Aerodrome appears to account for more than 57% of Base DEX volume

Aerodrome is showing a dominant share of DEX activity on Base, with the available on-chain tracker indicating that the protocol can exceed 57% of network-wide DEX volume in certain periods. The figure is timeframe-dependent, so it should be read as a snapshot rather than a fixed market-share number.

The relevant dashboard from Dune’s Base DEX metrics tracker is the clearest source in the available material for reproducing the share claim. The dataset points to Aerodrome as the largest venue on Base by trading volume, although the exact comparison window behind the 57%+ reading is not specified in the source material provided.

Recent analyst commentary on X broadly lines up with that picture. One post from @hryhorii77 said Aerodrome has handled the majority of trading volume on Base, often in the 50% to 70% range, and described cumulative volume as approaching $400 billion. That post is supportive context, but it is still a third-party observation rather than official corroboration from Aerodrome.

What the available evidence does show is a strong concentration of Base DEX flow around Aerodrome. What it does not show is whether that share is stable across all periods, or how the comparison changes under different timeframes and sampling methods. The dashboard data appears sufficient to support the dominance claim, but the exact scope remains unclear without the underlying window highlighted alongside it.

Additional confirmation from Aerodrome itself was not included in the source material provided. For now, the safest reading is that Aerodrome has become the main liquidity venue on Base, while the precise share and duration of that lead remain dependent on the measurement period used.
