Velodrome Finance (VELODROME) is the native token of the Velodrome automated market maker protocol, built exclusively on Optimism. Users typically swap VELODROME when entering or exiting positions in Optimism-based liquidity pools, or when rebalancing a DeFi portfolio that includes Optimism ecosystem assets. Because VELODROME exists only on Optimism, every swap involving it settles on that network.
Before swapping VELODROME, confirm that your receiving wallet or platform supports the Optimism network, as sending to an address on a different network will result in unrecoverable funds. VELODROME is an Optimism-native token, so there is no bridging or cross-chain wrapping involved on that side — your wallet must be configured for Optimism. Optimism is a Layer 2 rollup, and while transactions are generally fast, confirmation times can still vary depending on network conditions. No memo or destination tag is required for VELODROME transfers. Before finalising the swap on Zest, review the rate and destination address shown in the widget, as swaps are non-custodial and cannot be reversed once submitted.
