only on Base and sending to an incompatible address could result in lost funds. Double-check that you are pasting a Base-compatible wallet address, since the address format resembles Ethereum addresses but the funds travel over Base. Confirmation times on Base are generally fast but can vary with network conditions, so allow some buffer before assuming a swap is delayed. The Zest widget displays the estimated rate and output amount before you confirm, giving you a chance to review the terms with no signup required before committing.
